I've experienced 2 claims; Quinn Direct who quibbled not a bit and paid the stated value of my vehicle within 3 weeks and then Adrian Flux who delayed for months whilst arguing that my vehicle was not the declared value (including sending me ads for quite different versions of the car) and generally being rude when I could get hold of them. Evasive, unpleasant and thieving bXstards! I eventually settled for their 'final' offer (the 3rd final offer) out of frustration but it cost me around a grand off the value - and that's being objective about the market price... Insurance SCUM! Best I can get for the mo is Swiftcover but will look at the recommendations here (Not Flux though!).

Yep, the scratch on my windscreen is bloody annoying so would consider a new one....but, any pitfalls or problems that might make me reconsider? I'd be obliged if anyone can advise what to watch out for

Yep, did mine recently, along with cleaing egr out and the car is much better behaved at low revs, was prone to stall otherwise. It's well worth it.

Seem to recall that whilst researching my Sport FL1 that the difference is 30cm (and stiffer suspension)

Thanks for all the info,pics etc guys, did mine today and went well Can't help it though, I have started a doubt in my own mind that I missed putting the plastic part (see pic) back in! Logically, I reckon BMW would have supplied a shiny new one with the replacement/upgraded kit I ordered and it seemed a very tight fit for the new part but it's niggling!! Tell me I'm not crazy and I did it right please?! Thanks in advance

Just to add that I've seen the replacement wheel nut tools on ebay, average price seems to be about £12.50. Seem to cover most codes too
