Mines going in to ML for a rummage, service, MOT mid April. Will mention the drains...
Took a stone to the windscreen on the motorway today, now there’s a crack right down the middle of it. Looking forward to getting that sorted in an acceptable fashion (I demand a matching grey tinted band!) next week.

Got the verdict on the e91 this morning, worst case scenario it is, ecu is buggered.
A cool 1400 to supply and fit, almost 25% of what i paid for the car back in November.
Asked about using one from a breaker and coding that and they said they've done a few in the past with mixed outcomes, and that going with a new oem one will be faster, easier and more reliable, so I've bitten the bullet. Expensive lesson learned about the importance of checking the drains at the bottom of the windscreen!
I'll get a few bits done that they suggested in the post purchase inspection back in November (couple of suspension bushes, diff seals), towbar removal, oil service and numberplate change.
Hoping that will mean it should be good at least until the next time i decide to drive it.
