I am having an intermittent problem with my remote control. sometimes it fails to work and I have to resort to using the key to open the door. it usually happens after not using the car for a while, almost as though the battery in the remote is flat or not charging properly. It is the same for both keys.

any suggestions?

How old is the main car battery? ...And does it lose charge if stood for a few days?

If it does then there is probably a poor "earth" connection, poor battery or something draining the battery (like a dodgy fan for example)... HTH

      To runflat or not to runflat.

      Morning Richard If it is an option offered by the Manufacturer it isn't a Modification would be my argument My E70 runs non-run flat tyres due originally to availability the car was originally offered with either run flat and Non Run flat I also have a set of Winter wheels and tyres. Dave

      To runflat or not to runflat.

      I think I will go non run flat when its time to change. Purely for ride comfort. Its the only thing I can fault my G21 on, you know if you hit a bump or pot hole. My friend changed his to non run flats on the mini and it made so much difference to ride comfort, and with the state of the roads these days... I'll be honest I didn't think insurance would be bothered, if a tyre fits surely its fine? I know some of them were being asses a while back with people fitting winter tyres saying they had modified their cars.

      Xenon headlights to adaptive headlights

      Morning Callum Welcome to the Forum All things are possible you would of course need all the parts plus the ability to programme them to your car. The simplest would be like for like swap First do an Internet search to see if anyone else has done it if someone has it would make your life easier Good Luck Dave

      Xenon headlights to adaptive headlights

      Hello all , I own an E91 that has xenon headlights. Unfortunately the drivers side on is broken and in need of replacement. can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the xenon headlights to the adaptive xenon headlights, if so what would I need to achieve this or are they plug and play
