does anybody know of a car club BMW or otherwise in the Sussex and Kent borders area, where an aspiring spanner monkey might be able to learn the basics of maintaining his BMW. I quite like doing the odd jobs on the car, but feel that supervision by a responsible adult might be a good thing. I seem to remember in the good old days car clubs were not unknown. Like-minded members would get together and help each other out with their motoring conundrums. This not only saves you a bit of money but makes for an enjoyable way to pass some time. Would appreciate any input that you may have thanks in advance.

I must sort of agree.

Im 28, when the lads see the bmwownerslub.com sticker in my window that think I'm sad because I don't send my time being a chav DJ mixing up some Dub base or whatever it is.

Then...I tell them I run the club...haha

I remember car clubs when I was a kid....stuff just aint the same now

I somewhat agree with all of the above... The lack of money available to us ordinary folk has depleted in a massive way, preventing us from traveling any significant distances to help our fellow members and friends...

      Register new battery

      Morning Steve Where did you get the Battery ? they should have the code. When you say " upgrading " the battery be careful fitting an overrated battery can cause as many issues as a failing one. The correct battery for your car I believe is either a 90ah or 92ah AGM type also check the CCA (ColdCranking Amps) matches I have never used Foxwell to register a Battery only ISTA/INPA but I don't recall needing a 12 digit code just confirmation of the Battery type Have you checked online for any Video help there is a lot out there these days Dave

      BMW M4 seats / Can they be installed in a 1 series

      Morning Kieran Welcome to the Forum This is a new problem, I would start with the power supply where have you taken it from ? If you haven't already I would check a wiring diagram for both models to see where the power was arranged in the M4 and check whether that supply is available in the 140 model. Then check www.realoem.com to see if there are repair/replacement looms available. Your description sounds like a relay is tripping in the power feed Good luck with finding the issue let us know how yoy get on Dave

      Engine management lights intermittent faults problem

      Morning ! firstly, check the battery. amazing what a dead cell or discharging battery will do. the fact that they sometimes go away while driving could be that the battery gets enough charge from the alternator that journey, but loses charge next time you fire it up.

      Engine management lights intermittent faults problem

      Our BMW 220d xtrail 2014 is lighting up like a Christmas tree on every journey with various faults pinging on screen. We have been to the local garage numerous times but there are no faults. Sometimes the faults disappear during the journey on their own or vanish when you turn the engine off then on again. Same 3 faults each time as well. Before we take it into a dealership we thought it would be useful to ask if anyone else has had similar problems & what it was. On screen it comes up with the following faults:- 1) Front end collision warning restricted 2) Parking brake only partially working 3) Driving stabilisation fault Fingers crossed.
