Yay ! It's ages since we had a proper spoof account. What does The Sheriff think of this ?
Sadly, I think he accidentally killed a few black people and has gone STRAIGHT TO JAIL.
"accidentally"
What did I miss?

Discovered a slow puncture in the motorhome so going to go up later with some soapy water just to check the valve area before taking the wheel off. That'll be a pain in itself as they aren't the easiest thing to jack up but don't trust the tyre monkeys to jack it in the correct place. Plus finding space for a 7.5 metre motorhome at a busy tyre bay could be problematic.
No bubbles. I checked around the wheel rim too so it looks like it could actually be a puncture in the tyre, although I can’t see anything.

Grille all sorted but for some reason my washer jets have clogged up as a result of me doing absolutely nothing to them
Not sure if I'm going to trade the M2 or try and sell it privately, but I think even WBAC would have noticed the pigeon damage.
Good job your photos don't show up then - just punt it on to WBAC. Make sure you drain the gearbox oil first.

Fine on safari on iOS..
In other news F430 off for major service.. including timing chains. Plus has had a recall (red letter from Italy, which was cool tbh) for some minor brake issue.

What's your view of the 360 v 430 as an ownership prospect
@IanF? I know the 430 prices are a massive step up which is natural, but are they warranted and worthwhile do you think?

Just been reminded of a weird thing the Model 3 did a few days ago. It seems to have booked a repair for itself for an "unexpected condition" as it popped up on its display. No warnings or mentions of it since and just put it down to one of its many random bugs. It's out of warranty too unless its powertrain or recall related. Can't imagine Tesla randomly swapping parts out of your car on your driveway and sending a bill like that
Then again it is Elon...
Apparently it's now sent an email confirmation to my dad that a Tesla mobile service will visit it on Wednesday some time.
It's not even going to be at it's registered address so I'll be excitedly waiting for a Ring alert to see if a someone does actually come looking for it

Boo, he called to see wtf it was about. Wiring loom that goes into the bootlid has a recall as it will rub and eventually fail so it’s 40 minutes to replace it.

The Sheriff was around a long time ago, probably about 15 years, I don’t think you were here then!

Could be. I didn't start posting until about 2009 although I lurked before then.

No he was on here much more recently. I remember the very rare post from him even in the twilight years of Evo.

The 320d started with no issue whatsoever this morning, but I took it to my local guy anyway (luckily I have a great BMW indy based in a farm 5 minutes walk away). I expect it's battery or starter motor, tbh it's always been a little sluggish restarting when using stop/start, so hopefully it's all linked...

10 years seems about right for a regularly used car to be honest. On borrowed time after that in my experience.

Yep, got a call from the garage - (original) battery low on voltage. 9+ years and going on 80k isn't bad going.
