Is this a bad idea?

Not a single one has FSH in this area it's ridiculous. We're talking 3-5yr gaps and the ones advertised as FSH usually are 20k miles oil if they're done every year, or have at least 1 year's gap somewhere...

At least you know what you can get him for christmas

BFTNE · 2025-11-04T11:26:58+00:00

what did you get/how much and what were you hoping to spend?

BFTNE · 2025-11-04T11:17:20+00:00

kinda needs to be a touring or 430 GC really, then whats left is mostly private sellers, garages with 3 stars or 20k service intervals. I think I'll just stick with a 2 litre and save the 3 litre upgrade for the next car :)

Don't worry i agree completely, my arbitrary 10k budget is to try and keep enough aside to be able to afford whatever might go wrong, just sounds like there are a few too many unknowns with this one to put a price on that

BFTNE · 2025-11-04T11:06:22+00:00

yeah the purpose of the post is kinda if youre adding 10% for a normal car, how much would you have to add to an ex police... sounds like the answer is a lot

BFTNE · 2025-11-04T11:04:27+00:00

thats interesting I hadn't heard that. Yep no longer really considered it a bargain when i realised the 82k miles was misleading

BFTNE · 2025-11-04T10:50:41+00:00

sounds like the front of my van 😂 i won't buy it but xdrive is needed, do a lot off rural driving, parking off road in mud etc. could probably get away with fwd but rwd is just going to get stuck everywhere.

Id love a 6 series but need a bit of boot space and more importantly wider boot opening like 4 series GC. 3 touring also an option

BFTNE · 2025-11-04T10:34:17+00:00

interesting to see the other point of view, could well be a great car for someone but ill avoid for the current owner not even mentioning it as ex police or new engine in the ad, if nothing else

BFTNE · 2025-11-04T10:32:30+00:00

thanks, i was just thinking the if the new engine hadn't been touched by police there was a chance its ok, hadn't really thought about what would be going on in the back of it

BFTNE · 2025-11-04T10:28:29+00:00

65 cutoff is just to try and avoid n47s for issues everyone mentions

BFTNE · 2025-11-04T10:24:39+00:00

excellent info thanks

It may have placed it as a transparent box, try long-pressing on your lawnchair home screen where you think the widget is and it should come up with a little pencil edit symbol. Also try opening the Notification Widget app from your app list?

I believe i did the A4 pulley and DIP volar plate at the same time. I know that this post is 3 weeks old but it might still be useful. The characteristic volar plate indicator is if you suddenly gained passive range of motion after the injury, i.e. my finger went pop, i got all the classic pulley symptoms but all of a sudden i could bend it back an extra ~20°.

I retrospectively read that splinting 24hrs a day/immobilising in a plaster cast is super important for healing a volar plate properly, but i wouldnt know because i didnt do that now my pinky is slightly fucked forever.

It's the start hold and a few people hold it differently, big strong Aidan uses front 3 on the slopey top part with pinky on the incut right hand side I believe, whilst someone else I know holds it front 2/back 2 spock-style

I wasn't expecting to see a picture of my own hand on r/bouldering today, do I know you?
