If it does need a box, they are the same as an E36 328i or 3.0 M3.

The linkage at the top of the box is a very commonly failure, the top bearing on top of the shaft collapses. You can replace the bearing for a couple of quid and jobs a good'un. I've worked on a fair few trannys :eek:

I think Michelin pilot sport 2s were factory fit (they are on my set I bought with the car). I am unsure if they are still available in that size?

I had to fit PS3s to my 18s as PS2s were NLA. Both are good tyres with the ps2 being more track focused. What is currently on the front?

Interested in photos Chris.

F000000king c00000nt of an unappreciative neighbour ! I bet he has a Ledbury Maestro or something similar. Sounds like he needs an 'invalid carriage blue ' tranny outside his door long time ! :D

You need to scan it Chris . Most decent scanners will tell you which one is dead, assuming it is a sensor . The sensors are not dear but removing the old ones can be unpleasant.

Or an oscilloscope. Gives you the ability to test sensors individually.
