Morning Gurtan Welcome to the Forum Normally Lambda faults will have an effect on mixture as the DME not getting the signals will revert to a basic fuel map so the car remains driveable. I would check the Throttle Body, fuel rail pressure and injectors. Dave

Morning Steven Welcome to the Forum If you have received a recall letter I would follow it up with your nearest Dealer and explain what has happened, make sure they know it was a Diagnostic by the RAC that points to the FRM. Also check onine for any information that may point to others having a similar issue, I suspect your not alone. Dave

Morning Duncan It may be that your keys need re-syncing with the car, check Google/Youtube for methods Fingers crossed that will cure it Dave

Thats a new one Paul Not sure if you can take it apart I guess it depends on Cost ££ if a new one is horrendous it must be worth taking it off and seeing what you can do. Tried WD40 Dave

Morning Duncan Welcome to the Forum Dave

Hi Norman So there is no power at the connectors? From what I have read there is a fuse but it controls both sides so I would check the earth point for that side and the bulbs and holders. Try swapping bulbs side to side perhaps? Dave

Welcome to the Forum David Afraid I have no experience with MHEV vehicles yet so can't be of much help, what have BMW to say? Dave

I am not aware of any column shift BMW model unless it has been adapted for a driver with a disability? Or do you means paddle shift on the steering wheel? Dave

Morning Norman Welcome to the Forum Checked the bulbs, and connector? Dave

Morning Michelle Welcome to the Forum BMW have a fine mesh filter/screen around the bottom of the pump if a screen wash has been used that doesn't have a fungicide added a jelly like mess clogs the mesh and stops the washers working. If you cant do it yourself you need a friend who can remove the pump and either change the filter or simply wash it under the tap, also check that the washer reservoir is cleaned out as the sticky stuff may be floating around in there. Take a look at www.realoem.com either look for your model or put the last 7 digits of your Vin onto the search box it will bring up your model. You will find small exploded drawings that will help see where stuff fits. Dave

Morning Johnathon Welcome to the Forum This used to come up often with the E53 normally it was only with the Halogen Lamps but I thought the E70 were all either Xenon or Bi Xenon? Check the light units are original, there have been people who have swapped pre-LCI for LCI lamps not realising you need to upgrade the wiring. Check the actual lamp you could upgrade to Osram Night Breaker I have read lots of good reports. I would start by checking all wiring pay attention to the earth, check realoem.com for part numbers to make sure yours are correct for your car. Dave

Morning Mark Are you in Sport Mode? If driving normally are all changes OK? Are all changes OK in manual mode? When was the box last serviced? Dave

Morning Paul First do you have a tow bar fitted ? If you do then first check the connections at the trailer plug, check the PDC controller (there is a connector black I think that lets the control system know the trailer is connected) The last is a check on the LCM for faults so a code read will be required, while reading the fault codes you could turn off the trailer light check. Dave

Morning John Look at realoem.com they call it an "oddments tray" cant see any thing that is specific as a glasses holder. It would be a straight swap for your ashtray and give more room inside. For an insert maybe find a vacuum formed insert or chat up someone with a 3d printer Happy New Year Dave

Glad your back safe and sound Stu bet you all need a holiday now 🤣 Dave

Welcome to the Forum Mark Dave

Hi Paulo Says missing codec not sure if it's the upload or my laptop Dave

Hi John Welcome to the Forum Like many manufacturer Main Dealers if it isn't in the manual it can;t be done !! I have read that if you have the voice command button on the steering wheel and telephone prep in place then all you need is the voice command module and the cable harness Check www.realoem.com (a BMW online parts list), put the last 7 digits of your Vin in the search box then check the relevant section for what is required Good luck Dave

Morning Paulo Welcome to the Forum The fact that faults cannot be cleared indicates that there is a problem, you need a diagnostic scan by a garage or someone with a BMW capable diagnostic reader Can't see your video so can't comment, I would look for a BMW specialist locally if you don't want to use BMW (the specialist will be about half the cost) Happy New Year Dave

Morning Chris Happy New Year and Welcome to the Forum Beauty as they say is in the eyes of the beholder so your car should please you first others second Check www.realoem.com for part numbers then you can be sure if they will fit Enjoy your Beemer Dave

Happy New Year Paul Mine were an own goal !! the rear lights were faded and cloudy polished them a couple of times but still didn't look good, So I brought new replacements fitted them mid year, first winter couldn't work out where the water was coming from in the boot. Finally worked it back to the rear clusters and sealed them up nothing since. I have read a lot of posts on other websites where the same thing has happened. Dave

Morning Matt Water isn't the friend of electrical equipment or engines. If your car ingested water into the inlet side it could be laying in the intercooler. I woul find a BMW Specialist or trusted Independent who has a BMW capable diagnostic program. They will be able to check there are no sensor or control unit issues, make sure the intercooler is clear so your not sucking more water in. Fingers Crossed Dave

Welcome to the Forum Neil Enjoy your car 😁 Dave

It seems the B&W system is a Speaker system and Amp designed for each BMW Model the ability of the system to play digital files will be helped/restricted by the OEM Headunit and CD/DVD Player Happy New Year Dave

Seasons Greetings and Welcome Ashley First carefully back track the work done just in case something was dislodged or unplugged. Check fuses and relays then clear all codes make sure the battery is fully charged and re-scan see if the codes clear I thought starting the New Year with a headache was supposed to be caused by drink 😂 Good Luck Dave
