Steering has become heavy on my 1987 325 i. I note that the reservoir is down by half.  I don't know what kind of fluid is in there. Is it OK to add anyway, i.e., can fluids be mixed? Thank you.

Hi Skye

Welcome to the Forum

I think there should be a label or pressed mark on the reservoir saying use ATF. Most good Auto Factors should be able to supply a compatible top up

      Burst tyre and alloy damage

      It certainly made a bang, it was no more than 30mph and was over so quickly hard to know exactly what happened. I think the front nearside went up and straight over the kerb then I corrected steering and and the back may have hit the kerb obliquely? It was also on a busy road so I had to get car clear as carefully as I could so couldn't stop. I'm so gutted about it and just hope there are no other problems but it is being fixed by BMW dealer so they should be doing it right.

      Hi David As it was a rear wheel/tyre then it could well be a drive shaft It must have been a heck of a whack to do all that damage be like a new car when it comes back Dave
