Yes, adding petrol to diesel from time to time is not uncommon, particularly on non-performance cars. However I am surprised there are not more diesel owner responses so maybe I didn't make myself clear. At a milage of 120k miles and idling being a bit rough, you would expect to have to clean all ...

Hi All, At 120k my injectors need cleaning. There is a How-to guide on this forum for removing them and there are other car forums dealing with dismantling and cleaning other makes of injectors. >Is it possible or desirable to do a DIY removal and clean of the injectors on my 2004 3.0D sport or ...

Thanks. I guess there isn't any way I would know which injector was faulty without taking to an indie in which case they would expect to fix it.

I am getting excessive engine vibration when idling in D with my foot on the brake, typically when waiting for traffic lights to change. The problem goes away if I select N or P whilst stationary.

I've tried turning the volume up whilst a call is in progress and there don't seem to be any variables on the computer or DSP settings to adjust (or the handset settings for that matter). Sound also ...

I had an E39 528i a few years ago, a superb car, used to be just over 2000rpm at 80 mph. My E53 3.0d is about 2200rpm at 70 mph.

I agree its best to adjust the volume whilst on a call but I may try accessing the other sound settings whilst on a call if its possible. You would think it all goes through the same amp but maybe the telephony uses its own, separate amp. I say this because my normal radio settings are spot on and ...

The on-board computer & DSP settings provides plenty of scope to adjust radio sound quality but none of this seems to apply to the bluetooth handsfree phone sound. I have a Sony Ericson mobile which pairs to the cars' bluetooth without a problem but sound quality is pathetic, too much bass, unclear ...
