    I believe it bought a used E36 M3 at the time outright in cash. I know BeenThroughItAll would never lease a car



    Correct. 'It' did buy an E36 M3, but it hasn't discussed with you how 'it' did it.

    From you're posts I can safely deduce that you did not lease or take out a loan or finance for the BMW M3. Mighty fine car that was.

    Blimey Sherlock, how on earth did you manage it?


    Actually, 'mighty fine' doesn't accurately reflect the ownership experience at all. 'Fine' would be a better description.

    Why? What relevance does that have to this thread? It was over ten years ago.


    Anyway, back to the original question...
  • I changed the oil in my bosses Ferrari , it was blue , evidently its the correct spec for those cars
    Neil , have you come across anything like this on your cars?

    Errm no. Are you one of those cowboy mechanics who couldn't finish their GCSE's and think any universal 10w-40 semi syn oil will do on a TDI engine?

    then I was at school GCSEs had not been invented , alas it was only A levels , O levels and CSEs , before it was "dummed down"




    and an easy one for you , which motor vehicle has grease in its gearbox? , when was it invented/formulated , and what other application's have been found for it?


    PS: can you give us its branded name?
