Anyone know if the electrical connections the same across all e85’s? Just wondering if they would be a direct replacement for my early (2004) 3.0i? Thoughts??

If issue 2 isn’t an ABS sensor, if I recall correctly it could be the yaw sensor that lives underneath the carpet in front of the passenger seat. Mine was the same unit as used in Mini’s so was £25 from eBay. But as above code read first. Good luck.

Hi I have an unwanted first aid kit box (box only) that came with the car. £20 including UK Delivery or Collection from Bedfordshire. Cheers

Mine is a similar age and has the same problem. I’ve never investigated, but probably should do. Is there a fan blowing air to the near side, but it’s just not hot?

Seems all sold out now. But if anyone has spares I’d be very interested. I only have a vanilla E85 but was looking to go with my mates E30 325i MTec 2, as we haven’t had a run out for ages.

Looks good to me Umfaan. I’ll PM the address and sort our funds. Many thanks for digging it out. Cheers

Sorry, my description wasn’t very clear. It’s this bit I’m after.

I’m after a bonnet latch for an early E85, the one in the centre, not the latter version with 2 on either side. Not the secondary safety hook, the locking latch that you pull from inside the cabin. Just in case anyone has one laying around. Cheers Rob

The aftermarket head unit mine came with has never looked right, so I’d like to return to OEM. Couple of questions. Mines an 04 3.0, do all pre facelift cars have a grey unit? I’m struggling to see the difference between grey and black. Although I’m pretty sure it’s grey. Do you have the...

Just to feedback on this, as I hate an open outcome. Checked both tensioner resistance’s as per the video above. They pointed to no problems. So ended up just using contact cleaner on the large under seat connector also the connector directly on the tensioner itself (both seats). Hooked it...

Great intel! I’ll give it a shot and report back. Many thanks.
