Re: PDC fault but all sensors working

I had a fault with one of my senors which I swapped out. Then got the exact same fault you are describing,  I just cleaned the sensors and good as new.

Re: PEBKAC.....

Haha brilliance. Having worked on an IT helpdesk years back I can relate to this easily. Some people easily as stupid as this.

More often than not the stupidest were investment banking traders, which probably says a lot about why the country is the way it is!!!

Well I think they stopped producing in 2003 but mine was produced Aug 2003 but registered on a 54 plate.

Re: Anyone want to buy my E53 3.0d 55 plate?

Haha I paid under £6k for 54 plate 4.6 IS Carbon LPG converted, with 100k on clock with FSH in virtually mint condition and no dodgy gearbox.. I would be very surprised if you got a penny over £7k.

Re: Which tablet??

I have had a crappy old andriod tablet, Nexus and 2 different iPads now. Clearly the cheap one is out of tje window but iPad is by far the best in my opinion. Design, apps and feel are all far superior. Went to Currys to look and feel the rest and all feel a lot cheaper with much poorer build ...

Re: It's a big Hole!

I managed to lose the felt off a shed roof so not too costly like that sounds. Luckily don't get to much bad weather being in the South.

Re: X5 LE MANS EDITION - buy with 7 previous owners?

High number of previous owners could just be plate changes. Bought the missus a Porsche Boxster 3.2S was put off by the 8 previous owners. After the HPI found 4 of them just private plate changes. Also saw another X5 before I bought mine with 10 of which 7 were plate changes!!! I would be far more ...

Re: D2S Xenon Bulb?

Ol cool.. not sure I can be bothered to change the ballasts out for the sake of it being a bit brighter. I do genuinely prefer the bluer colours though. I take it there is no reason why those bulbs on eBay shouldn't work though. Exactly the same as the others I bought that did work, ratings wise I ...

D2S Xenon Bulb?

So after upgrading my lights, thought I would go for a bulb change and had a bit of a nightmare!! First I ordered some 6000k 35W of eBay for about a tenner. Came through they work well but one of the little clips snapped on one of them so had to remove and put the stock one back in. So got to eBay ...

Re: Angel Eye's

Look really good, especially compared to the rubbish in mine!!!

Think I am going to have a go at doing the reburb and fitting Angel's to mine with the guide in this forum if I don't do a good enough job then I will be going for these without a doubt.

Re: SAMSUNG UE46 D8000 HD 3D LED SMART TV

Had it been a 55 I would have been all over this but to used to my 55 now I could never downgrade on size. This is the TV I would want to upgrade to though. Lovely set.

Re: Strange Rough Idle on Starting

My scanner has arrived today and managed to do a quick scan. Got literally about 100 odd errrors. Take it these will be all historical ones? Anyone have any ideas what exactly I should be looking for? Seem to get some funny read outs as well with the scanner. Loads of modules that say no module, but ...

Re: Bluetooth problems

I have an issue and think il give up and go for a parrot. I can actually get mine paired and sync address book ok. I can even make the odd call through the speakers but after a few seconds it disconnects and need to use the phone again so pretty much unusable.
