Dell users - take note
Got a Dell? Well, Dell fucked up. https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/09/dell_data_stolen/ 49 million customers name, address and system specs/serial numbers were stolen, which doesn't sound too bad - no payment data etc - till you think that if someone sent a letter to your gran saying that there's...

Re: People (Office)
We're also entirely remote workers, and we were doing four meetings a year in a hotel but the logistics got ungainly when we got past 20 people, including a few who need to fly in (NI, Azores (!)). Now we do two meetings a year and we're doing smaller, team or intra team meetings in the interim for ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Bentley provisionally sold, to be collected some time next week. The Cayenne needs a scrub up & a new MOT, then that can go up for sale too. I'm behaving myself at the moment and waiting until both are gone before I buy anything new. Got your eyes set on anything in particular, or are you waiti...

Re: Car Hire Lottery
Litchfield cracked the BMW code pretty quickly https://www.slashgear.com/942651/bmw-owners-are-stealing-their-heated-seats-back/ Does say it voids the warranty. Imagine having the gearbox or a turbo let go and the dealer comes back "ah sorry mate, that heated seat killed it" Then again, P...

No, that's when you buy another Metro and make an Austin Exige.integrale_evo wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2024 4:23 pm Will just be what PH defaults it to based on the reg. you would hope the 140 kit has something approaching 140hp (or PS)
Hmm, looks a decent price. Am I ready for a full on mid life crisis yet?

Re: Your fleet running reports
Looks a piece of piss online for the ZF8. Ok it's a bit inconvenient as there's no drain bolt so you have to undo the whole sump and you need a scan tool to read the oil temp to correctly measure the level which seems to range from £60-130. If your specialist is servicing your car at the side of th...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Yeah that's what I thought, but nope, you can still get cabin filters that aren't activated charcoal, and even if it were, £50 for a fucking cabin filter even for New Money Raith is still a pisstake.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Yeah, it's 5.5hours all in, most of which is for the gearbox which with the ZF8s is a pain-in-the-arse job that involves getting the box up to temperature after refilling, doing the Magical ZF Dance of Acceptance etc to flush the fluid through all the valves, coolers, etc. The rest of it is pretty s...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Parts prices for modern BMWs, even from indies, are kinda hilarious. Bosch service parts (filters, fluids etc) and NAPA gearbox oil = £550 BMW service parts and gearbox oil = £1050, £450 of which is the gearbox oil, which costs nearly twice as much as ZFs own stuff. Labour is 5.5hrs at 70/hr Good of...

Re: Your fleet running reports
It's deeply suspicious if it doesn't have one, in my opinion
Haven't had that price list yet, but he did say they were pretty busy so I'm not in any rush.

Re: Your fleet running reports
I can smell it in the cabin, and I've basically asked them to 'have a look' when it comes in for service, to see if they can pin it down a bit better.
Activated charcoal cabin filters will help, but they won't fix the actual problem

Local indy is going to send me a list of prices for engine/gearbox service, OE vs premium OEM parts etc. I mentioned in my email that I've got a probable rocker cover leak and I'm used to that from having an E46 6 pot and he quizzed me on that and offered to buy it off me :lol: fucking everyone want...
