Re: www,bwchiptune.co.uk remaps offers for xdrivers

I'm intrigued by the re-map option discussed here. What does a re-map for the E53 4.4 cost and what benefits would i SEE? :)

Cheers

Heated washer jets??

I think I have heated washer jets, but they don't appear to be working. Frozen up every time in this cold weather.

Is there a check I can carry out to see if they are working?? :?

Re: Flat battery

I had a battery problem whilst on a camping holiday in Cornwall last year. I had the battery tested and it showed no faults, Still went flat in a couple of hours though. I ended up buying a new one and have had no problems since.
