I posted a couple of weeks ago that my car was making a whining noise when at 60. It was the diff and my local garage has at c180 for breaking. After they fitted it the ABS (sensor) on the diff was destroyed as it was seized up.
When this was not there the car was drivable but the ABS light was on and the car would not shift gears (stayed in 1st)
Bought a new one from the dealers and though it would be the end of my problems. Now the car starts on 2nd or maybe 3rd and doesn't change up or down. Initially we thought that the car was just gutless and got a MAF from ECP on "loan".
My garage can't connect his Snap-ON computer to the ECU so I guess I need a STAR machine in Wiltshire. Without connecting though anyone has any ideas what could it be though. This morning it sound like it started on 1st and shifted to 2nd I don't think it has moved. It drives almost like in limp mode.
To make matters worse my mates have been lending their cars to get to work and coincidentally they all have been BMW. I am almost converted
