Thank FK I got RAC cover!

Right yesterday I kept stalling the car (seeing as I'm not your typical woman driver this was very odd) But being British I kept calm and carried on...

Ended up in braintree (by the 8 ball) to see a mate, and stalled it again coming off the a12.

Done the shopping blah blah blah got back in the car and it sounded well ropey... it sounded like a canary was stuck under my bonnet and it was runnin so lumpy that the whole car was shaking, in attempt to control my anger I ragged the ar*e out of it round the corner to mcdonnalds and turned it off. Came back out of mcdonnalds and started it up... sounded ok... no rocking, and the canary seemed to have died.

Drove round the next corner to the petrol station and it was hell. twice as bad as before and the canary had been given the kiss of life!

But this time... NO POWER... Normally I put my foot down and I get somewhere... foot down, 2nd gear... 20mph... I actually shed a tear!

So Steve (said mate from before)said have you got AA or anything cos I don't think you should drive it.. so called the RAC and sat in the pub for 3 hours waiting...

Very nice RAC man turned up, I explained the problem (it's FKed)... Very nice RAC man plugged the diagnostics in... 10 oh yes 10 faults! all 6 cylinders miss firing... air flow sensor, steering sensor, wheel sensor and somethin else (not important)

Then very nice RAC man said "have you had it washed recently" :blink: :blink: :blink: my stomach turned... I had my engine bay cleaned saturday... BAD BAD move apparently!!! so very nive RAC man sorted out the sensors and the other thing that I can't remember what it was but no matter what he took apart and cleaned n stuff he couldn't clear the miss fire.

I was towed home... Again I shed a tear...

Here is very nice RAC mans report:

oil warning light keeps flicking on. When it does vehicle then starts to misfire! Engine light comes on, fault codes stating all 6 cylinders misfiring. Engine bay was steam cleaned 3 days prior to this.

Very nice RAC man said he thinks that where the cylinder electrics go into one box kinda thing that could of got wet and where it's dried its started to cause corrosion.

Can't get it towed to the garage till tomorrow morning...

Called a mate, he recons a coil pack?

Anyone have any ideas???????

Definately water ingress... Work from fuse boxes and check ALL engine bay connections and pray they (Dream Cleaners) haven't confused any ECU's...

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      Hi, Yes The air bag light is on. I have not heard of an emulator? It must be a device to turn the light off? The person that owned this before me was an older lady but maybe she had a mechanic do something to this? Thanks for your help, JayMe
