Low light sensors

Hi All,

I have noticed over the past week that my headlights are constantly on during the day.  They usually turn themselves off after a few seconds of driving but this has not happened, is there a sensor that requires replacing?

I drive a 2002 X5 sport D.

Many thanks

Re: Instrument cluster (Loss of Pixels)

I have found a place in London that provides this service, they are based in Enfield

They do a 'while you wait' service also.

Instrument cluster (Loss of Pixels)

Hi All

Does anyone know where I can get my instrument cluster fixed in the London area? I know there is a guy in Southampton but I was hoping to drive and wait for this to be done.

Also do you need to recode once done?

many thanks :)

Re: MPG 3.0D 2002

Hi guys, the MPG has improved a little between 21 and 24 MPG in town. That is stop and start London traffic though.

May go to Birmingham this weekend so will let you know how I get on ;)

MPG 3.0D 2002

Hi All I have purchased a 2002 3.0 D a few months ago and ever since I have had it the MPG has never gone over 19.2 for both even on the motorway. I have recently had a service and this has not made a difference. Having looked on several posts this does not seem to be the norm. During the service ...
