Just a bit fed up with reading about problems with FF's so thought I'd start a thread about how well mine is running and how much I still like it....

And I don't believe in Luck so no I haven't jinxed it...

Also my FF can't read so it'l be fine

Anyone else got a behaving FF at the moment....???

same here Pete, i've had mine for 2 years and no problems as well..

Only had mine for a month now but yes, it behaves great and I love every drive in it!

Ours is great! ... only had it a month or so and it's superb. Only minor cosmetics being attended to. Not the car's fault at all.

Unnecessary quote removed

I see the roads in Yorkshire are nearly as badly maintained as those in Kent.

Still working through the minor little jobs on mine, just TLC really. everything running better than it did when i got it.

Almost 1 year of ownership and been really reliable to me. Love the ride and especially love the smooth bmw engine. A few more ponnies wouldnt hurt though... Hoping to uppgrade to an 4.2 sc some day!

No, you've all misread it.... I didn't say it has been great all the time I've owned it... it just has for the last few days... well since a couple of days after Billing.... the water splash was deeper than the marshal said and three gallons poured in through the heater and soaked everything... then lit up like a xmas tree so interior out again and dehumidifier in for a few days....clean ECU's plugs etc (I have got a blind for the air intake which keeps it all out but the sodding marshal said it was half the depth it turned out to be so hadn't used it)

I see that 2nd pic looks like it's inside one of the Kent potholes, one of the smaller ones i think.

Well mine's running fine today...

2 new batteries
New alternator
Both front airbags (Delphi's)
Dent on rear door
New wipers
2 new windscreens

New front discs and pads (2 sets of pads, turns out Verdon gorge munches through them)
New rear pads and calipers

Mods:

Well mine was running fine last night on the way to work.....  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Well mine has been a breath of fresh air, especially after the last one. Only had it a few months and until yesterday it was faultless. All good things come to an end but the best it could manage was a TPMS fault. I'll take that without issue.

Mind you, like an idiot I agreed to fit a towbar to SWMBO's friends 2010 Sport last night, I mean, how hard could it be? Plug in towball except the socket was all rusty. So were all the screws holding the bumper skin on, millions of the little b*stards 'cos it's a Supercharged and has that body kit thing. 4 hours later, torch in hand I finally finished. 4 hours to plug in a towball and fit a plug in wiring loom. Only a Land Rover could do that to a bloke.

My "Trigger's Broom" also been going well for ages. Lots of odd noises and a bit of vibration here and there but all is well for MY02. .
