Hi all,

Im wondering if anyone can help me solve the steering lock fault on my bmw?

The steering wheel amber light has came on the dash and I can not get the car to get past the accessorie mode, you can still turn the wheels but can not get the cars ignition on.

I have a diagnosis tool to use the get rid of the lock but cant use it without the ignition being turned on? I have tried charging and bought a new battery but still no joy.

any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
Ryan

Hi Ryan

That's an odd one...although I'm sure someone else will know the root cause.

My thoughts are that it must be a faulty switch unit but without fitting expensive replacement parts I'm not sure what to suggest to diagnose it further.

Sorry not much help, hopefully someone else may have some ideas?

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning to you all, I have a 2014 X3 35d M sport, absolutely love it. However, I’d love to have a wireless charger (ideally MagSafe as I have an iPhone) in the centre cubby between the two seats. Of course I know I could use a lead (and indeed do currently), but in the interests of being extremely lazy I’d love to just be able to plonk it onto a fix in place wireless MagSafe pad. I've seen a few aliexpress specials to retro fit something by the cup holders, but that’s not what I’m after. What I’m after is as above, but I can’t find anything anywhere. Has anyone here done or seen something along those lines? Cheers Rob

      Failed turbo

      Morning William Welcome to the Forum That number sounds like a BMW Dealer quote ? Who diagnosed the fault ? What engine ? Remember BMW don't make Turbo Chargers they buy them in. If you haven't already talk to a Turbo specialist, well more than one so you get a good comparison on cost/warranty etc. Engine damage will occur if the turbine on the inlet disintegrates sending debris into the engine iif your lucky it will be the exhaust turbine thats gone Dave
