The 5.4 is it. I was informed by a professional garage that it was the seal. But they haven’t had the gearbox out to confirm. My issue is that I believe I need to remove the gearbox to make sure. Is there no other option?

The vehicle has only travelled 42,000 kilometres.

What could be causing a minor oil leak from the rear main oil seal before I pay to have the entire gearbox, etc., removed?

I have recently discovered the weight distribution of these vehicles, and with fuel onboard, it is about a 50/50 ratio between the front and back. I find no justification for increasing the pressure in the rear tires. The recommended elevated pressures from BMW accommodate two rear passengers, signi...

Gosh, I'm surprised you have such high pressures on the rear wheels . ..I'm not sure what the real weight distribution of the automobile is, but I guess it's heavier at the front? On my Mk3 Supra (which is a heavier car) I have found 36psi at the front and 33psi for the rears gives even tyre wear (a...

I am curious about the tyre pressures utilised by individuals on standard wheels. I have consistently observed that manufacturer's settings are seldom optimal; so, after owning a car for several years, I have methodically determined the tyre pressure that ensures uniform wear over the tread width. I...

On Friday, October 3rd, I travelled from Filey in Yorkshire to Peterborough, a distance of 154 miles, in unpleasant weather conditions with rain for the most of the journey. I often use adaptive cruise control, lane centring, and blind spot warnings via wing mirrors and HUD, as I have always found t...
