Hi all

Further to my recent post about issues with this I have a warning back, the last scan by BMW indy (im waiting for my bmw scan tool 1.4.0 thingy) said it was an over pressure in the accumulator. Any ideas?

The accumulator could well need replacing but it could well be the pressure valve instead. As well as most of the rest of the system on mine this was also replaced. Cost about £250ish from memory for the accumulator.

Are these parts testable or is it a case of most likely / cheapest first till you hit the right bit. Getting the BMW scanner will this help me narrow it down?

The scanner may help but I found out it was a bit of trial and error and guesswork even from the dealers.
