: : : any advice will gladly be taken
: : : 635csi 82to84 with on board computer.
: : : 1/the car has been fitted with 16"225X45 tyres on new wheels even so the cornering at 100 to 120kmh is very twichy an not nice even on smooth surfaces. (would this be trailing arm bushes)
: : -------------------------------------------------
: : YES, this would most likely be the thrust arm/upper control arm bushings. I just put a set of the BMP polyurethane bushings in a 635 with big 245/45-17 tires on it and it steadied up the front end nicely. Also check your idler arm, ball joints, tie rods and center link for .

: : : 2/ dashbord service lights on all the time even though they have been reset iam told by an ex bmw mechanic that is due to the nicad batteries being dead, what he could not tell me was if this would also affect the speedo as in stop it from working.
: : ------------------------------------------------
: : I do not believe it affects the speedo. You can relace the batteries and see, though.

: : Bob

: NO, IT DOESNT AFFECT THE SPEEDO BUT IT WILL AFFECT THE TEMP GUAGE.........
