TriggerFish Report post Posted August 29, 2017 Enjoyed an MOT pass with advisories for an oil leak (most likely left over from when the oil filter housing cover split) and two low front tyres. 1 Markus5000 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MICK 330 Report post Posted October 11, 2017 Full service on the 330d + balanced front wheels as it was chattering me false teeth at 80!! Next up will be suspension top rear mounts which are perished. Front wheel bearings starting to squeak but they have now done 232,750 miles so cant complain at that!!!! Runs like a bird again.

As much as my straight piped 330d sounds awesome/terrible (depending on my mood and the situation!), there's nothing nicer than a sublte popping like that - especially when it's not all artificial like 'modern' cars. I finally got rid of the awful Vredestian front tyres in favour of some Nokians (I loved them as winters, so figured that they'd be worth a shot). The tramlining is gone!
