I wish to renew my passport but realise that it must be sent to Germany now. Can anyone tell me exactly how to do this as i have already found the website very confusing. Unnecessary errors will cause delays so help would be appreciated.

Thanks for that. I feel i too would prefer to have it done in uk. It expires 13 april and i could fly back 31 march and return with new one 12 april. My next question is will i be allowed to leave on a passport that is about to expire? I do have a resident permit.

follow the above link should give you most of the answers, but if you can wait I would suggest do in the UK when the next time your there, much simpler and cheaper

I looked at that when i was renewing last year. I opted for the second way, that was by making an appointment in the UK with one of the passport offices, pay the fee and get a new one in a couple of hours, i found this to be the best way for me. Just set a day aside on leave to the UK and its peace of mind, rather than relying on British civil servents at the embassy to make a balls up in the ärse elbow location department".
