Basil Fawtly: "Specialist subject - the bleedin' obviou

[orpheus]

I'm only just back into into E30 ownership after about six years, and my memory's gone, so forgive me asking about the bleedin' obvious, but..

The word 'inspection' has just come on on the dash alongside a clock icon. What does that specifically refer to?

The thing is, it's only recently had oil/filter change; and then before that all brake pads & rear discs replaced - also, 1 green light out...)

Oh it's a 318iS.

Cheers

Chas

ps God, dead Sundays still give me that 'back to school tomorrow' feeling...

I believe that's the 'annual inspection' light, and is probably accompanied by the little clock symbol.

I think it means it's coolant/brake fluid change, and annual BMW body inspection (well out of date now though!!)

Purely a 12 month clock to remind you to check things that are to be checked annualy.

Thanks for that. Yeah I suppose the clock would be an apt symbol for a timely reminder of a date-related service. It seems so obvios now!

[orpheus]

By the way, now we're on the subject, could someone list what is actually done on the major inspection II service?

I've already had oil/filter change, and pads/rear discs - so what would that leave to do out of an inspection II?

This is not an exhaustive list, but some of the things are:

Oil
Oil filter
Spark Plugs
Fuel Filter
Air Filter
Gearbox Oil
Diff Oil

Full check over obviously

Coolant Change...possibly?
