I can't say i've noticed any other things not working, the blowers still work at max speed and blow hot, the heated rear screen still works, cruise control works, folding mirrors work, auto wipers work etc etc just the damn AC!

Amazingly the FRM survived the swap! Codes cleared and battery registered. Unfortunately my aircon hasn't made a triumphant return and the compressor continues to not be kicking in as the RPM doesn't change upon hitting the button. I'm now leaning towards it being low on refrigerant (and the...

Changing my battery later today, getting ahead of the game by pre-ordering my FRM repair on eBay.

Lovely car and in the best colour! GLWS

I managed to find an Exide for a surprisingly good price? It all looks in order but I'll await your opinion.

I thought the same thing being Yuasa and all, it's a shame really. Have you got any battery recommendations assuming I needed a new one? I've been looking at Enduroline with their 5 year warranty, seems decent and well priced. https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/enduroline/096-agm/

It's all looking peachy in here water wise, but you are absolutely right about the voltage, I purchased bimmerlink and my battery charge is only very low, as indicated by the app and the iDrive screen whilst I sat inside which just the electronics on scanning the codes. All my codes appear...

Hi Chippie, thanks for this! I'll take a look this weekend. I've had zero issues so far today.

If Nick from 2010 doesn't respond I vote that we ban him from the forum for being an ungrateful swine!!

I bought my mum a Volvo V40 D4 to replace her Aygo, and it had an intermittent check engine light. It would come on every now and then, but there was never any noticeable change in how the car drove, so I'd just scan it and clear the fault code. It's probably been about a year since the light...

What's the plan with the MHD Adapter? I didn't realise they supported the N20, or is it possible to upload someone's remote tune with it?

Daily driver, around 7k miles per annum!

Drove home from the MOT with no advisories and blew the doors off a chavved-up 325i who tried it, just another win for the N54 over its malformed cousin, the N53.

It is, makes the cold start quieter. You can do a mod to keep it permanently open to impress all your neighbours 😎, think it's called the golf tee mod, something like that.
