Going in the garage tomorrow - hoping he can do a patch repair I want to keep the car as standard as possible, but seeing as these exhausts are impossible to get like for like it’s gonna be a long slog!

2003 E53 4.6is - back box

Morning, just about to go out and I’ve found the offside back box pipe has become loose.

I can see the previous owner put some funk around it guessing it was blowing... best place to get a replacement? Assume it’s the full pipe to centre section and box required?

I’ve read up on radio pixel repairs and it’s a case of send off but ideally looking for someone in the South West to repair.....any suggestions?

Note: I’m not up for the diy ribbon - I’ll end up killing the unit!!

Front & Rear PDC sensors

Got the pdc working was a wiring issue on the middle front sensor.....

the part number front front middle one is 6620 6989069 can hey be used for the rear middle 2?

I also need the part number for the front 2 corners and rear 2 corners, can anyone help?

Alan,

It is one of the inners, how is it accessible...noticed a plastic clip to the left which looks as though you can remove by a screw driver?

Extra update!

Ignition on - reverse selected, went to the front and hey presto on is faulty and it’s 2nd in from left

Latest - all 4 still clicking okay - the front 4 no sound at all!??

Next step - replace all 4 or take it into a garage for £28 and see what they come up with?

Got a 2003 and want to look at getting a good scanner around 100-150 max what’s the best one?

Cheers
Mark

If I recall correctly it was a security feature to ...

Looks fantastic Mike - my radio unit will be sent up as I’ve no hope of doing this job - my dash also has same issue wish there was someone who could do it for me local in Devon/Exeter!...

Thanks for your advice. So far I’ve wiped clean and carried out the ‘listening test’ and confident all sensors are clicking at rear. IF the PDC has a fault and a sensor was replaced but the error code not deleted would this system still disable even though a new sensor had been fitted...? Also, if th ...

Morning all,

My beeps aren’t working!!!!  - reverse engaged bleep and flashing pdc button but no beeps?

Could this be as simple as sensors?

Great help Mike, thank you.

The radio display in my 2003 x5 non-sat nav is missing pixels, who is the best person to go to to get this fixed?

I’m non-diy so relying on someone to do this for me!
