Hi Folks, KBannon just informed me from the UK site that this one existed. I have been looking and psoting on the UK site for a few months as I have moved over to BMW ownership. Anyway can anyone recomend a tranny shop in Dublin to service my Auto. Many thanks Mick. ------------- Cheers Mick

Out of curiosity, whats wrong with your gearbox? There is Mr. Gearbox/Mr clutch but they are supposerd to be costly and I don't know how good they are. Search http://www.goldenpages.ie - www.goldenpages.ie for gearbox and a few come up. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Killian, Not much wrong with the box, But I just think it could be smoother. Some people say get it serviced (Hydolic oil and filters) just in case. Thanks Mick ------------- Cheers Mick

Hi Mick I'd recommend Fergus Conway of Conway Transmissions in Walkinstown. He's been there for years and has a great reputation in the trade, particularly BMW, Merc, Jag Auto boxes. Good luck. ------------- '95 E31 840Ci |

Mick - ring Al in accarsales.com, or pm him on here AC AL is his handle, he'll sort you out. Alan has a gearbox specialist who'll do it, no problem. I'm getting mine done soon for the same reason as you. ------------- |

As MattE will testify from his own experiences, it could cost up to £4,000 for a new autobox! Best of luck with it. Andrew ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

Hmm very nice! I saw this listed under the most recent posts and there was me thinking there was some more automatic transmission questions to be answered before I start my work. Nice way to start the day.

Pictures removed....again. Please read the pm topazman. Can we all stop this in general please, although I think the pictures are funny/downright nice, some people have jobs where they don't want that sort of thing downloaded to their computers. I imagine that could also go for any of you that view the forum from a works pc too. ------------- Best Wishes Nigel |

Absolutely not...in my opinion. Just because this is the BMWCC site, its supposed to be family friendly, not offend women , children etc Would you expect to see your collection in the magazine ? Don't get me wrong, I like the pictures, I'd like their phone numbers even more....but, it just doesn't seem right on here. ------------- Best Wishes Nigel |
