Title: Time to service the 525i
Post by: Del Boy on 11 December 2010, 09:45:44
Well it's not due an actual service until November 2011, but plugs are due in 10k miles looking at the service book it's last plug changed was at 64k, now on 116k stupid cars thinking they know best with these long life plugs, I dread to think what they'll look like, so I'm going to do them. May as well do an air filter & fuel filter too. Also as the roadsweeper company won't accept any liability I'm going to sort this knocking out which I believe to be anti roll bar links, they're about £15 so I'll just get it done, both sides can go wrong at that price, then it'll be off to my mates at tyreweb for a full 4 wheel alignment. The knocking and wandering is really beginning to bug me now so it needs to be done.

I do hope the plugs are easy :( Mind you £2.38 for Bosch plugs isn't bad :) Then it'll off to the bloke who wants to buy it and hopefully this week it'll be gone  :'(

Having seen e39 suspension, there's a lot more that can knock than just drop links in there. Or is this model different again?  :-?

pot 6 on the straight 6's can be difficult to get to, other than that should be a doddle!
