hi i am in west sleekburn choppington have had a look at car on a ramp over weekend and it looks the fly wheel is where it is coming from am at work until tomorrow so will pull the box off thursday or friday depending on the weather.
was told the flywheel can brake up on as it is so thin apparently quite common on the bmw 525
