HOW DO I GET MY SECURITY CODE OR RESET IT. NOW MY CAR'S SYSTEM IS OUT AND REQUESTS THIS CODE. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A THIRD PARTY SO IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACE THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR THE CODE. Read more

Hi.

Could the immobiliser produce an intermittent fault as it seems to be fine left after a long period and starting but if i'm returning to the car in an hour sometimes it doesnt start. Also if ive left the keys in the ignition (engine off) say in a layby it produces a non start....

Not sure if the make of car is relevant. My husband will be out of action due to illness for a non-specified length of time and I'm wondering what to do about his car. At the moment I'm taking it for a drive every couple of weeks (a round trip of about 15 miles on an A road) making sure that I do a few of those miles at a reasonably high speed - there is no rev counter.

Is this too much, not enough or what? Any advice appreciated. Read more

I had a gut feeling just starting it and running for a few minutes wouldn't do. Will try to do the odd longer run sometimes. Will look for moisture crystals. Thank you both x

I've recently had a problem with my rearstat which resulted in my battery going flat. I've had the rearstat replaced but now I can't open the car with my key fob. Does anyone know what the solution is please? Read more

Hi all,

Well I had intended to change both cars in the next year, but swmbo has decreed that spare money must be spent on the house. So what was going to be a reliable petrol MPV for her and an economical but fun commuter for me now has to serve both of our purposes.... Read more

How many manufacturers offer a sound system with full ipod connectivity? That is, the ipod screen or tracks shown on a car screen and full remote control from the steering wheel audio controls. Read more

Just read about a fully integrated system that is to be offered by BMW. It displays the iPod screen on the cars information screen as well as all the normal remote control functions.

I like the look of the new model and it seems good value. Can anyone here offer some opinions or advice?

Thanks... Read more

Highly recommend them, I have a C3 Picasso Exclusive with the 1.6Hdi engine, it has just covered 18000 km's in 11 months, I regularly achieve 58mpg with mixed motoring here in Spain. This is true mixed motoring since we live in the hills (locals call them mountains!) and do not drive on the flat all the time. Build quality is excellent to date with no problems, my one criticism is the 17" wheels with low profile tyres that make speed humps a trifle hard, but I could not get the 110 engine here with the smaller wheels. The dealers here are imaginative, offering both trade in and scrappage to seal the deal. My one concern is the FAP system, but to date no problems.

Its been a few years since I've bought a BMW, mainly due to the horrific and ugly designs (think X6 etc) they have been churning out over the last 5 years or so, but I have to say I could be tempted back by one of these:
