After revving my 2008 520d E61 to approximately 4,000 rpm whilst overtaking another vehicle the engine  has started to run lumpy. I have pushed the check button and there are no faults showing. The car still performs as normal. Any ideas as to what could be the cause of the lumpy running? I have checked to make sure it is not something obviously disconnected. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am sure the check system will only show simple stuff like bulbs, washer level etc. You need the codes read for the engine to give a clear steer towards the problem, I would guess at injector blocked/failed as the cause but codes will tell.

It could also be a vacuum leak so I would check all the hoses

      Angel eye install…. Stupid glue!

      Well…. It begins! The dremel was useless and just kept snapping blades, so I went for the next option…. 2000 watt heat gun…. 4 hours later I have a melted set of lights and some angel eyes in position. I managed to pull the wire out of one of the halos so I’ll get the soldering kit out 🙄 once all the halos are in and working, I’ll fit the new lenses and mould the mos sharpen bits back again… hopefully!

      Electrical issue

      Morning Gary Welcome to the Forum Even a relativley new battery can die fully charge the battery (make sure you use the charge points under the bonnet) measure the voltage engine off key out at the charge points it should read 12.5 to 12.8v below 12v is either dying battery or a dead short somewhere. Once battery is at full charge engine running measure again you shouls see 14.8v indicating a healthy alternator. Engine off key out let the car go to sleep (takes up to 10 mins) then measure amperage at the under bonnet charge points you should se a few milliamps (clock, memory items etc) if your seeing higher you have a paracitic drain which will need tracking down. Check the starter motor a failing one can kill a battery really fast Hope this helps Dave

      Rear View mirror has come off windscreen screen

      Morning Paul I believe you can also get an adhesive to stick it back, goes without saying the screen and disc have to be really clean and dry Dave
