Re: rear door deadlocked

I had similar problems with mine. Had the plugs cleaned up but it still continued to play up.
Did a scan and had a lot of codes from where I had it in bits, cleared the codes and its now fine!!!

Re: Limp mode at 3000rpm

Had this happen once the other week. Up shifting at 3k having a bit of a race! Poured a can of BG44K in the tank, and I can't get it to do it again when trying to aggravate it to limp home.
Anyone got a link to the Mr mussel fix? Ta.

Re: Service Charges?

I decided to take it to the local garage in the next village he's an old boy very good at his job and helped me out with the E30 before and I'd like to have someone just check it over. I do it all myself but a stamp is a stamp and I guess its still worth 3k at the moment. Thanks for your input guys....
