Re: Z3 REAR DIFF MOUNT REPAIR !!

Question - I have no access to ramps or getting the car up in the air to look under so the only time I get this view is at MOT time which has just been done

If you have this problem is it an MOT failure or will it pass with this being there.

How do you tell you have it from driving the car?
