Gareth, Phil (brother) assured me it was checked as best you can in situ and nothing amiss especially in the area of the bellows so next option has to be replace the loom…. Won’t be cheap… At least I get family & friends rate 😃 Best regards, David😃

So by way of an update… Door trim removed and checked - Nothing obvious so replacement door trim ordered but on back order just now. Odd thing is that the window works fine so presume separate loom? Alos noticed that in addition to the mirror adjust & heat and the mirror indicator not working the remote door locking in the door also does not work… Here’s hoping the replacement loom sorts it! Updates to follow in due course Best regards, David👍

Hi, just an update on my own car. Crank position sensor was fitted last week and I have done a few hundred miles since and this seems to have fixed the problem I was having. So far so good. I had bought a sensor at £30 it wasnt a genuine one and a local German car specialist fitted it for me took a couple of hours. Total cost for labour was £150. Definitely worth trying if you are experiencing similar issues as mine.

Oops. I meant to put E10 as that's plain unleaded. I did discover by accident that if I filled up with E5 (super unleaded) I got more miles. 460 miles I think, was the record. I just have to work out if the extra miles are worth the extra cost.

Hi remove the pipe at the PCV then run the engine if there is an excessive amount of oil/gas coming out the diaphragm has failed, run it for at least five mins. is the MAF the original unit as if that is failing it will cause lot of your problems. Steve.
