I had my mileage reset by a dodgy yoof for £50.

He had never been asked to INCREASE a mileage by 100,000

The thread is on here somewhere.

I would take the instrument cluster off and look at the circuit board for damage and confirm that the coding plug is secure. Check the wires and plugs for any damage.

Q1. Which car are you talking about (Z1 or M Roadster)?
Q2. When did it start doing this?
Q3. Had you done anything recently that could have prompted it? New battery. New diff.

You don't have to run the engine to see a fuel leak. With the door open and your hand on the key, turn the key to position 2 (all lights on dash), but don't start. At the same time look under the car. You should be able to see where the leak is. Turn key off when you see the leak. Have a fire exting...

I wouldn't be too concerned about the cooling effect of the loop. Have you ever felt any heat in the pipe? - I haven't.

I doubt there would be any serious problems if you just bypassed the loop, especially in a temperate climate. If you were in the Gulf, it would be a different matter.

Would your initial observation have something to do with the amount of air being forced in ? I just watched a similar demonstration on Wheeler Dealers (s14 ep8) where Ant showed the flow on a 3 into 1 collector, he placed tissue over two inlets, he used compressed air at a low flow in one inlet and...

I've solved the problem with more learning. What you can see on the video is inertia scavenging. Inertia scavenging only works on systems with little or no back pressure (as you said). Wave scavenging is the one to go for. The wave can't be seen, but is generated when the exhaust valve opens. The po...

pingu

The video shows the dilemma. I can see how it works when the system has very little back pressure, but how does it work on a full system?

Can only recommend what I use, as I found out the same in that there were many diff rent opinions!

I wouldn't be too worried. Pilkington and other windscreen manufacturers have the moulds for every vehicle made by a major manufacturer since the 60s. The ones that will be difficult to get hold of will be kit cars.

Sorry to read about the small c. I'm glad that you are out and about.

I hope that your treatment goes well.

I've got my headers off at the moment, and I feel your pain.

At one point, I thought that the only way to get them off was to take the engine out

Did you measure yours before you fitted them and compare them to the originals?

pingu

Hunting is usually an air leak. Strange that it only happens when you are reversing.

It could be that you are driving so slowly. Does it happen when you try to crawl along at very low speed, especially uphill?

pingu

Its not Voltage that fries electronics its amps. The car will take voltage up to around 14-15v it seems (not that you would ever do that). When using progman for example it draws amps. If this draw discharges the battery enough (below the specified 13V) while coding is in progress, It causes proble...

pingu

As mentioned, I will be using progman and maybe DIS/TIS, part of the inpa package. When using these diagnostic tools- especially when re programing it seems that a very steady external 13V supply must be used, as stated in the BMW manuals that have come with the software. Can you send us a link to ...

This makes the alarm go off. My symptoms (and I think the OP's) were that the alarm couldn't be switched off, or the doors unlocked on the fob.

Your alarm is going off, but your siren isn't sounding. That's why the hazards are flashing. I had the same problem.
