Indicator on with side lights?

Yet another electrical problem!

When I put my side lights on the drivers side front light is fine but on the passenger side no side light but my indicator comes on (stays on - not flashing)

Anyone known this?

Re: To anyone thinking of doing a DIY Pixel repair on their

Interesting! I must admit I did think there might be more to it than they say. Dont think I will tackle it with my sausage fingers. I would have thought postage costs (including adequate insurance) would be high - anyone posted one? Plus anyone know of anywhere in cheshire/manchester that repairs ...

Re: Parking Sensor 1 - Me Nil

Had this problem on my E90. The sensors are quite pricy from BMW. I bought a set of 4 off ebay secondhand for a fraction of the cost and I had spares!

Re: Another flat battery

Ha! Yeah.

New battery has arrived - for £85 its well worth fitting - hopefully this will do the trick.

Radio module has also been removed and will go for repair - again hopefully all works well when refitted.

Re: Wheel lock lost :o(

Had this problem myself - most tyre fitters have a socket that grips the nut without key. Replaced them with 4 normal studs!

Re: Another flat battery

No way of telling how old battery is. No date on it and I have only had car 6 months or so

Re: Another flat battery

That's great cheers for finding that have been looking at the Bosch one which seems a good upgrade.
Will get one ordered and go from there.

Re: Another flat battery

Update It's been non stop rain so not had chance to do the checks. Went out yesterday morning and car was completely dead. So put battery on charge overnight. Have also removed radio module as this needs to go for repair. This morning refitted battery and took it to kwikfit for test. They said ...

Re: Another flat battery

Cheers
What's strange is it seems to be fine for a while then fails to start. All connections seem fine.
Don't have a eurocarparts but will ring round see what prices I get.

Was thinking of removing the radio module anyway as this needs to go for repair as this needs to be eliminated.

Re: Ipod and Aux In Connector?

Cheers for replies.

The Aux In then as fitted seems useless?

AS for the retrofit option - does this have to take the place of the cd changer? And does it give full track names on screen and ipod control via steering wheel/headunit?
