Just started up this morning to be greeted with a real whistle which I think is coming from the water pump. Definite link to the belt as the frequency is clearly aligned with the belt and pulley speed. Is this a sign of water pump on way out or something else. I am guessing water pump, is there anything else I should be looking at to find the culprit.

Literally, no sound two days ago and got this rotary whistle this morning.

How long have I got?

OK, so had the stethoscope test done and yes, water pump had gone. Not a bad life to be fair, 97K mls. New one installed and also had the belt changed as well.

Onwards.......

      Battery Restraint Malfunction / Battery change

      Hi Guys, I’m after a bit of advice here! I have changed the battery and now all of a sudden i’m getting the “Battery Restraint Malfunction” warning on the dashboard. When I go to clear the code and restart the engine the warning comes straight back on. Any ideas what to check first? Thanks in Advance. Ali

      Dashboard lights failure

      Morning Stu The fact you have a wiper issue would point me away from the Cluster initially My thoughts are Footwell Module it's in the left hand footwell (well it would be 😅) Run a scan it should show up any issues. The Footwell control module on the 4.6 caused all sorts of odd stuff radio that would randomly turn on/off odd light issues seat controls. BMW say you can't swap them it has to be new and set up by them (wrong of course) I changed mine for an upgraded unit second hand it took longer to remove the old unit and swap it than it did to re-program it cured everything and probably stuff I hadn't found 😅 Dave P.S I wont let the E70 on Whats App or Face Book just in case 🤣
