Thanks Henry, when you say module would that be the actuator? My passengers side actuator is a but temperamental atm. Thanks.

Thanks guys, The X5 was locked last night and the key hung up in its usual place. So no chance of it being the remote. The battery is new, so I'm hoping it's not that. Trans fail safe message has gone after turning ignition on, put accelerator pedal down for 30 secs then brake pedal down for 10 secs ...

Hi guys! My 4.6is has been running perfectly for the past 6 weeks or so, after numerous jobs being done by my local indy BMW garage. Something a little concerning happened this morning. I woke up to find it unlocked, all the windows down and the sunroof open. Any ideas what could have caused this ...

Thanks guys, I'm going to go the whole hog and get the timing chain guides and tensioner replaced while I'm at it.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

How much fluid will I need for the transmission and both diffs on my 2003 auto 4.6is e53?

I'm planning on using Motul Dexron 6.

Thanks guys.

Morning henrym3, was that a secondhand unit or a non oem part?

Thanks,

Finally we're all sorted, recond ABS sensor and updated connection at the rear of the cluster and we're sorted! Now..lol I'm having issues with the passenger door, I can unlock it with the fob but have to lock it manually. I'm think the actuator needs replacing, what you think guys? Thanks for all ...

Been having a few issues installing 1.4.0 to my laptop, so decided to have a full diagnostic done again at my local BMW specialist. They were unable to run a full diagnostic test due to the system only being able to read 2 of the 9 modules. They've said that they would need it for 3 days to work ...

Tell me about it.

SM is to the right of PRND on the dash. I think it stands for Sport/Manual. I've not never moved the gear stick over to use this option, so not sure why it's coming on.

Hi guys, the connections at the back of the cluster seem fine. Received 1.4.0, just need to set it up. It's constantly in a limpish mode, so can't wait to get to the bottom of this. Something very odd did happen yesterday, after braking at a junction SM flashes up on the dash and there was an ...

Hi guys! I had the abs module refurbed and it's back on. Unfortunately now not only do I still have the trifecta, the rev counter doesn't work and the water and oil temp are at the max from a cold start.

Any ideas?

All has been well since Saturday morning!

With regards to the use of Carly, is it any where near as comprehensive as BMW 1.4.0?

Thanks again guys.

All sorted! The cluster needed pairing up with the vehicle. Apparently, the steering wheel sensor needs replacing now..

But at least it's running right..

Massive thanks guys.

Something I probably should have mentioned, is that I had the pixels fixed on the cluster 4-5 wks ago... Soooo, we decided to take the X5 to an independent BMW specialist for a diagnosis. Nothing came up. They popped the cluster out, and one of the plugs had come loose (head in hand moment, why didn ...

Hi Greydog,

The garage that diagnosed the abs sensors were unable to remove the codes.. Very odd.

Can i ask where you got your BMW 1.4.0? I'm after a reliable source. Seen some online but reviews have said that there has been viruses etc on the disc.

Thanks again.
