    Hi Malcom. have you broken a spring?

    Hi Jock. Is the car 4 wheel drive? 4x4 centre bearing? that would be my first guess. does it make the noise when stationary?

    I just got one for my Porsche cayenne… it needs a plastic sleeve replacing on rhe gear stick…. if it’s like my bmw recall, they will give it a good valet for free too! 😂 also, make sure you get the recall done and documented as I have heard of insurance companies not paying if there are recalls which you have not had done.

    To be honest, Limo only looks good if it’s done right. Any blemish or pitting on the window makes it look like a bin bag. The camera would only work if it was touching the window so maybe go a couple of shades less 👍🏻

    Hi James, enjoy your ride! remember when you go for tints, the car should already be tinted, so get the garage to meter the fronts with the film on the window otherwise it might fail. one of my mates got done for having legal tint film on tinted windows, which he didn’t take into consideration. for the back… limo black! 👍🏻

    Can you open the boot to reach the battery? use this terminal to put power to the car so you can open the boot and jump it from the battery itself if I remember correctly

    Try these two!

    Hi. if it’s the same as this one… the red capped terminal is the positive and the bolt circled is the negative/chassis/ground…. This is the one you need!

    It’s linked to the vanos sensor. but firstly, check the oil cap is the correct one and there should be an insert in it.

    Hi Meggy. You can install one to the x6 if you have a compatable head unit. If not, you can get aftermarket stereo systems which have camera inputs I’m not familiar with the 6 series, but it may be possible that the wiring look is already installed and just needs a camera fitting and enabled. stu

    Hello Michelle. someone is selling a pair on eBay… https://ebay.us/m/YoEja0 is this what you are looking for? Stu

    Welcome Paul. is it all the doors stay locked at the same time or a random one? my Porsche’s rear right started doing it and it turned out to be the door actuator. if it’s all at the same time every time, I would look at the relays as it’s giving a signal to all doors. Random 1 door will be getting the signal but failing to actuate

    Hi Jo. Try this? 1. Switch off the ignition 2. Unclip the sleeve of the selector lever 3. Pull the sleeve up over the selector level until the sleeve is inside out 4. Using the screwdriver from the tool kit, press the red lever while moving the selector lever to the desired position with the button pressed.

    Hi Paul, sorry. Got your name wrong! 😑 welcome and sorry to hear of the issues. surely there are new Indy’s in Leeds with software. if you can get across to hull, there is a good garage called bm tech near the deep. they are good and all ex bmw technicians. im based between hull and York.

    Putting the boxes in the garage and visiting Wetherspoons? …. Then using it as an excuse to miss the family event? …. No? Just me then! Haha

    Sounds like the sensor is giving false information… not showing a fault, just wrong data. change the sensors as well as the airbags. have a good week mate.. that will keep you busy!

    …. Mine’s just passed the MOT! 😂😂😂

    Hi Brandon. first things first. Change the wheel for the spare.. if it stops, it’s the wheel. Next, check the wheel alignment. Then check for uneven wear across the tyre. You might have bent a suspension component. Check to see if a spring has broken?

    https://ebay.us/m/3fUFeF there you go!
