New battery did the job! Thanks for the help all!

Im hoping thats the same case for me Lance! New battery ordered yesterday so should turn up tomorrow, will let you know how it goes! Thanks for all the advices!

Thanks for all the responses! I havent got a volt meter but will try and source one tomorrow. I'll also try shorting it at the connector as well. Just got home and now no lights will light up at all. Apart from the interior light which is very dim and keeps turning on for 2 seconds then dying...

G'day, My problem child of a car is playing up (again!!) Was working fine yesterday, went to start it this morning and the dash lights light up, by doesnt turn over, doesnt make the normal clicking sound of a dead starter motor though (had the starter motor replaced 6 months ago). So, tried...

×××× SOLVED ×××× Hi guys, just a quick update. Found this on another bimmer forum, turns out it was because I had disconnected my battery a couple of weeks ago and the windows needed to be reset! Very stange. Here's the write up that I followed. Roof latches and unlatches as normal now. Thanks...

Ah I see! So I have to replace the latch motor? Or can I resync it? Cheers Mike.

Thank you very very much mate! Just had a 3 hour drive home and it would have been a much colder drive without your help! So much appreciate. Well im based down near Portsmouth/Southampton area, if you know of any members who could help let me know! Thanks again mate. Sam

Spot on! Cheers guys! Much appreciated. Heading there next weekend to pick up the pieces, so will post some photos afterwards! Cheers all Sam

Fantastic responces guys! Thank you very much! In which case I will see if I can take the whole roof, havent done it before but will ask the donor cars owner to pitch in and help :D I dont suppose theres a write up for the full roof replacement that anyones aware of? I'll start googling...

G' day all. I've had a search on the forum but havent found a topic on this yet. My roof got slashed last year and Ive repaired it with glue, has worked well but now in the position to replace it. So my question, can you remove just the outer material and replace it with another used one from...

Hey Stu, Thats a fantastic offer, Ive spoken to the person linked above and by the sounds of it I can take their bonnet and possibly bumper. However if that falls though I'll definately hit you up. Cheers Stu Oh and I live near Portsmouth (Very South Coast haha)

Ah sorry all! Have contacted Mike already. I didnt realise there was such a market for them, they very almost went in the bin 😂 was a last minute thought to list them on here tbh! Good hunting!
