I suppose your experience is by imagining or hearing what your garage told you.

How are you advising people then if you don't have first hand experience ?

I'd imagine Adem has done quite a few of these, being a mechanic and all.

I've been a senior BMW tech for the last 13 years, he speaks the truth

OK, then I have no clue and no one should listen to me.
I missed your advice piece though. It was go to the dealer and replace all parts ?

BTW, I am surprised you were asking me about advice on how to set up the laptimer.
I would expect if you are a senior tech you should know 2-3 things about electronics as BMW cars have quite a few electronics the last 15 years.
My apologies, I misunderstood.

Lol ha ha yeah fair enough cos all cars come with lap timers mate.what I was asking was how to overlay video and lap time onto a clip that can be posted onto you tube,and what devices would be best used to do this.has fuck all to do with mechanical systems and are electronic devices not associated with motor vehicle maintainance.and seeing i have no track experience or knowledge about lap timers or gps systems its got fuck all to do with fixing cars hennce i don't post opinions on things i know nothing about.your too wrapped up in yourself mate and i can understand why soo im not gonna carry on this with you as I and many others have quietened you regards what this post originally was started for so crack on enjoy your weekend and your vast knowledge.

[quote=adem.csl;149330]If it was stuck and you have had to drive out aggressive to free it off you have ripped the brake shoe friction pad from its metal body and thats why it no longer holds drive it slow so not to smash the whole lot up get it fixed properly

Was my advice mate get it right!!
