Our move may be back on as part of out fresh start. We may move back home to Warwickshire. Closer to San's job and closer to our families........

don't think I have the room or the funds for one of those beasts, I have mods to buy you know

here is a little puzzle for you all, I had a service, what about 2000 miles ago, and now for some reason if I take a corner fast/hard the oil light flickers on? but only on corners? any ideas, oh and yes I am about to check the oil today before you say the same thing But is it normal for it to only happen on corners?

<---------confused from Yorkshire

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

W's moved fast on getting that slot filled

Tin top with the "new" MINI is only a year or two away?

Yeah - I'd check the oil - sounds like it's on the low side and maybe activating the sensor on cornering?

Assuming you have plenty of oil in there. It could be a fauly sender unit or oil pump as I doubt the engine would be worn/old enough to have pressure problems.
I know it is possible to corner hard enough in an M5 to cause oil starvation. That is why BMW retrofitted scavenge pumps in the sump....

Sorry no useful ideas - I sent the first two fridges back because of damage. Which meant placing an order in April and getting it fitted in August! If you still wanted to get the model changed you could reject it - or ask for a discount if you want to keep it.

If it's on one of the doors they could just provide a replacement as they are detachable
