Hi All,
           Just been delayed on the motorway due to an accident.Stop start progress for approx. 30 mins. Got going again and drove for about 5 miles at 60 mph. Arrived home and the engine management light came on as I parked.My Scangenie fault reader shows A 9.There is no A 9 listed on the technical information which came with the fault code reader.It won't clear from the memory.The engine starts well but won't rev. evenly over about 1500 rpm. when it runs very roughly and varies between 2000 and 2500 rpm on a steady throttle but won't rev. higher. Sounds as if it is missing badly. The temperature guage remained normal for the whole duration and the engine gave me no cause for concern at the time. Incidently ,the triangular ABS warning light is now on permanently which may be completely co-incidental.  It is a year 2000 car and has done 103,000 miles.I have used it for 5 years with no engine problems. Any ideas anyone?

hi ward,my e34 540i has 128,000 on the clock now, i am retired and am on a limited mileage policy with my insurer of 5000 per year,the car is a daily driver,but in 10yrs of ownership i have only ever had to add oil once between services at GRANTS in Wellington. the bulk of the yearly total is accrued when we are on our trips to and from the yorkshire dales and the lakes,i am long finished with "boy racing"but i do have the odd urge to put the pedal to the metal now and again - the car is still a superb driving machine so i would say generally speaking that i am an average driver in asmuch that i am always conscious of the limits of myself and the car ,the point of all this rambling being that i have never been plagued with excessive oil consumption in spite of ( high ) mileage, i hope you also are as fortunate as me . take it easy, dave in bristol.]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:35:57 +0000 http://www.bmwcarclubforum.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5420&PID=32584#32584 General Forum : Duxford http://www.bmwcarclubforum.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5525&PID=32583#32583 Author: hennabm

Thanks n3dsd that guide was fantastic. In a nutshell I followed the guide from the e30zone and it fixed the problem. I have a similar problem on the rear wash wiper, I am assuming that it will be a similar setup and a similar fix should work. ]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:21:18 +0000 http://www.bmwcarclubforum.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5338&PID=32582#32582 E30 : Alarm not working http://www.bmwcarclubforum.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5312&PID=32581#32581 Author: Cabrio

Depends where you are located as can suggest a fitter - although if your car is a good example although you dont want it stolen you dont want the wiring butchered for the sake of the alarm....there are various options - does your insurance company offer a discount for an alarm as they will also have a list of approved alarms/immobilisers....my E30 came with a cobra that seems good apart from locking the doors/arming itself automatically that annoys me as I have locked the keys in the car before now]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:15:57 +0000 http://www.bmwcarclubforum.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5312&PID=32581#32581 E30 : Alarm not working http://www.bmwcarclubforum.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5312&PID=32580#32580 Author: Philip H

I have given up on trying to fix the alarm.  I now need to get it replaced. I know nothing about car alarms, never had to fix or replace one before. Can anyone recommend an alarm manufacture to use? I have looked at the DIY alarms at Halfords and I have decided not to go that route, I want to have it fitted by someone who knows what they are doing.

I would like to keep the functionality of the old unit, such as remote arming, operating the central locking and closing of driver's window if possible.
