Hi Guys, right first of this is for a 2001 4.6 Vogue. Symptoms: ABS Fault followed by Traction Failure on the dash on startup. Traction fault on turning of the ignition. No ABS or TC light on the dash at ANY time What I have tried: Brand new sensor on the left rear (old one didnt look to bad...

So at the expense of being slightly lazy, did everyone decide that the Dunlops were the best? I have noticed that there is an unbranded air bag that has landed on ebay they are slightly cheaper are they the same as the dunlops or any different?

As someone said to me the other day "does it start and drive? whats the problem then..." haha. My first port of call would be to carefully remove it from the vehicle and make sure all the connectors for it are clean, dry and corrosion free? I'm not familiar with the system but can you...

Have you taken the alternator of and refitted? I had this issue and it turned out when we took the alternator of to replace it that there was a small wire (earth maybe?) that wasnt actually connected the alterntor either forgotten previously or had dropped of for what ever reason. In this case...

I better put the veg away then ;)

Oh just have both! I've a 2005 650i which is a fantastic fast blast. And a p38 for when the slower approach is required!

I know I know I just hate having stuff that doesn't work. It really winds me up! I suppose I should get used to it but just trying to get options weighed up. I would love to go to a mk4 unit but I can't with the low resolution screen in a p38. It would be nice to be able to just buy a...

Last thread today I promise...! I have a 2001 vogue that appears to have had a factory fit Mk3 system. Its got the usual 4 buttons and knob screen and a Mk3 CD navigation computer in the boot. On purchase the whole system was dead, I popped the computer out and found it was totally...

Really that short? To be honest when I had my last one for 18 months I didn't ever change a battery on the fob. If I'm honest I had to resync the key but just did it through unlocking it with the key, key in ignition, ignition of shut the door and try locking it with the button. Worked a treat!

Took the CD changer to bits found the magazine was damaged freed it all of and replaced with a spare magazine. All good! I think we can blame the PO's poor music taste here. Replaced the vacuum hoses on the cruise control system. Let's see if it works in the next run out! Edit to this, the...

Rodger dodger will find a blank!

Ok I'm a bit of an idiot I did think that breather hose looked a big lad. That is present and correct it's something else that's missing. See attached image of my delightful engine bay! If you look below the breather hose you should be able to see what I mean looks about a 6mm thing. I cannot...

I'm good mate! Haha I was hoping it was a piece that dropped in top of the switch! :-)

Thanks guys as ever expert knowledge! http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/261612537879 Is that what I need?

Really spamming the threads at the moment Attached is a picture of my old 4.6 Thor, as you might imagine its much the same as my "new" 4.6 Thor however, can anyone tell me what the two things ringed in red are. There is a plastic "thing" sticking out of the manifold, that is present and looks...

Thanks mate, if its a send of job then no problem. I was hoping to just get that part that's missing. I'll try and arrange something in a week or two.

Hell that's been a fair project then. I wouldn't mind to much but for a P38 it was relatively strong money, infact it was more than double what I paid for my first one that I bought 3 years ago which had less mileage. I admit that one had barely a straight panel on it (and had none after I'd...

IIRC his had some weird grill and a gas conversion!

Thanks mate! It is a nice (looking) example but as I said some hidden issues have come to light, however... the ABS issue thats cropped up appears to be a sensor so will replace that early next week and see where it lands. I will be annoyed if someone has bodged stuff for a simple job but as I...

Thanks fellas, this is actually Key 2. Key 1 is now working well (ish) with new batteries and a new button pad. Ive got a new button pad for this one as well and more batteries on the way. Its just when fitted with the new button pad the unlock button doesnt actually press as the button pad...
