Starts only when I release the accelerator

thanks to everyone who helped out with this

New starter needed and fitted by BMMotors in Stockport.

Good service. Delco Remy fitted instead of OEM, £300 + vat all in.

Very happy little X5 now!

That's not bad.  I paid just over £180 for the E46 parts and it took me 9 hours (inc tea and swearing breaks) to change it - sod all room in the E46 engine bay with the 30d engine occupying it!
