Cheap & nasty OE rear wiper arm

I had 2 or 3 for my 02 e53 and the one that did the best job was one from the bay at about £7.
It cleared all but the last 2 inches at the top end of the blade but the rubber went hard in a few months so i gave up then lol.

Fire it up with a bit of sniff or brake cleaner should get the diesel through quicker.

X5 F15- intermittent Chassis Restriction Fault

Hope you fitted any new "O"rings that came with the bags.
Re-using them can leak.

2011 X1 towbar wiring problem.

As said above.
You need the module to plug it into.
It cuts the reverse sensors and that kind of thing when you plug a trailer in.
Also stops errors for bulbs cleaver little box.

A once a month trip of 24 miles ew keeps the dpf happy and if i don't do that run and levels are looking high i will request a regen d...

Ctek charger

Switch cleaner will sort the mode button out.
Hot air gun on the black plastic and it will peel back then a squirt of cleaner and play around with the little button.
Warm it again and stick it back down.
Not sure if it will fix the red light but nothing to lose.

Where is everybody?

I still look-in every morning but not tinkering that much any more just the odd oil/filter sort of thing.
I did the 9" touch screen job but only as mine came with a win ce copy of the original and it was playing up.
Yes the screen would drive you mad with dust and finger marks lol.

2010 E70 X5 3.0d - 'Chuffin' Injector

Could well be a dodgy recon injector.
Personally i won't buy from Euro for the same reason had a few dodgy parts from them.
Ok they swapped them but what a pain you don't need changing the thing twice.
But could be wrong with the injector.
