I got a bad story, the snow has hit here too, and I still aint got my BMW back from the repairers!!!

The Saab just eats snow for breakfast, drives like there aint none, frustrating :huh:

the snow has hit here with a vengeance,

the day before yesterday i went into an involuntary drift into an island, totalled my alloy but shes made of tuff stuff and the rest of her survived.

Ive just driven from bridgenorth to welshpool a mere 40 miles its taken 2 hours with the traction control off and the back end goin out 4 times!!!!!!!

ROLL ON THE SUMMER

Stoke had a good drop of snow driving everywhere at no more than 20mph, 15 minute journey to work takes 1 hour 15 mins lol nice weather but ruins my MPG's

I must admit though I did take the missus for a quick spin round the local BnQ car park earlier this evening.....to teach her how to control skidding in a rwd car.....thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it! lol

that is so unlucky, havent got problems of that potential myself this week , cant get my beemer off the drive, could be a blessing you havent got it, (you might have been tempted to drive it), and you would have to be good at digging if u did haha lol

its ok if you keep it drifting,its when you stop and get bedded in that the pain starts, i almost looked like john cleese the other day, if there had been a branch hanging around i would have been hitting my car with it! haha!

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.

      105C thermostat replacement

      As I understand the wiring diagrams and operation Item 9 on the thermostat housing is the sensor which sends its signal to the ECU for interpretation with information from the map sensor. Information from item 12 (1st drawing ) is also used to provide average temp across the cooling system. As far as I am aware the Thermostst is independent of the sensors and operated by expanding wax material internally

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Errr not clear here Donald Plastic "L's" with short rubber hoses ??? Distilled water/Ionised water should only be used in an old style lead acid battery. The Rad and engine coolining system should be filled with the correct coolant mix to prevent cavitation and the danger of freezing in low temps. Coolant should be part of the cars regular maintenance and changed every 3 years or so. At that time all hoses and connectors should be inspected and changed where necessary to keep everything in tip top condition. Changing parts can cause as many problems as you may think your solving

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.
