Is @gstuart not quite good with DiDs?

Neither happen. It just travelled as normal BUT every time she stopped it was bouncing like there was a party going on. If we weren't tight for time for dog's appointment I would have followed her into the car park she went into. Just to ask 🫣

Well I did think 'beemer,yeah must be a body that wasn't as dead as they thought when they put it in'. I did wonder about shocks but it seemed to travel over potholes without dancing.

With a bottle? Or a plastic bag?

So the Golden girl and I have been driving around 'civilisation' today and we saw an odd thing. Nothing new in the cities and towns but I was more puzzled than usual by this one. there was a little 1989 3series beemer in front of us for a while. every time we stopped it started bouncing...

Instead of ambulance chasers the new(ish) thing is recovery trucks being L322 chasers

I keep a bottle and a couple of jackets , but not a bottle of jacks.

That's because they knew L322 owners would have a Recovery truck following them at all times :)

rufty tufty like you can manage in thermals 🤣

She normally throws a hissy fit when she misses me 🤣

Weirdest thing happened. She has been sat for more than a week, weather a tad bitter this morning. Got in her , put key in,turned without resistance and she started first time. What kind of sorcery is this?

Can you share which unit you have replaced with? If it is like the unit I looked at for the Vogue there is a whole song and dance and additional wiring that has to accompany the head change.

The running into issues, photographing, and then showing the fix is what makes it worth reading ;)

This I know. However, my curiosity is piqued and wants to know :)

Yep. Got all that. BUT. Is it 03 to 08 on the years because that part fits those models, made in that time period despite minor changes elsewhere on that designation. If not why limit it to those numbers? They can put 12 months why not 12 years? The part shown is from a 2008 vehicle, the L322...

Me neither :)

I get that it's month and year. What I'm trying to work out is, is it the year numbers because it fits those year models? Otherwise why not do 12 years as well as 12 months? Or is it restricted to model/Mk eg: 3 yrs for the mk1 L322, 4yrs for mk2 etc, etc, etc?

I'm sure I knew this once upon a time, but cannot now remember. Why do the numbers only go from 03 to 08? Is this because the part only fits from 03 to 08? Thanks in advance.

What I've seen , since being told they "don't have anyone trained on 'older' models but the guy who knows about them, as a hobby, works on a Friday" , is that the older guys are mainly in the parts dept. these days. I have rarely seen anyone over 40 working on vehicles, and every vehicle has a...
