[QUOTE="azwanb, post: 181766, member: 2977"] e39 Second Round at the Doctors Ok, am mentally preparing for a second round at the workshop to explore and maybe change the following: 1. My steering rack is wet, I assume coz of leaking hoses for power steering etc. Should I change thw whole rack or what? Steering feels heavy etc. 2. Relating to the above, the tyre guys tell me I need to change some steering in-ball or something as it has worn as they say that alignment will not be perfect and that steering may shake at high speeds. Betul ka? 3. The dreaded ABS, ASC thing is haunting me with the second level of symptoms - first they are almost always on these days. Second, the speedometer and fuel economy indicator sometimes don't work. The next and final seal in the coffin would be the car stuck in 3rd gear, I was told. Not happened yet. So should I buy recon ABS module or new? How much for each? 4. Need to service brake calipers and change front brake discs 5. Should I change ATF as well? 6. My front driver power window looks as if its at the twilight of its career as well. So... can service ka? Or need to buy new/recond ones? My question is, given that I went to a workshop that I was unfamiliar with and kena tibai with 5k the last time, WHERE should I go this time. WHO should I talk to and HOW MUCH will the above cost me at a ballpark? Even better still, any volunteers to introduce me to their relaible and non-ketuk mechanic this week? I want to make sure the work is good and the price is right. Please assist guys. When the above is done, I assume that my ride will have NOTHHING else to change so that I can look into body kits next. :) BTW, my ride is my signature below... [/QUOTE]
