Cluch Slip / Slurry on the up changes

[s.mac]

I know it's not up to Marks and Duncs but I'm just thinking there must be a limit. I may look at monthly payments, it is very reassuring having it in place

When is the best time to go monthly, renewal I assume? I might consider it too but doubt I'll be going Comp this year, Named with a £250 Excess and maybe include breakdown for me I think.

Is it 50k or 60k!? I knew about the 60k limit!! :blalalala:

I typed 60k, honestly :whistle:

Don't take it to BMW for service above 60k or you won't get warranty when you renew at lower rate

LOL What do you mean you won't get warranty when you renew at lower rate?

Worded badly, just meant you won't be given warranty at the lower rate BUT also if they find out you renewed monthly at lower rate but later their records say you were above 60k miles, they can void your policy just when you need it

Ahh right thanks mate, my warranty is due March with mileage probably on 49k by then, think now is as good a time as any to go monthly

Booked my car into BMW this morning to remove my clutch due to clutch slip. I was hoping that it was above 1.1mm to have it replaced under warranty but just got a call saying that it is worn out:banghead: Not going to be cheap. Should I change the flywheel as well??

What mileage has the clutch done?

I personally would doubt it has worn and if I has it's probably because of the continuous slipping caused by the adhustor

Shimmy, the car has covered 58k. The guy is emailing me on pictures of the clutch. If you pm me your email address I will forward them to you. He said that the clutches are 1.8mm new. I taught they were 2mm new??

No good sending me the pics, just get them to confirm what the starting thickness is and also the end thickness and ask them to show you when you arrive.

I suppose 60k on one clutch for a manual is high but on SMG wear should be minimal unless slipping

Are you sure this is first clutch? Ask them to look at history

I got him to measure it and he rang me back saying that it is 1.2mm but it won't be covered because it is worn out. It's the original clutch.

I'd go and have a look myself. Arrive un-announced of course.

Had mine changed at near 50,000 miles under warranty. Hardly any wear at all. It's unusual for them to wear as much as they are saying.

My first at 45k miles wasn't worn at all according to Bmw
