Re: Door glass Question

Update ;)
Door glass windows have a code on the glass itself to make identification easier so you can avoid buying the incorrect tints.
Eg my clear glass windows show code
43R-004530
While the dark tint window shows
43R-004553

Re: Warning lights ?

Cant afford a foxwell being honest.
I got had over with my cable !
Website said software on disc
Turned out it was download so ended up with no choice but to throw another 15 quid at the bloke to get software on usb stick
Only to have it not work !!
Mines an e53 3.0d auto if that helps anyone.
