Hi I have just joined the forum and wanted to introduce myself.

I'm a retired IT and Communications engineer and have serviced bikes and cars for about half a century.
I owned an 80 series turbo diesel for 13 years and passed it on to my son in 2013.
Still going strong with 470,000 kms - but has been well maintained over the years.

My current vehicle is a 2013 200 series turbo diesel that has been rock solid up until a couple of weeks ago when the Entry system failed (Seperate post). I have undertaken all standard maintenance and just about to tackle an oil change for the auto transmission.

I can generally fix most stuff and hate being ripped off by dealers so I have recently invited in a couple of scanning tools to maintain my old BMW 540 (1999) and the 200. (Launch X431 V2.0)
I am hoping to gain some knowledge and advice from forum members on maintenance issue and happy to contribute where I can.

Welcome!

There isn’t much representation from the 1VD crowd here but with so much of the rest of these rigs being the same, and with how hard you guys use your rigs in Australia, please contribute whatever you can.

And as usual, pictures of your rig are appreciated

Hi happy to send a few pics and create an avatar shortly but somewhat distracted with the entry system issue today....
