Quite a few things wrong with my Zed - how many are serious?

Zed went in for service and came out with long list of advisory items.

Which are urgent, which are non-urgent, any I can ignore? I'm guessing the brakes are urgent

Thanks James

All in probably not as expensive as you think and a few that you can do yourself.
 
To answer your question it's really the brakes that need doing NOW and the other stuff within a few thousand miles.
 
It depoends on who did the service, if it was BMW, I would igniore most of them as they were fibbing.

Realistically, if they were all urgent, you car must be awful to drive! :lol:
 
Thanks all

Not a BMW dealer but an independent with a good reputation

Will get the brakes done now

Can't say I've noticed a change in how it drives other than a little brake judder. So it's either been this way for the 5 years I've had it or I just don't notice these things!
