Diff leak.

Thanks for your replies.Do you have a parts number for the seals Huldra66.

Wheel wobble.

Thanks for all your replies,i will look at the option of renewing the bushes.Does anyone have a parts number for the m5 solid bushes.

Sorry me again,when the car was on the lift i noticed a oil leak around the rear diff,only a minor one but a leak all the same.Is this a case of changing a o ring or a gasket/seal to mend the issue.

Hi to all and a belated merry christmas, also have a gr8 new year.Went to belguim in october great trip and a first experiance to driving on opposite side,anyway all went well apart from day 2 when i had a bit of a wheel wobble/judder when braking. Clocked up quite a few miles and put it down to brakes getting hot/overheating.Decided to take it easy when braking for the rest of the trip.When i arrived back in the uk everything was fine wobble had disapeared, no reoccurance since.Just had my mot done and on checking the brakes on the rolling speed machine,the front wheels wobbled/judderd.Inspector said he could not check fault when he had it on the hoist/lift because of the force needed to push wheels back,thats why it only became visable when putting it through the brake test.Can anyone please advise what the problem may be,inspector believes its the suspension, i would appreciate any clues to this dilemma and a picture of any suspension i may need to replace.Thanks for your replies.
