[luke scott]

Well just had the 1150 adventure serviced. He is BMW trained. 40,000 km service, all fluids changed, rear pads changed (they needed it), fan belt on engine front changed as well. All bmw parts...... total cost was €250. Parts came to €172.42. I'm happy.

Its the belt inside the front cover. They call it a fan belt on the bmw receipt.

Alternator Belt

Its the belt inside the front cover. They call it a fan belt on the bmw receipt.

Howdy,

I read the service interval on the belt and seeing as I carry one with me, I decided to see how far it would last. 45K miles is all. Nice price for a service compared to the dealer!!

Here is one I made earlier.

 

[luke scott]

I spoke to him last night. he is out of country till next week. I need to renew my subs to board so i can pm again. Then I will get you guys details etc. Is it urgent for anyone here ?

Not urgent Luke.Do drop me a PM when possible.Cheers

Not urgent

Not urgent for me - just want to have another option next time. My last 12k dealer service including Servo fluid changes was just too expensive. I can do most things myself, but the Servo fluid change seemed a bit technical.

He does that too ! When i get back from my three weeks (smug feeling) holidays he is doing the servo fluid.

I know, I know ...

I've read most of the Servo threads with interest and always find Steptoe's advice to be superb. Being a natural pessimist (if something can possibly go wrong, it will) I find the concept of bu**ering up the Servo too much to contemplate. I also find the thought that I might suddenly end up with no brakes at the wrong moment a bit too unnerving. I'd happily lose the Servo but the ABS would go with it. Certainly if it breaks - its a gonner. I have the instructions from the US with the Turkey baster etc. but I'm a Chicken. .

Cheers,

Psyko
