Hi Grumpy Excel is your friend here - it allows to do a correlation calculation using a predefined curve shape (linear, square, log etc) Or you convert the curve to a square (root maybe), log etc and do a linear regression

Get your wheel alignment checked too ....

sounds good then :)

I recognize that face .............

I used LUK

Should seriouoly increase NOx emissions too .................

thats one hell of a route to get to Munich :):)

could the broken belt have severed a cable (camshaft sensor for example) Have a good look round for other damage

Yeah - Munich is a long way non stop which route did you take ?

twas just a thought - learn something every day :)

so its a manual box - in that case ATF will surely kill it ????? could be that the old oil was so thick and grotty that it prevented the noise ??????????

Let us know how you get on - i did my first clutch change the hard way - box off whilst engine in car Maybe its worth dropping the engine next time - would certainly make putting the box back a lot easier !!

was it a Td4 ??

must have gone to NZ on the slow boat :)

You could use BMW Felgen Silber - its the "standard" silver wheel finish - finish off with a coat or 2 of clear laquer As said above - the secret is in the preparation

Ok - understood Sounds like a nice puzzle to fix I have a 2003 Td4 - if you need specifics I can maybe help although taking photos behind the engine isn't easy

But had knackered crank bearings - then again i guess you have changed them.........

and stiff VCU's

sounds like you need to buy the complete engine from mikey

I put a LUK replacement clutch in mine The kit included slave cylinder, friction disk and pressure plate It's a bit of a job because of removing things to get the box off. And the box is heavy - I recommend 2 people or some sort of engine hoist to take the weight
