His criteria was something able to take some mileage, (his 3 series has done 50k in two years), be presentable to use for clients and deal with a bit of water and tip duties.Towing was a plus. And it had to have all the fancy thing that new car owners take for granted like CarPlay and heads up display.

Apart from the fancy stuff, the ML would have done the job without having to worry about mileage or it picking up the odd ding.

Whoever gets the 125i next is going to get a sweet little convertible. It was FILs last car and he really looked after it. They just don't get the use out of it to keep it around. It's taken my SIL a good few years to be able to let it go.

Some cancelled but many (most ?) going ahead.

Are there elections in May?

They've effectively cancelled many local elections to try and bias the vote.

Take Sussex... West Sussex is predominantly right wing, Brighton is predominantly Vegan leftists. By combining West Sussex with Brighton, they've effectively neutered to Right leaning vote.

For a smidge more money, a similar mileage slightly older ML250 can be had with similar off road ability and a decent towing capacity... Which would obviously be my suggestion. Don't recall Andy B having too many issues with his one

I have to admire your brand loyalty, however misplaced.

I did offer him my ML as a trade for their 125 convertible

But he had more sense, and got the Mazda instead. Wise man

Pretty certain that the Omega FL headhunts do not put the CD info out on the rear ISO - the top 20 pin section isn't that well defined on the standard, left open for manufacturer specific stuff.

Also, the radio would only talk and understand specific Phillips protocols.

Lastly, the headhunt doesn't have enough audio inputs to allow some kind of SD/MP3/Whatever AND CD - you need to make some kind of mixer circuit, and fool the headhunt into thinking the CD is playing.

thankyou il have a google .
reason being !   although my 4 disc changer works absolutely fine i was just curious as to the connections and comparing them with the iso din connector on the back which has the cd section populated but not functional .on other units you can plug in a remote 10 disc changer here (is this just used as a mono mute on these
ie .IF this could be made to be a cd socket then the existing cd slot area could be made into a usb/sd reader

Took the EGR cooler off, and can see one end od the EGR now which didnt seem overly dirty.  blew it out, but not gone back together yet.
Getting to the other end is challenging.

However, once that was off, I can see the bottom of the inlet manifold, which I beleive should be dry.  If grimey indicates a failure, they often crack underneath.

I think this means Ive got to strip down much further and swap that out, not sure thats in my capabilities, will grab a quote too.

Vid and a couple of pics I could manage with a little usb scope camera

Mc Sweeney has gone.
Starmer has used him as his human shield, but that now leaves him defenseless.
If he survives to the May elections I cant see him going on any further than that.
