955i Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Should be getting my Bearmach 'Hawkeye' diagnostic unit for the Disco tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what it comes up with when I am playing around and should earn its money fairly quick given that my local dealer charges £60 a pop for plugging into the diagnostics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) Careful what you tinker with. I've destroyed enough things thinking I could make them better ...Although, I'll be asking you if I can borrow it next B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should also be able to use it to tweak my engine performance to get maximum mpg which can't be a bad thing Will let you know how I get on with it.

gixer1 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 955i, I had the same thing (3 amigo's) on my TD5 (52 plate) and it turned out to be very slight play in a front wheel bearing so i changed the hub (it's easier that messing with a bearing and not costly) and it was cured! Maybe worth a look.... Gixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe worth a look.... Gixer I have been getting a wobble recently but have noticed that the balancing weights have gone missing off my driver side front wheel so assumed it would be that but I suppose a bearing going would have the same effect. Will check it out Thanks Gixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 can't you adjust the bearings on them? but if your balancing weights have gone get that checked first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixer1 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 can't you adjust the bearings on them? but if your balancing weights have gone get that checked first Nope - cant be adjusted, you get the hubs for around £200...and it's not a bad job to do, this also gets you a new ABS sensor as they are usually pretty stuck in the old hub too! regards, Gixer.

955i Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Well it arrived.....and first thing it told me was that the brake modulator was stuffed. £1000 new or £300 second hand Wish I'd never brought the bloody thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
