Firstly I would like to set the scene
So I’ve owned this 2006 BMW X3 20d for around the last 6 years, With minimal issues during this period ......she has just required her usual serviceable items (brake pads/discs , engine fluids and filters)
She is a well refined German vehicle with the usual bmw quality’s, such as leather, cruise control, 6 cd changer and is finished in what I can only describe as delightful metallic salmon paint scheme
Towards the end of 2018 she started to display an array of pretty lights upon the dash, this was a spectacular display and honestly put my Nans Christmas tree to shame .... but I knew it was only a matter of time before this became a more serious matter
Anyway weeks passed , lights had become an aesthetic feature on the x3 dash, if anything were just pleasing the eye with her vast selection of colours and symbols nothing was a real concern ..... until
one cold wet Sunday afternoon on the way to a local garden centre to collect some Japanese quince for the front garden , the front prop-shaft decided to try make an escape !
This caused complete loss of drive and a spectacular noise similar to Gallows trying to break the loudest band record in 2007 (132.5 dB )
It was recommended by my usual mechanic to find a “bmw specialist” due to the list of potential issues and faults with my X3..... so I found R Ellsworth
Recovery was arranged shortly after the breakdown direct to his R.Elsworth’s garage where I was told diagnosis would commence the following day
to my surprise I received a phone call only an hour or so into my usual dull Monday morning explaining in detail what my X3 would require and as to how hard this was going to hit my bank account! ..... I decided to go ahed with the work
This is where I have nothing but praise for the man ! I was so impressed with the quality and efficiency of the service I received
With regular contact throughout my cars surgery, wether it was on a parts delivery or update to let me know how he was getting on! .... even a short video to explain/ show a faulty part I would require
After what I felt was an impressively short timescale, I was informed all lights had been removed from the dash along with any issues they were related too! Obviously the front prop shaft was replaced along with a few other components it took out along its travels which included some of the fuelling system
Overall R Elsworth Bmw Specialist was efficient, kind to my wallet and a pleasure to deal with! I could not recommend highly enough!!!!
