Having worked out that my wife and I have 5 vehicles and 4 buttocks between us, and I spent longer sat on the lawn tractor last year than in the Mas, something has to go.
Her Z4M would fly out of the garage, however for some reason she seems to like the hard riding hair trigger throttled expensive VED thing, so it looks like the GS is the one for the chop.
However, it has a few issues. Apart from a few paint blemishes and the wheels needing a refurb, the speedometer is best described as "for guidance" with the needle sticking around 78mph. It has always done this, but has gotten worse and it now 'jumps' between speeds. There's also the intermittent current drain, which I thought was avoided by not locking with the remote, but apparently not. The good news on this is it appears to be no longer intermittent, so at least should be able to be diagnosed a bit easier. Also when disarming there are 5 'bips' from the siren, which I gather means it isn't locking or alarming properly, probably related to the current draw.
The thing is, these jobs have been on my list for 2 years or so, and now having had 12 months at home and still not got around to doing anything and now got another house to renovate, I'm unlikely to do so.
The car was previously kept in a bubble behind a well known shop near Didsbury, and since I got it about 7 (or 8?) years ago has been cared for by Carrs main dealer or Ftech, getting serviced each year regardless of mileage and anything flagged up was repaired (except for the above, as I was going to have a fettle). The clutch is also reading 45% worn, but was in the car when I got it about 20,000 miles ago. Mileage is now 45k.
So should I throw money at it to sort the niggles (which means I'll then want to keep it), list it with the faults, or some other option?
Any suggestions?
thanks
Paul
