Didn't you say you live in the desert? 😀

Door actuator would be my guess. I had a N/S rear door that didn't always lock/unlock to I replaced the actuator and it's been good ever since. I know a guy who is breaking a 2006 one that might be the same, I can put you in touch with him if you like.

My friend once said to me "You don't so much own one as borrow it from the garage that maintain it" There is 50% truth in this one for me: I think the transfer of GapIID is not an issue, the hard part is finding a used one in the first place. I did see some for sale but they were the G2 and...

I thought that Launch tool must have been a knock-off one as it has the Chinese characters in the logo on screen but I used a friend's one the other day and it does the same thing, everything stored in the 'cloud' too. Not too keen on that and I have been a fan of Launch stuff of old too...

I replied to this in your other thread matey.

^this. 3.78L - US Gal 4.54L - Imperial I add about 20% to the lies in my Mustang, it's not a science, it just makes me feel... better? Nope, cheated. Managed 35.3mpg in the 4.4 TDV8 on a round trip from Maidstone to Falmouth over the weekend which I was very pleased with. I don't bother...

Someone more knowledgeable than I will know whether or not the re-sync procedure will work with the new BCU I'm sure. I've had some BMWs around this age that used the same procedure so I think you may be able to do it and get the remote locking working. 1. Turn ignition to position 2 (don't...

Had that on all of them. I've yet to work out the trick to getting them the turn off when the trailer is connected as the coding seems to make no difference at all. I know you can press the button and turn off the PDC but when you're not that skilled (like me) and you have to do a couple of...

That's a +1 for the Supercharged then, the TDV8 is PITA to do an alternator on. Perhaps I should have an SC...

I replaced the coolant reservoir on my car this weekend. The old one was filthy, I'm hoping it was due to a previous failure and not a current issue. The coolant looks good and clean so (for now) I've just replaced the bottle. Time will tell as to whether I have another issue but as the oil...

I would suggest that you do both lower arms (and on both sides). If it's been like that for a while it will have put undue stress on the other arm bushings. I did mine recently, not expensive on parts at all and as it's been suggested, a couple of hours to do but you absolutely MUST not...

I'm a bit confused reading this as the AC won't kick in without having the correct pressure so you can't really test it with a negative pressure or vacuum. It might be that you're saying the only code you have is for low pressure and that's because it has no gas currently? Not wanting to...

Just a small warning, I had a BMW E39 some years back that came with the factory fit Motorola in the armrest, The car suffered a parasitic drain (can you see where this is going?... Yeah, the battery in the phone was goosed and so it would constantly pull a couple of amps trying to charge which...

Get some pictures up and gather as much info as you can on the car and any history it has. Car and Classic might be a good place to advertise it as it's free. As to what to advertise it for... I know nothing of these cars and wouldn't know where to start but as with all things, what you get...

I can't tell if this is a serious question or not. I'm going to treat it as a joke though. HAHAHA!

It's a Vogue sir so just the base model really but I'd expect if they were there and wired I would see them lit. Neither of them seem to do anything and I was actually out at 11pm yesterday so I'd expect to have seen them on when I got in the car.

I think they have their place and I love the way they produce torque, I also really like the Tesla Model S, I thought it was brilliant when it first came out and they are getting to a pretty good price point now too (especially if you can get one with the free super charging for life as it's the...

It's not a case of being allowed out after dark, at this time of year I don't want to be in the car when it's dark, I either want a beer in my hand or to be asleep! The sill was plugged in, yes. I was wondering if it was a case that it lit when the interior lights come on, goodness knows it...

I have the illuminated sill plates in my car I believe as I had to take one out the other day and found that it has wiring to it and I can't imagine it is anything else, and yes, I have cleaned it before refitting! I've not seem them lit and I expect that it would be fairly obvious, are...

I might need to look up the definition of "treating myself" After the (let's call it) partial success of Saturday changing the actuator, I just couldn't shake the nagging feeling that I could hear the boost escaping, I was even thinking about it as I went to be; something to do with my age now...
