Thanks mate :) I think we all probably did our best to turn our first car over!

Well if you ever fancy a trade for that old touring...... :D A few people have mentioned the PTO plate, maybe I'd better get a private one.
No plans for moving our B3 wagon on. My son said that when I go he will just fold the seats down and bury me in it. What a way to go :twisted:

Ha :D

It's a lovely looking car. The closest thing to the E36 M3 touring that BMW never made.

Took the E36 to my local indy today as I've been losing a bit of coolant and the handbrake is terrible. The good news is the handbrake was a quick adjustment and cost me nout, the bad news is that the coolant loss is down to a knackered head gasket :( You can see it leaking down the block where it meets the head on the rear, drivers side.

So, booked in next week to have the work done and at least I get an oil and coolant change out of it which I was planning to have done anyway. I have changed a head gasket on a 325 before but I can't be bothered doing it again, it wasn't fun!
