Oil Service today...

Just had the call from the dealer;

A/c belt split, £84.00 (that'll be why it didn't seem to be working that well then).

New wiper blades - knew it needed these

Rear suspension bush worn - £203

Nail through hardly worn front Cup Not repairable apparently. - BOLLOCKS. (although i've told them to leave it and i'll take a look at it).

So, all in all, a good day

On the rear suspension bush, it's been described to me as being at the bottom of the hub with the rear trailing arm. Is this the RTAB? I've told them not to fix this as the car had uprated RTAB's when i bought it, so will replace like for like if this is the case. Also, do i assume that it's proper to do both at the same time?

If they described it as bottom of hub then it not trailing arm bushs its just bottom ball joint . Dont have to replace as pair . If a BMW main dealer not allowed to repair any tyres so they will say not repairable .

The split in the AC belt will not stop your AC from working correctly, unless the belt has snapped?
Probably just the gas getting low.
