Just out of interest what was the PDC issue? Mine threw a PDC wobbly last week but has been fine since.

No, same colour but different reggie number, although was yours in the same dealer for some work between Christmas and New Year?

I've only now been able to see the pictures! FECK! That is one mashed clutch! That's not wear and tear, that's defo a fault with manufacture. That's also some size of exhaust section they had to remove to get the 'box out. No wonder bill was on the largish side. |

OMG, it looks like it's been wear n tear caused by a
hammer!! Glad you got it back, unfortunately as you know nothing comes cheap with that M badge. but once you get it back out on the road the grin factor soon makes you forget about your empty wallet, well at least til the next petrol station! |

Having a new bit of kit fitted to the car can make such a huge difference in the drive, you don't reliase before. Plus of course there is the Placebo effect. That is some long way home....I wonder if it your M5 I've seen on the M8 near the Airport heading towards Greenock direction, what colour is your machine? |
