the diff input seal on car began to leak and the amount of oil atarted out as perspiration and then moved to a drop and then to a 70mm diameter puddle. I did some research and decided to not use the car for a while until i found a place that would give me access to the everyday happenings of the repair.( i have sleepless nights if i have no access to my car being repaired so much so that i take pics of the areas that is going to be worked on)
I finally found a place in Kya Sands business park that had experience in BMWs and other high end cars, and he owns a quick M3 as well. I took the car in and got it assessed.

I got the seals and guibo replaced very efficiently and usedthe correct torque settings. The Carrier had no play and seemed fine.
i had the underside inspected for the infamous chassis cracks and im happy to say all is clear. Peter can attest to the topside inspection.The mechanic has taken meticulous care on the dismantling and reassembly.

The Mechanic also replaced the diff oils with liqui moly LS SAE 75w-140 after flushing the diff internals.

On collection of the car the drive felt " free" so to speak and the traction light seems to be working alot more. I have had the car for three weeks now and its dry and clean underneath. i am extremely happy with the performance too.

Thanks for reading
