Hi Guys
I have owned this 2016 ex police F15 30d for about 6 months.
I purchased it as a none runner the car had been driven into a river
and the water went into the air in take and locked the engine.
I removed the head cleaned the bores enough with 400 wet and dry
and loads of WD40 until i was able to turn the engine from the fly wheel.
then i glaze bust all cylinders with a glaze buster until all the rust was
removed. Rebuilt the cylinder head cleaning all the valves, replaced
the valves seals. After I put it all back together and replaced to starter
it started and run as sweet as a nut 🙂 until today, for some strange
reason while in traffic the engine turned off the gearbox went into
park and it would not start,,, the message on the dash said,
"starter or ignition fault engine can not be started contact BMW"
has this happened to anyone here? my diagnostic is showing 1
fault being that 1 glow plug is not the same as the rest!
I have since put a booster jumper pack on the jump terminals under the bonnet
and it started with the message "batteries discharged start engine"
but the batteries are both fully charged!
any ideas? Im confused but do not want to have it happen again.
since starting it with the booster its been as it was before this happened.
strange very strange. please any suggestions would be gratefully received.
thank you
