Intermittent noise from the roof on my 635d convertible !!
Hi John Sunny Sussex 🤣 The Land fill site is around 5 miles away (as the Seagull flies) the Industrial Estate where they congregate and nest around 1/2 mile and like you we are on the flight path We also have our fair share of Magpies, Crows Pigeons, one of our sons put an Owl silhouette up on our roof, the Seagulls take no notice at all the pigeons were the only ones who gave it a wide berth until they worked out it never moved now they sit beside it 🤣🤣 The E70 has a Ceramic coating which seems to make it easier to wash (regularly) my wife's car lives in the Garage (wonder how that happened) -

Intermittent noise from the roof on my 635d convertible !!
Hi Dave. Which part of the UK do you live and suffer the effects if an industrial estate that is enough that it attracts seagulls into the area. Landfill sites are the usual haunt of seagulls ! There is a mixture of birds that fly over my bungalow roof consisting mainly of Magpies,Crows,Wood Pigeons and others with massive bowel issues. The stuff that they leave behind on-route needs removing rather quickly because it affects the lacquer and leaves the paintwork looking pretty dreadful and if it is left even overnight it will not only decimate the lacquer and go through to the paint finish below and boot and bonnets are the inevitable targets. -

Good Afternoon everybody. My name is Jamie, i'm 58, male, and love inflicting mecanical hell on myself. I have owned too many cars to recount over the years, but have a particular flair for buying troubled 4x4's.......4 x Discovery 1's, 3 x Range Rover Classic's, 2 x P38 Range Rover's, 2 x L322 Range Rover's, and 3 x Freelanders. I have been doing oily battle with cars and HGV's most of my life and still feel like a rookie too often. My new chosen trial is a 2003 X5 3.0D Sport with 180k miles, she's silver with a black interior, and apart from the noisey bearing and heavy steering she drove well, and only used about £60 worth of diesel. So yesterday my wife and I took a 250 mile train trip to sunny Devon to pick up my first X5, followed by a 250 mile drive home with a groaning n/s/f wheel bearing. The car drove OK but seems down on power, has various warning lights taped over, head unit hanging out of dash, and i'm sure plenty of other, as yet undiscovered faults. Lucky i'm totally mad i guess. Anyway, i'll no doubt discuss and share my various exploits as i bring her back to her former glory. Have a great day all. Jamie. -
