Flat spotted rear tyre

Any news?
Back on the road :clap

Decided to buy a new rear drive (has a cast disc hanger and the lower drain plug). Still getting the original rebuilt so will have a spare (3 HPs in Morocco later in year - will it be needed? :D)

It's been an expensive few weeks :( But now with brand new rear end should be OK for another 45000 miles :thumb
 
When my new rear drive came it appeared to have oil already in it. So just bolted on and away :thumb

However, little niggling doubts in my mind as to whether it had correct amount in there. A call to BMW failed to resolve - they used to prefill, but don't now (cos of breather).

So before my 250 mile commute I decided to drop the oil and refill. 170cc's came out and went back in (dropped cold - so probably about right). Very smelly oil they use.

Did notice though that the magnetic simp plug was full of swarf (after only 50 miles!) - hopefully just "bedding in" swarf. Oil change at 600 miles me thinks.

Everything OK so far :thumb

Is that a straight swap? I thought, with the brake mount in a different place, it wasn't :confused:

Yes. Straight swap.
New FD came with a different speedo pick up (all inclusive).

I ordered for the HP - so colour is a match too.
