Change the batteries !

Rechargeables only have a 7yr lifespan...

Thanks Dabsy, didn't know you could....is it easy?

It's fiddly if the battery is the soldered type but do-able if you have a solder iron !!

... And as Christian says, get the job posted in "How To..." section. ;)

      Mobile charging tray not working

      Hi Dave, thank you for your message and tips. Long story short the problem was actually with my phone. I went to my local garage and they placed their own mobile on the charging pad and it worked, unlike my phone. I tried the equivalent of control alt delete, switched the phone off and on and lo and behold it started working!! Cost: no charge. Thank you for trying to help. Regards Paul

      No boost and strange noise

      Hi Dave I was nervous before about having the DPF tampered with, even more so now. They removed the turbos last week and sent them off for refurb this week while they are on holiday. I'll speak to them on Monday and ask them not to mess with the DPF. I had the EGR and cooler replaced by a main dealer about 2 years / 8k miles ago and that's when the problems with burning oil smell in the cabin started. Last year I read online that a burning oil smell is not uncommon with the N47 due to oil leaks from the valve cover onto the exhaust. It's hard to see the edge of the valve cover because of the vacuum tanks and control devices but I had a look underneath and noticed the DPF was covered in oil. When I hooked up my scanner to bleed the fuel system I noticed codes relating to exhaust temp upstream of the cat. I replaced the sensor and all seemed well, then the EGR air plausibility codes started, then the charging pressure control and then limp mode. I'll make sure I take it for a decent run regularly. If the turbos last another 50,000 miles they'll probably outlive me. Cheers Jim
