The story is, we couldn't find a towing eye for the BMW and mine from the Astra wouldn't fit so we ripped out Clocked's back seat and i used it to push his car onto the ramps!

Ingenuity at its finest.

engine in the BMW not a runner?

Air in the fuel system, oil was leaking badly from the cap until it was replaced, put a new fuel filter on and bypassed the non working fuel heater as per Knighty's guidelines

Now the battery needs to be removed and charged, its totally flat.

We got it all the way to Exeter from Sunderland with a bit of determination, then ten miles into me heading home it gave up on me.

clearly this should be in the guides section! well done gentlemen!

Fuel line replaced, lets hope when my old man gets back with his van that it starts up first time

You 2 should open up a garage 

You're not very good on informing me on stuff are you? I can't believe you've injured the beem! I will miss it

RAC are on their way out to get the car started. I reckon it will live again

You pair of girls! You could have pushed that on to those ramps
