Glued on a fenda extenda last week, and it seemed to work in the rain and spray last weekend, no more 1 cylinder for me.

Still dry here, and the odd (and very small) bit of blue sky....999

Proper flooding here. Cars stalled and covered in water, people being rescued from buildings, in boats etc. Luckily I had the option of going across town by car. :)

Yep it was knee deep leaving the works car park and part of the road outside and thats no exaggeration. My SV kept on going through it, mates Fiesta didn't. So he got his first pillion ride down to his car tonight to try and get it restarted.

I do hope your bearings are ok mate. Flood water is very different to rain yer know! They are supposed to be sealed but then road tax is supposed to be for the roads!!!! :rolleyes:
I took the Stilo through some flood water last year and soon after one of the rear wheel bearings got a little noisy plus the rear brake calipers needed stripping and lubing cos they started seizing.

By the way....observation....BMW's (cars) do not like floodwater!! :p
Has flashback to lots of steam, whirring starter motors and irate manager types! :D
