Another thing you must also consider is that your spending all this money and you still haven’t got a new rear wheel bearing. And what else will be compromised when they install the second hand parts you have purchased off Brent ?

With out the right tools to do it, all they will end up doing is damaging parts that would not normally need replacing when replacing a worn wheel bearing.

Hey guys - my 07 130i is in the shop right now getting the right rear wheel bearing replaced - but the garage can't get the hub assembly apart. Anyone know of where I can source a second hand assembly? Cheers. 

If they can’t do it your taking your vehicle to the wrong workshop for repairs and maintenance 

?

Price and photo required. Not a trade me link.... Forum Rules in the For Sales

Finally......no more oil and coolant leaks ?

Broken distributor rotor ?

Have you tried LJ Smits in Botany Chris ?

What air club are you flying out of Paul ?

Yes I’ve used this a lot on vehicles, outboards, boats, motorbikes, my Motor home and some customers English imported vehicles. It’s a semi clear coating with a slight yellow colour a bit like the coating on early E30,s and E36’s alloy engine parts. It’s brilliant. About $35 a can. The surfaces need to relatively clean. If you want to have a look or try PM me

Mercury Outboard Quicksilver Corrosion Guard.... best on the market in spray cans

What a great idea..such constructive criticism by you Andrew

You need to get it scanned by someone with a brain that has BMW experience

Wurth Copper Slip is the best product to use in these applications

BM Workshop GreyLynn 3761250 All good quality ATE products

Thanks @*Glenn* any specific brand? or would Castrol Magnetec be okay do you think?

Most known brands will be fine. We used ELF products

Get the rocker cover off and have look... not a cheap fix unfortunately

Broken rocker arm or ignition cross fire to earth in distributor cap. Have you also checked compression on that cylinder ? These are just suggestions

A fluid and filter change will not change anything with those faults. A second hand trans or rebuild will be your only options

True story: I have been driving for 53 years and I have never had a flat tyre while driving any vehicle

I suggest you go back to him and spend a bit more time with him do discuss your problems

From memory it was BNT. I think the longer carrier type was listed under E21 6cyl as apposed to the E30/E36 shorter type

Who diagnosed the fault ??

I’m really enjoying it. Especially being able to set up the HUD and all the safety parameters. The Elite is the top of the range in NZ with every extra fitted including the Autolink app. Break in period is 2,000km. So no towing or pissing others off with the performance. I had a bit of fun in the demo one I had for a week though. Never thought I’d like heated seats, but the leather can be cold first thing (3 heat settings) All the auto settings are great too along with keyless entry. For a small AWD  vehicle there’s not much it doesn’t have for its size and cost.
