An active BMW forum I'm on is organising (I'm organising) a drive and a bite to eat, everybody is welcome.

The plan is to meet at Granada Services carpark just off the A1 near Musselburgh at 10:00 to leave at 10:30 heading over the Lammermuir Hills stopping at Eyemouth for about 12:15 for a coffee or a bite to eat.

Leave Eyemouth around 13:15 and head to the Myreton Motor Museum for 14:00 for a look round. After that we will head home.
Add your name plus number of passengers to the list if you are attending so I can let the museum know how many to expect.

Its a shame Lee cant make it , next time maybe.

Did the recce trip tonight, The timings are conservative as they were easily achieved whilst driving behind tractors and in thick fog with 30ft of visibility. Trying to drive at a pace that didn't waste time but stay completely safe was a real challenge which I really enjoyed. If its a nice clear day, we'll be in Eyemouth in plenty of time.
Parking is limited in Eyemouth and is probably best kept to the spaces at the amusements and at the Co op. The "Milk Bar" I propose we eat in is just a minutes walk from the car park. Its not "The Balmoral", its an Ice Cream parlour with a chip shop attached and an inside seating area with a nice view to the rear.
Issy has been in touch with the museum and they're looking forward to seeing us. Unfortunately, the museum doesn't offer tea or coffee but the carpark should easily house us all and provide a nice backdrop for some photos.
Approximately 100 miles round trip from Musselburgh Services with some fantastic roads and views on the way.

Everybody, please remember that there is an admission fee to the Motor Museum. The usual price is £7 per person but Issy has secured a discount. I don't know what the discounted rate is so bargain on spending £7 pp and if its cheaper, that's a bonus.


17 cars so far so this should make for some pretty cool photo opportunities.


Still loads of room if anybody fancies a nice drive and dine....

Based on the numbers above, I've phoned the place we're eating and reserved 20 places so we won't have to wait for a table. I'll be phoning again from the services once we all meet up on Sunday morning to confirm numbers with them which they are happy to vary.

Still plenty of room, come on troops, get your names down B)

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.

      105C thermostat replacement

      Not sure what engine your running but there should be a Temp sensor in the Hose from the Rad to the water pump then there should be a Temp sensor in the housing for the Thermostat Both are shown in realoem for the 3.5 V8 I thought the V8 was the only one with dual use sensor on the Thermostat housing but stand to be corrected Dave

      105C thermostat replacement

      I have checked realoem and it gives me no temperature sensor option , which is strange. Also what I did was to remove the map thermostat and disconnected the resistance heating that is inside the thermostat and replace it with a 88C from an x5. Nothing else has been changed. The strange thing is that it run like that for 3 weeks in August. When I start the car last week the temperature dial was going to max before dropping to normal value. And that happened only when cold. When warm the dial was showing the right temp. I also saw that the map for the thermostat was engaged when the car was running cold which made me think that there may be a connection between the thermostat dial and the map thermostat not being connected.
