if you get a warranty job FREE then there is no warranty on that job, BUT if you contribute you gt 2 years warranty]

now go back to bed and sleep :thumbs:

Ah I'm with you! :thumbs:I wish people would always try and appeal to the lowest common denominator! :bigcry: :hahaha:

I got no fookin sleep last night at all, I'm still in bed now on the laptop! :hahaha:

Same as if you pay excess on your warranty,your parts are coverd because you have paid towards them,if you dont pay excess then the parts are not coverd for 2 years,daft but true.:wink:

Well... after the up coming TD on Monday I will know for 100% certain if my replacement, 2 year old clutch needs replacing. Seemed OK on the way home after the "re-teach" but then again A14 is packed to the full with SPECK cameras so it's no place to drive enthusiastically :whistle: Are U getting that done on "Good will" or under warranty ?

first one was goodwill but as i paid half labour, the warranty lasts two years :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

[Dan]

happened to my first ckutch at 42k miles as well, it is just a slow engagement to the next gear, so the clutch engages but the revs dont die back to the new gear level as it is not fully engagd so the revs stay high for 2-3 times as long and slowly drop

so

brrrrrrrrrrrrrr click brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuummmmmmmm

instead of


brrrrrrrrrrrrrr click bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmm

worse when you are at full chat and not there when you change up leisurely

Thanks for that mate, I think it's safe to say I definately have a clutch slur then! and guess what, my car has just ticked over the 42k mark....

my new clutch (2 years old) was slurring. Teach by BMW didnt work and clutch due for replacement next week.:thumbs:

Explain this slur exactly Shim, is it like delay or more like a slip?

Nice one Matt, it's certainly something I'll be speaking to Andy about, I think this 'clutch slur' is quite a common thing amongst us so worth looking into whilst they have my car!

Certainly is :thumbs: and a very cheap fix :beer:

[Dan]

Just came back from Murketts... Great Service as always :thumbs: Had my SMG checked and it appears it's already had all the updates last time the clutch assembly was done (under warranty) at the end of 2007 so there was no need for updates, in the end. However, I was informed that my clutch forgot what to do precisely in the CSL, so it had to be re-trained :smt017. I know it sound very strange but as per invoice... Check SMG status. re-teach clutch ... apparently this is quite common so if your SMG doesn't feel quite right, its worth having BMW re educate your clutch Grand total of £35.25 and my SMG does feel crisper & more responsive. Monday @ Bedford Autodrom is going to be a tough lesson for my clutch :hahaha:

Price Matt?

I think DuncunR said Andy @ Murketts charged him about £41 :thumbs: I decided to get it done as there is no evidence in my extensive history file to suggest otherwise

[s.mac]
