Gonna change the oil in the diff to see if it gets rid of this noise I get and want to know which diff oil to use, can I use any as long as its decent or does it have to be a special type/grade? mines a 2001 320d touring pre-facelift.

Cheers :D

Diff oil is generally much thicker than engine/gearbox oils, 75w90 seems to be the mark !

Try Opie Oils as they make regular visits and offers to BMWOC members !!

      Cost of service 420i

      Morning Paul Welcome to the Forum Depends how deep your pockets are !! as your car is still under warranty it may be worth it to protect the service/warranty integrity it also depends what else is covered in the plan ? I just carried out a service (December) for a friend of my wife on a 420i 2018 Coupe, Cabin Filter Oil and Air Filter (all Bosch) plus 6 litres of Castrol Edge 5-30 oil cost £115 As I have ISTA/INPA I also ran a full diagnostic check and made sure tyres, brakes etc were in good order. Time wise it took a morning with plenty of Coffee and biscuits I am not a Garage just a home mechanic who enjoys working on our own cars. She brought me a rather nice bootle of whiskey as a thankyou Dave

      Check parking brake is ON warning

      Morning William Welcome to the Forum BMW Main Dealers for many years have not "Repaired" anything they replace complete units then retain the failed part denying in many cases the aftermarket repairers any access to find a fix. By the way BMW are not alone there are many other Manufacturers operate in the same way. Try ringing a BMW parts dept and asking how much the unit is? Or use www.realoem.com for the Gearshift unit part number then Google for a price. The repair video's will give an idea of time to help guess at calculating workshop hours most Main Dealers are now in exceess of £200 p/hr Me personally if there are video's available I would have a go at replacing the spring if you can get one? If not either a second hand or complete unit swap Dave

      Replaced key battery still can't unlock car

      Morning Lee Welcome to the Forum If the car is starting on the key just not recognising the key for lock/unlock actions or are you using the App to start the car? If the battery has been dead for some time then your car may be seeing it as a "New" key which will need syncing or re-syncing. There are several "how too's" on the Internet have you tried syncing yet? Dave

      Replaced key battery still can't unlock car

      First post, just bought a 2019 1 series sport. Replaced the key fob battery as requested, but the key still doesn't work for unlocking/locking car. It's still asking me to replace the battery, read this goes after a few cycles of locking and unlocking. Locks/unlocks fine on mybmw app. Does the Key need resinking, not sure how long it would have been flat for? TIA
