percha

Same as the others had the brake fluid changed by local independent as I don't have the tools, felt just the same. I believe also that the fluid is much better these days and moisture contamination is very small if at all. Sent from my SM-G996B using Tapatalk

@marko530d No nothing yet about my smart repair, another email reminder I guess even though they said they were waiting for the touch up to come in last time which is rubbish as that's 1-3days max and it was over a month ago now.. Sent from my SM-G996B using Tapatalk

Good news, these cars are meant to be enjoyed and as said before by many forum members tyres need to be right to get that reassuring feeling when driving a speeds/cornering/braking, never scrimp on them! Sent from my SM-G996B using Tapatalk

I think I will stick with Goodyear Excellence as it came with from factory, I certainly have no complaints other than the usual with runflats (after some years they can crack and split between sidewall and tread which happened to mine).

Just another wording for "Run Flat", did you get a new wheel in the end @DarenF for your bent one? Cheaper than what I have on mine, https://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/goodyear/excellence/245/40/R19/Y/98/f?tyre=27709572

As you are used to the smooth I6 why not just go for the 3.0d? Mpg is negligible and enjoyment factor is up on the 2.0d. I am biased but having had mine now for 2yrs and having had 2.0 4cyl diesels in the past, by far the best, smooth engine ever for devil juice. Sent from my SM-G996B using Tapatalk

Ouch!! I hope you can keep the car now for some time and enjoy it again. Sent from my SM-G996B using Tapatalk

I cant help with a garage to take on the job, but here is a good thread with the youtube video of the job in hand if fixing current unit rather than replacing it:

Next on my job list, thanks very helpful! Sent from my SM-G996B using Tapatalk

Lots of advice here;

If you read the blurb on the Lepsons site, you maybe surprised at what can be repaired. Of course up to you entirely, but thats what I would be doing.
