<sigh> .... f*cking fuel strip strop :D

Steve, I think you are an absolute hero for sticking with this "Triggs Broom" of a bike and remaining a BMW customer and employee to boot. You are the BMW equivalent of a stick of Blackpool rock 

When I started at Chester I asked them to print out my history of warranty claims ..... 24 A4 pages ..... it's almost a new bike

Do you have a figure for what that would have cost you over the years Steve?

[slparry]

now there's a question

The main items
2 rear ESA shocks 1800 fitted = 3600
1 instrument console = 900
1 abs pump fitted = 1400
1 set throttle bodies = 400
4 fuel strips fitted = 800
snapped main stand .... 250
rear bevel 'cos of corrosion, 1400 (replacement was the same in 6 months)

so circa 8750 just for some of the larger items plus wheel bearings, dog bone bearings, steering ball joints, asc switch x 2, rear seat heat switch, fuel tank cap, cam chain tensioners, new clutch.

add in stuff not covered that I've paid for
left hand switchgear = 350 (although I got BMW to pay for 90%)
radiator = 550 ish
ignition switch can't recall 50?
exhaust headers used 200

I reckon it would have been cheaper for them to have just given me the bike and no warranty

It would actually have been cheaper to have given you two bikes and only charged you for one
