  1. Ahoy ! Simply rejoined. Find your website challenging! Have just placed No. 1 son's 2B back on the road and am quite delighted with the outcome! When one encounters a disturbance, the vehicle jumps and points either at the edge of the road or, more alarmingly, at oncoming traffic. Suspect that the rear wishbones, which have been depressed to achieve proper wheel clearance, are to blame. Understand that tapered spacers are available, but that they only rectify the inclination? What is the solution?
  2. I'll keep everyone updated on this, buddy. I bought a digital torque and angle tool and have a bearing arriving tomorrow. I also have a secondhand oil pump that came from an engine with a slipped chain.
  3. I promise to follow through. Only when the engine was hot did the oil indicator light up. I tried turning on the air conditioner at slightly higher RPMs, but the light still didn't turn on, leading me to believe that the problem was likely low pressure caused by worn bearings at low RPMs. Aside from that, you're probably going to take out the oil pump and have a look. The sump's pressure sensor developed a leak, causing more oil loss.
  4. Thanks for the reply the crank looks perfect not even a scratch on it Don’t get why the oil pressure light started comming on so gonna put a new oil pump in also just incase
  5. I'm going to put a new pump in it at the same time, but I've read that if these are old, it could have low pressure. As I don't know if the previous owners ran it low on oil, causing it to wear out faster than it should have, Strange, because only the top bearings look like this. The bottom bearings have a few marks but are fine.
  6. So the engine began banging very gently the other day, and I stopped driving and never drove again. The red oil light has been flashing every now and again for a while, so I dropped the sump off today expecting to see chain guilds, but all clear and guided are great, then I pulled the large ends off next and discovered this crank is still perfect with no marks on it. Will this result in low oil pressure, or should I replace the oil pump anyway?
  7. I replaced the Potenza runflats on my 116 with Goodyear EageF1 asymetric 3 tyres that Kwikfit had on sale last summer. (£330 for 225/45/17) set installed by their mobile service They are an excellent all-around tyre, with exceptional ride quality, noise, and feel.

  9. 6.5 L of certified BMW Longlife-04 oil is required.
