Car Problems!!

[doodaa]

Does anyone know car scrap dealers for BMW where I could buy a spare wheel?

What specific model is it for?
I've a full set of 18inch alloys that would likely be cheaper than a spare from a scrappy.
18inch MV2 alloys off an e46 3 series 2 good tyres/ 2 shite.

EDIT; or is it a space saver you are after?

I want one spare and jack for a BMW X1 (2017)

Sorry mine are a different stud/bolt fitment. (5x120)
You need 5x112

Wondering has anyone encountered the same problem i'm having with my car at the minute.  Audi A4 (2015).  Sat Nav issue.  I start the car and the Nav loads up ok.  I can adjust it and even set a route etc.  3 or 4 minutes later it collapses and the screen just reads "Data are not enabled".

I've tried a hard reset of the MMI and I've also cleared some of the saved data from the settings menu but it's still happening.  It's not a major issue but it's annoying. Hoping to avoid having to bring it to Audi and them rob me blind.

Why does heat plug light (on dash - orange twirly one) stay on while driving?

Car is starting ok etc. and drive but this warning light just keeps flashing.

Is it a major issue?

Any ideas?

Just put some black insulation tape on the dash where the light is and horse on, any noises start coming on then ramp up volume on radio!

Yes, for about 2 years all my lights were flashing to the point I could hardly drive. Turned out they weren't flashing at all and I had high blood pressure which was making flashing things happen. I ended up having a massive stroke due to high blood pressure. So I'd definitely go see a doctor as there isn't even an orange twirly light anyway.

If you have a van with the tail lights having problems contacting the part of the bulb that it needs to contact, is it ok to pop a bit of tin foil in it to pack it out ? Would a single piece be ok across the 2 contact points or should they be seperate?

This topic could be a very useful,one for any of us who have a problem with a car and may get some valuable advice on how to solve their problem. Instead we get stupid silly posts like the ones above in reply to marty34 genuine query.

Strange 'sense of humour' alright on a car issue thread of all things.

Has anyone had experience with an Audi A4 giving the error message 'Adblue system fault. No restart in 650 miles'? Will give the garage a shout in the morning but just wondering what I have ahead of myself.

I had it before in a different car, it's just counting you down that you need to add AdBlue and your car won't start in 650 miles if you don't add it
