But I have a couple of niggles.. 1st, got 1 pdc not working in both front and rear, had the rear one out no problem, ordering soon, need to know if I can get to front one ( left of number plate) withou taking bumper off.. 2nd, my folding mirrors when pressed, make the noise but don't fold.. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Colin, horizon, thank u for the replies, I will take a look.. Could I also ask, if I change the rear one will it still not work with me not changing the front one.. Or will the rears work ...

If one has gone, the system defaults to the continuos buzzing. How did you know which ones were duff, if you have access to a BMW scanner 1.4.0 you can disable front or rear.
All the sensors are the straight type, except for the front outers, which are the angled ones

Hi horizon,
I just did the ear to each one and and listened for the clicking.. All clicked apart from the 2 I mentioned .. Where would I get a scanner from, and how do u use them.. Are they straight forward... Sorry to bombard with so many questions

Where are you based ?, a lot of members have scanners, they may be able to recode your sensors to ignore the front

Hi Pete / horizon , I have a continues tone and I suspect it's a rear sensor I replaced last year but when I check it with my scanner it's showing no faults ,
Now and again it all work fine, very strange !! Will investigate more tomorrow, Pete let me know when you fancy a coffee at Mc Dees
