Could be tyres, check the outer edge for feathering, run your hand around the outer edge of the tread in one direction, then repeat in the other direction and feel for raised edges. If it has steps then swap the front wheels over so they reverse direction and wear back level again. I had a...

Is that the PN for just the cyclone filter? The PN I have bought is 11127799224 which is the compete housing assy (£49). 11127799224 | eBay

I read loads on doing this but didn't see anything about the pipes.... I now have the complete BMW bit inc housing and plan on fitting it tonight. So these injector pipes.... do I just pull out the snap clip and lift the T piece as described here - straight upwards? Ta

Hi '05 TD4 Just changed my crankcase breather and had trouble getting the casing off as an inector pipe was in the way, whilst getting it off I broke a plastic valve thing inside, it has a long arm which slides into the housing and a hole which sits under the filter, I snapped the arm off :mad...

Thanks, I got a feeling your right, it's the VCU, the whining isn't the tyres but I am sure they have 'skipped' a few times when reversing on full lock.

Hi When driving I lift my foot slightly so the throttle is very light - almost 'neutral power' I get a vibration through the car, if I take my foot off or power on - it stops, any ideas what this could be? Thanks

Hi When I reverse my TD4 FL1 '05 and get close to, and on, full lock there is a whining/rubbing noise, is this normal, if not any ideas what it could be? Been doing it since I got it (1 year) Ta

Tried that, no better, in fact today they had a mind of thier own. When I remotley unlocked the car - the mirrors folded in and wouldn't go back out. Then driving up the road they came out, then a few minutes later they came back in again! insane..

It is an earth cable so reduced risk with shorting to the chasis.

Ok, but I know where it is coming from, see my OP. We did look where you suggest and bone dry so we kepot looking and found it where I said.

Does removing the prop make a big difference to performance and fuel?

Where is that located?

Yea, I recon signing, dating the book myself and keep the paper work is better than a dodgy stamp. Any recommendations on where to buy the filters from or brands to avoid?

Hi My folding mirrors are playing up. Sometimes the N/S mirror wont fold back out, so I try the switch again, then the O/S mirror won't come out either. I also noticed that the clicking from the relay stops and all is quite when I flick the switch instead of the click I normally hear. If I...

yea, I did think about the ebay option.. heh heh.... It's the basic stuff like oil and filter changes I will be doing.

Hi My FL has Full Service History but I am more than capable of servicing it myself (I used to work as a mechanic). How can I do the due service (12k at 60k) but keep the FSH... what do you do? And before you suggest it, no I don't know anyone who will stamp my book. :rolleyes: ta

This is insane... and took me and an AA bloke 45mins to suss out.... For sometime Mrs K has been mentioning a funny smell in the back of my '05 TD4 so whilst away on our hols last week (caravaning) I was a bit bored so started digging about and found that the O/S rear carpet was soaked in...

Ok, thanks for that. Think I'll give it a miss as don't want the worry of a clutch failure.

Hi I am looking at a FL2 and took it for a test drive yesterday, very nice but the clutch had a very high bite. '06 TD4, 70k, FSH. Could this be a hint of a pending failure or is it a simple adjustment somewhere? Thanks

I take it you haven't taken it apart and had a look inside... It is a part alloy extrusuion and part valve so if you cut it out you would have a big hole in the side of the unit which you will then need to weld up and then make a blanking plate to connect the exhaust onto. Also, you will never...
