that was my next question after I spent 10mins looking for a drain hole....can only think that something must have spilled in the boot but I have never noticed anything. it has the hard liner fitted so I think I would have seen something......

It could be a faulty PDC Module....unusual for all the sensors to suddenly stop working. yes...that was my thoughts, but I thought it would have thrown up the blinking light and tone on the switch. co-incidentally when I took out the pdc module for a quick visual check and spray with contact ...

Both my front and rear parking sensors have suddenly stopped working.....the green light on the button still glows continuously and there is no beep as you get when an individual sensor goes down. tested with a snap-on scanner and its says everything ok. manual test of the acoustic sounders using ...

Towel and bin liner trapped in top of door and draped over handle......looks crap but effective and stops the door seal from freezing together too. Failing that a zip lock bag half filled with hot water held over handle works.....

I got it with the dedicated kit....tow bar very good quality and electrics work perfectly, disabling rear sensors and enabling trailer light checks....

does anyone know if the leather insert is removable from the door card???? I need a new n/s front but I have the rare truffle Dakota leather and I cannot find any on ebay etc......RealOEM only lists the complete door card at £1k+

plug and play (except for a wire to the battery for the fridge)....really easy

i got the removable tow bar from p f jones and the original bmw electric kit (with fridge circuit already spliced in)....plug and play with just a battery and earth connection for the fridge...tow bar is fairly straightforward as well with patience, took me about 5 hours all in and about £280.....

when you push it across it goes into 'sport mode' auto.....push forward or back and you are in manual tiptronic.....

Thanks for taking time to reply.... The clock cannot be set with the radio as the clock/bc button doesn't do anything (except make the display blink when you press it) I tried the battery disconnect but only for 20 mins.....from what I have read on here it would appear that it needs to be off for at ...
