Re: Side window leaks.
Try applying 'Gummi pfledge' to the rubbers. I have an old BMW branded tube which works wonders in 'plumping up' the rubbers and fixing the leaks, but I think the original formula was withdrawn because of a suspected health risk. There is a modern equivalent of the same name, but I don't know how ef...

RED puts out less CO2 in a year than an average mileage Prius, yet the VED is many times more.
The system is completely cocked...
Oh, and RED has never been in the Congestion Tax Zone and hopefully never will.

Oil temp in an ///M engine must reach 80deg before going past 3k rpm. It's the LAW...!
As I understand it, this is to make sure that the VANOS has a full supply of warmed oil before it gets a hammering.
That's why our S50s and S54s have oil temp gauges....
