That was a cheap fix , its probably shaken loose over time with the recent cold snap most struggling batteries will give up the ghost and there will be a lot of non starters soon. My battery is on the way out too need to get it sorted :thumbsup: It's resetting the clock after a 20 mile run but it ...

it doesn't sound like a heater plug issue more a supply to them issue , have you checked the fuse to the controller as that's the most likely to be the issue now id have thought ?

Runflats can stand up with no air , ordinary tyres cannot so it stands to reason the pressure would need to be higher to compensate for that , if I've read correctly you are going to ordinary tyres is that correct? ran the first fronts when I got the x5 at 32 and they lasted 5k till the outer edges ...

Imo on non runflats at 32psi on an e70/e71 you are going to get a lot of inner edge tyre wear , I ran 38 to 40 psi on my winter 20's and they wore perfect

As the tax is rolling in and they need the money they probably won't look at it and anyway all new cars are a luxury these days few can afford which is why the likes of vw are in big trouble :rofl: This is the end game for relentless price rises and trying to roll out ev's too fast that the car ...

welll I dunno about that but those rules were put in place last government , think its only fair after 6 years when values have tanked on most cars that they pay the same , its a luxury high value tax at the start

I did see that if you’re buying some of the BMW petrol V8 cars next year, your first year’s VED will be £5,426. Ouch!

The good news though is after 6 years it will drop back to 170

Great when trade dries up and they need to undo it :

It be looking at the egr valve too , if its not closing it wont run right , a lot of carbon can buiñd up in them, once clean remove the vacuum line to it if it has one and plug it with a bolt and no more egr.

it would only run after parking in the garage usually if its on a slope to try and level up again

With no error codes its going to be difficult , next time it happens note if you were going over say a pothole etc , and pull over and look at the rear ride height see if its too low etc on one side and note if the compressor is running and how long for . Its not easy to test the compressor and I ...

Those cheaper compressors don't last long either ,mine was on its 3rd at 9 years old , I bought a decent one and its been fine for 6 years now but I can't remember the brand but a new airbag was Arnott which are really good quality

I wouldn't be surprised if it started working again , mine has before after a few days , mine tended to not like very cold days

It most likely hasn't reached the air pressure needed in the whatever it is ,30 secs or so , I had similar and not long after the compressor siezed, in an ideal world the compressor would only run a very short time after startup as it hadn't leaked out much so a couple of seconds and its back up to ...

Not sure inner tubes are even legal on a tubeless tyre now and doubt they even come in 22" anyway ,maybe some tyre sealant is an answer ?
