well the funny thing is turning it Anti clock wise has less resistance than clockwise, yet turning it ACW makes the indicators flash whereas CW does nothing, should they flash from turning the key in both directions? Adam

Hi all, bit of a long story, My p38 keyfob played up yesterday while i was playing around with the air suspension. i managed to put some other batterys in it and re-sync it (after alot of swearing) and got it going again. obviously it was unlocked at the time otherwise i couldnt have re-synced...

thanks for the replies, ABU i thought that would probably be the case, is there a way of knowing which models of BMW had the different flange sizes? and which size is the RR one? if i was planning to keep it for a long time i would buy a recon one, but will probably sell next year but don't want...

Bazbar, as in OP and my post in your topic, i have the same fault as you, but also had a different fault with number 4 injector so this was replaced, the injector fault went but the injector light coming on on decelleration is still there so number 4 injector can't be causing the fault...

Hi all, got a 1996 2.5 P38 which i need to change the pump on at some point as i have a fuel quantity actuator fault and hot start problems, so my question is, are the pumps from the 325 / 525 tds and omega the same? i have read differing opinions on the matter. some say the electronics need...

i've got the same fault on mine, and also had a different fault with no 4 injector which caused it to have basically no power, couldnt even drive up my lane. put new injector in and that fault went but the fault with fuel quantity actuator and the light coming on on deceleration still there...

just read codes on mates AA laptop and sure enough its needle lift sensor. cheers all

with the RF receiver completely disconected will the Becm go to sleep? mine has a steady current draw of .5A that never drops below that. i have disconnected the power wire to RF receiver but will try completely unplugging it if this will help. will i be able to lock/unlock the car with it out?

Hi all, got a 96 2.5 diesel P38, since i've had it its had the intermittant overrun injector light come on, but had kept driving it since and have just adapted my driving style to avoid it happening much. it seems low on power in general (although i havent driven a different one to compare) and...

Hi, just opened up my Becm (1995 2.5 diesel) to find a burnt out transistor, does anyone have a layout of which one does what? or is it in Rave? which i have but its at home and i'm at work :doh:

North Devon, hmm not too sure just yet, open to sensible offers though!

Hi all, got a few questions to help fix some of the problems with my P38 before i sell it, firstly: the HEVAC blend motors, both heaters will only blow cold, does this mean both blend motors are gone, or when it notices one doesnt work does it deliberately not let the other operate? second...

Hi, yeah I've had all the dash and instruments out, nothing been touched in there other than where someones cut the original wires for the stereo. From what I can the the red/white is the power for the dash lights and have traced it all the way back to the Becm, the Becm is putting out a...

Hi, thanks! i will PM my address that would be brilliant, yep bit of a nightmare on the wiring side! should the backlights dim using the stalk control or is it just the LCD backlights that dim and the rest are on full time? Cheers

Hi all, am trying to get my dash lights working and thus need a wiring diagram, i see the link to the rave download is not working, can anyone help please? many thanks

yeah ashcroft sell the VCU's for £375, rebuilding the IRD myself was the other option but i think even the ebay kits come close to the £450 price exchange unit i've seen so it just wouldn't be worth the risk, theyre on ebay the exchange units so i didnt dream it :) will wait and see what...

well thats the thing, its near enough throw away money if it comes to it but would rather not drive it for a month then it die! think i'll take them off and see how it drives and then consider my options!

well its not quite a fiver but he bought it for £70, and put 12 months mot on it so it only owes him £130, has good service history, 4 new tyres, spot light side bars blah blah i just want a cheap work horse to be honest, and i was sure i found a place selling exchange IRD's for £450, but accept...

hi all, looking at buying a freelander from a mate but the IRD is knocking, have read around and gather i can basically just removed the rear propshaft/s and drive it in 2wd which generally gets rid of the knock, but my question is, how long for? is it going to self destruct in a months time or...

that looks like just what i need cheers!!! liking the beer idea aswell!:rolleyes:
