SLIPPING CLUTCH
Hi Dave, its now Friday the 8th and I got the car back on Wednesday. They said the dual mass flywheel was fine so they did not fit a new one. The clutch is 50% lighter than it was so I am having to learn to drive it again. My wife might even have a go at it as the clutch was far to heavy for her before (don't know if that's a good thing or not). Anyway my wallet is £586.00 lighter than it was but at least its done now. My next problem is finding out how to reset the brake pad lights on the dash. When it came on I took the wheels of thinking I needed new pads as I had fitted them in 2017 when I got the car but there was at least 5/16" on the front and about 1/4" on the back. I pulled the sensors out and the looked fine, none of the 2 were showing any wear so I put it down to faulty sensors. I ordered a new pair and while waiting for them cut the originals and soldered them together. I have tried to find a tutorial to put the lights out without success so I need a bit of help there. I've looked on u tube but can't find one for my model. cheers Paneuro. -

Hi David Your car should have the ZF 8 speed box as Stu says is there any evidence that the box has serviced ZF recommend every 60k miles and they often get foregotten. Other things to check First Tyres are they all the correct size and are wear patterns the same. Odd tyres across axels or front to rear can wreak havoc mainly with the Transfer case though. Second find a good open area and on full lock reverse slowly if it is a Transfer case issue you will feel/hear a jerking through the steering. If all is smooth yout Transfer case should be OK My local BMW Specialist charges £650 for a GB service plus around £80 if a software update is needed. I save around £260 by doing it myself (ZF Fluid and Filters) Dave -
