BMW UK no doubt. We had similar issues with Audi UK until they sent someone who knew what they were doing a few months later...

It coughed spluttered then died at a set of lights, with a horrid smell of diesel. There's a catastrophic leak somewhere. Probably find out that someones not tightened something up correctly after the engine transplant.  ::) ::) ::)

My brother's X5 (yeah, I know, idiot, but he will only consider BMW) keeps going back with a gearbox fault, has done for years. Well, last year, they declared it needed a new £7k gearbox. So after a couple of jars of Vaseline he drove it out of the dealers, and got down the road before realising it hadn't made a jot of difference.

Mind you, these are the same mongrel dealers that stuck it through an automated car wash on its first service. If that wasn't bad, they left the sunroof open at the time.

He still uses them for all servicing  ::)

And I believe you also mention Ford......... :o Begs the question, is it the Car's fault? After all, they have one other thing in common!.................. ;) ;)

There's a German fella at work who will only buy Audis..

He'll also only take them to Audi in Germany for servicing - he doesn't have anything good, or even remotely good, to say about mechanics in this country.. ;D

To be fair, he's not had any faults since he started doing that  :o
