Re: Whine in the rear

To be honest I did not check if the back plates were touching the discs or not! That will be my first port of call.

Whine in the rear

Hello I've been looking through all the previous posts about diff/bearing whine etc but cannot seem to put my finger on mine... My car is a 1992 318i cab, done 135k miles. The whine is at the nearside rear. It only whines at low speeds and up to about 25miles and hour. It seems to come and go and is...

318i auto not engaging top gear!

Hi all,

my 318i auto has stopped engaging the 4th gear which is a pain as i do quite a lot of motorway driving.

Oil level is fine but could do with a change soon. Something to do with a cable maybe? Any help would be great!

Thanks in advance

I have a 1.8 auto in at the moment which is pretty lame. Is it worth putting a m42 in or would bigger be better?
