HI, The rear screen washer on my E61 has stopped working. With the tailgate open I can see the washer fluid escaping down the left hand side of the door. So the switch is activating the washer pump but it looks as if the hose has come free from the washer jet. Trouble is the jet is in the...

Hi all I have a 2008 3 litre diesel x5 and would love some help. My engine is making a whirring noise if I squeeze the vacuum hose coming out of the erg valve it stops. Does that mean I need to replace the erg valve? Or is the problem at the other end of the vacuum hose? Many thanks Adrian

Hello all, I have a 2000 E39 528i pre facelift. To be fair it's been parked up for a week but I usually use it on my days off work which I work 4 on 4 off. My key fob battery has died which was fine before not that it should matter as I've used the spare key before with a dead key...

Hi all, am looking to buy a 2010 F11 530d with 103,000 miles on the clock. On arrival, the first thing I noticed was that the car was completely on its rear offside tyre (right hand side when looking at boot), and the car was a little bit sunk down on the rear nearside tyre. Immediately after...

Just an FYI post here.... When I got my car two years ago I found that the radio would cut in and out for a minute or two on start. Also, I never realised that I should have been able to connect my phone over bluetooth. I just assumed it didn't have that feature. After some research I found...

On my 2006 E91 320d diagnostics are showing a faulty Flow Control Valve (4302). Does anyone have any experience of this fault? What are they symptoms (other than a fault code)? How easy is it to replace? tia. Toby

Factory Xenon lights, thoughts appreciated... Both lights have become, at best, intermittent and mostly not working at all. Switching off/on can make one fire up but both working is a distant memory. I don't have a good one to swap bits with. Obviously, I can just buy two ballasts and two...

My car (2nd hand) came with the OEM Bluetooth option (inc. phone cradle) but I've never had Bluetooth working. I tried to short pins 1 & 17 of the connector without luck: no BT message on the radio unit, nothing to pair with on the phones. I suspect the BT unit may be faulty, but before trying...

Hi guys. I've had an aircon recharge 3 weeks ago or so and during the first two weeks it was blowing cool air as normal. Today I've noticed that when I set my aircon to 18 degrees, it flows a somewhat warmish-cool (I think I've created a new word!) air. In other words it is definitely not 18...

Hi, I have an issue with 2 modules within my BMW airbag system that causes an airbag light and associated warnings. i had the codes read and the sensor vehicle centre (by handbrake) and the sensor b-pillar right (door post) will not communicate. So now i purchased 2 very cheap modules from ebay...

I have a 2007 320D that I've had in my garage for 6 months since I got a company car. I had the battery disconnected and gave it a top up with an external charger every month. Since I'm moving house and will lose the garage, I need to get it MOT'd and sold. I reconnected the battery and the car...
