Steering has become heavy on my 1987 325 i. I note that the reservoir is down by half.  I don't know what kind of fluid is in there. Is it OK to add anyway, i.e., can fluids be mixed? Thank you.

Hi Skye

Welcome to the Forum

I think there should be a label or pressed mark on the reservoir saying use ATF. Most good Auto Factors should be able to supply a compatible top up

      Dash Warning

      HI all, I am being displayed this image on the dash LED when I turn the car off. Cannot find it referenced anywhere and it seems to show both an oil can and a level indicator as the oil has been checked and is fine as is the rad. Can anyone advise please.

      Trailer Hitch

      Morning Edward Welcome to the Forum I have to admit I am ignorant of the later 7 series cars but Westfailia were BMW's OEM choice as suppliers. So my starting point would be to find a Westfailia specialist and talk to them Hope this helps Dave

      Has anyone found a manufactured trailer hitch that fits or is easily modified to fit a G12? OR Can someone show me pics of their custom made hitch?

      Morning Lissa Welcome to the Forum I guess the first step is getting an estimate of cost to repair, then measure that against cost of changing the car One of our sons (a tree surgeon) had his pick up written off by driver who claimed it was parked in a dangerous spot ?? Straight road two wheels on the grass verge and warning signs out as they were working as well, Police checked the guys phone records he was texting at the time ?? Hope you find away to get the car sorted Dave Sunny Sussex UK (and it is today 😊
