    Hi there, Hoping there might be somebody out there who can understand why my Compact has recently developed some odd electrical happenings. Very recently the passenger door open indicator has started flashing intermittently. Then on exiting the car I notice the brake lights are illuminated...

    Hi, I bought this bmw 320D e46 a few months ago, it has been perfectly fine til about 3 weeks ago. I turned off the car and was headed out again 20 minutes later, then the car suddenly didn’t start. At first I saw that the fuel supply pump under the car was destroyed, so I changed it. Didn’t...

    Hey guys, I've been having some issues with rough idle after stopping the car and putting it in the neutral (manual gearbox). I've already replaced the MAF and the Idle control valve but that didn't help. I've also replaced the O-ring on Disa valve. The idle sometimes falls really low and the...

    Hi all, My 318i Touring (N42 engine) is generally running fine, also showing no fault codes. However occasionally it does belch out a big cloud of black smoke, then continuing as if nothing happened. It seems to occur mostly when moving off after having been stuck in traffic, idling for a while...

    Today had some problems with my car, basically at one point after pushing the gas the car started "shaking" and afterwards started sounding weird. Guessing it's injectors. Soon after checked it with INPA, no fault codes and only thing in the reds was the selective mass adjustment for cylinder 4...

    Hello, I have problem with 4th vibration but only when I decelerate. When i put a clutch pedal or gas (it does't matter how strong is pressed) everything is okay. Problem doesn't exist all the time. Sometimes 4th gear is rigid and doesn't vibrate. I don't know where should i look for solution...

    Hi! After a coolant expansion tank burst, engine got really hot before I was able to pull over. (OBD2 logger claimed 143C degrees) Tank has been swapped, coolant refilled and 100% free of air. Now it runs great, stable at middle of temp gauge (~80C I believe?) in dash, for about 30 minutes...

    Hi, I’ve started to get quotes for repairs/resprays to my 330i Touring. It’s just flown through another MOT but the paintwork needs a refresh. For context, it’s on 230,000 miles...so I only want to invest so much. The interior is v smart. The bonnet and one wing have lots of stone chips...

    Hey everyone, So my 330d has developed an issue and I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Basically, it accelerates fine up through the revs/gears (if a little sluggish than it used to be) But if you are in any gear and rev it up to 3000 odd and then let it drop down to about 2400 without...

    Hi, can anyone tell me if the pre fuel pump on my E46 330d should stay on while the engine is running, or is it there simply to prime the engine before it is started up (Then switches off)? Thanks Paul

    Long story short, my friend has INPA and proper cable. Cable works with other e46 and e39s we have. But on mine he can only see DDE module nothing else. It gives an error as "data transmission to interface disturbed ". Anyone has idea what to do? What to check?

    So, after the rear of my car fell off the jack… (don't ask!). The suspension was noticeably wonky - one wheelarch was a couple inches lower than the other. I replaced the springs, and it seems better but it's still not even - one side is still an inch or so higher than the other and I can hear a...

As soon as it goes to empty it will not go back to half way or full ect unless i do a re set and then goes back to half full. Is the issue the common fuel sending unit or the cluster as was told the...

    Well this weekend I picked up a 2002 BMW e65 745i for the bargain price of £400. "Whats wrong with it?" you ask... well, all of the things! The car has stood for 6 years, mostly indoors, but the leaves in the trays say not always. I've known of the cars existence for about 8 years - 10...
