Re: 4.8is exhaust on a 4.4i

Off the exhausts or off the back of the centre section?

4.8is exhaust on a 4.4i

Evening chaps. I’ve just picked myself up a pair of 4.8is exhausts (from centre box backwards) and found out that the pipes are different diameter sizes. I guess I should have posted on here before going charging in. I’m sure plenty of you have done this to yours. How did you get them to fit? Did yo...

Re: Recall Notice

So, how do I find out if my car is eligible for that recall? It’s a 2001 4.4.

Re: My PDC repair

OK, so here's an update. I bought a K-Line diagnostic cable and software from https://www.cable-shack.co.uk/products.php and ran INPA on my laptop. Well there's certainly a lot of error codes which I'll try and address on a different post but here are the PDC ones (I've run them through a Google Tra...

Re: My PDC repair

Thanks Henry. It is a brand new battery with a 5 year warranty so I guess the draining fault should be the thing to concentrate on. I'm going to leave certain fuses unplugged when I lock it up on a Sunday evening from now on to see if I can identify what's draining it. I'm going to start with fuses ...

Re: My PDC repair

So, that made no difference. The battery was flat as anything but disconnected the battery for an hour while I did some other bits and still the exact same problem :headbang:

Re: My PDC repair

If all 8 are ticking they should be fine....all I can suggest is disconnect the battery for 20 minutes....negative off first and back on last... Thanks Marti. That should be easy enough to try as the battery is flat again (a different post will be created on this soon). I only drive it at weekends ...

My PDC repair

Hi all. This weeks conundrum is the PDC failure on my E53. The symptoms are that when the PDC is switched on either by selecting reverse gear or pressing the PDC button, I get a constant tone for a second or two then a flashing PDC button and nothing else (I bought it knowing this). I have listened ...

What’s this symbol on the mk4 sat nav display?

Afternoon all.

I’ve recently updated my mk4 satnav to v32 and noticed it’s got a new symbol on the display. Can anyone tell me what it is please?

It looks like a Bluetooth symbol. Would that be right?

Thanks
