Triggers Broom... the saga continues
Started broom this morning... battery light flashing ! ... think right alternator fooked.. but timing is about right as my car hasnt been into Murketts for almost a week now !
Then ... I hear subtle noises from under tut bonnet ... mmmm.. im hoping Alternator bearings perhaps collapsed ... nope ... faint rumble to top end of engine when just blipping and loading engine everso slightly. So .... onto trailer and away it has gone Vanos perhaps? ..could be a number of things I suppose.

Latest is... they are going to disconnect the Alt to eliminate the possibility of bearing noise being transmitted through the engine, defo new alternator though ! ..happy days and I love BMW warranty solutions .
I have worked out that during my ownership of the CSL, it would have been more economical for BMW to pay me about £2,000 a month NOT to own one !!
