Upadate on my V8



And so the saga continues...

You might recall from the previous chapter of my V8 woes (after
pissing off the Audi gods by test driving another car and motorcycle)
I had developed several maladies:

Shudder from the front as if the diff was locked and an abs fault:
Sure enough, they were related (as eliot and a few others suggested).
Turns out the abs sensor had fallen off!!  quick wipe of a rag, push it
back in, and presto!  everything is fine.

The other problem I've been having is a lurching at 50 to 60 that I thought
might have been a Throttle Position Sensor.  It wasn't the surging that a bad
O2 sensor gives, but a throttle lag.  Replaced (actually the dealer)
 the Idle stabilizer valve, and it
is as good as new.....

...except that I had all of the fluids changed: diffs, tranny, oil, etc.
and now I
have another leak!!!  ARRRGGGHHH!!

BTW, I did buy the bike, so yet another Q lister with a BMW (K1)
