Want to get my car in order for summer . Below are some issues that I am not sure how to solve. Any advice much appreciated . 03 plate 3L
My tyre pressure red light exclaimation light has come on again, dealer reset it a few weeks ago and said it’s just tire pressure .. why does it do this and what is the permanent fix ?
I have powered wing mirrors - the button works & they fold in & out as they should - but the button for adjusting the mirror glass doesn’t work they don’t move at all.... what could this be? Also I read the heated mirrors are on all the time but mine are stone cold ... could it be I don’t have heated mirrors even though they are electric powered ? Is it easy to fit heated mirrors as a retro fit .
My left window doesn’t go down via the passenger door, but does work fine using the drivers buttons / what does this sound like the problem is ?
My left door handle is stiff and hard to open from the outside ... what should I apply to loosen it up ?
My horn doesn’t work - previous owner snapped a bit of the wiring look when changing wheels - I have a new loom but how do I take the wheel/or cover off to replace this part ?
My brake pad sensor light is on - previous owner assured that brake pads are fine - just he snapped a sensor when changing the wheels over . How do I know which wheel it is that is causing the light to come on ? I have a new sensor to fit, just not sure how to do it .
My seat occupancy light is on - again this is because it has had E46 M seats put in it - I’m told to play with the yellow block under the seat to make sure it’s right but so far the light is still on... any ideas ?
My ashtray is stuck wide open - it’s as if the spring is broke or something — how easy is it to get this part out and try repair ?
My handbrake isn’t very good... I notice it rolls back quite a lot on a hill & I need to leave in gear ... does it just need tightening ?
My headlights are foggy - what’s the best thing to sort this out ? Will a headlight kit now do anything ? I have 6000k hid xenons fitted .
I’m a newbie - does it need servicing every year or just wait for the bmw light to come on? I say this because I only do about 2-3000 miles a year . What’s the difference between inspection 1 & 2 and how do I know which one I need this time round ?
My drivers fog light is smashed - is it east replace them myself ?
It has E46 M electric sports seats fitted - I want heated seats .... I know the 03 has the loom to add heated seats and I can buy a new panel facia for the dash - but will it now not require a loom kit for a E46 seat? What’s the best way for me to retro fit ? I don’t want to get new seats .
Any help much appreciated
Thanks
