Looks awful in Pink, might have to take it back to Silver Grey ;)

Something bad has happened. Getting it sorted ASAP but after just over 9,000 miles and its 1st service, it has come to light that a new clutch is required :roll:

It has felt slippy now for quite some time, and I have had to "baby" it on the throttle while SMG takes its ever increasing time to complete the change.

If it conflicts with the day then it can be postponed till after, but would be nice to have the work completed beforehand. Grrrr.

VXT is in pieces again (melted the manifold) so I'll cruise up in the X5 and say hello.
