sadly I dont know its hostory, vehicle mileage is 202728

any thoughts on what live data to watch? gearbox history unknown

My 2005 TD6 auto, i put it through a carwash and a mile down the road lost drive it felt like a slopping clutch as in engine revs had no effect. I tried in D and R and in Manual mode also in Low range. All had the same result. after half an hour I tried it again and it drove another mile or so...

I have since replaced the ignition switch and removed by bypass in the fuse board and all is well. well got some other issues but those are seperate. thanks all again. re ignitions switches the LR part is the same as the BWM PN 6901961, which is usualy a fraction of the cost of the LR one.

And that has sorted it. Thank you all for your help. I now have bits to add to my spares shelf. I will order a new ignition switch

Sorry my bad It was 12.7v across fuse 53 9.2 across fuse 44

Fuse 53 gives the expected nominal 12v

will measure that aswell

Looks like we may be onto somthing, pulled fuse 44 and measuring across the fuse holder. top pin to the ground on the front aux socket (cig lighter) Initially 8v rose to 9.8v with the engine running. to me this is too low, presumably indicating a failing ignition switch? can I feed a good...

I had pulled and checked fuse 44 but not checked the voltage across it, presumable it should be a nominal 12? the error in Gap IID is voltage lower than 9.6 so i will look for a measurment above 9.6v

I am still batteling with this, I have replaced the +ve lead and therefore the yellow connector. the Battery is brand new The Airbag in the dash still is stuck on Gap IID somtimes gives an Airbag fault of 0x50 Supply less than 9.6v I pulled the fuse 44 the airbag light remained on gap didnt...

That seems a good test fir Tommorow. In good news the replacement positive battery lead advised today too.

good thinking, is that the one under the centre console if so where is it fed from?

The resistor is across the wires where the yellow connectors normally are. so it is only the resistor conected not the battery disconect. My hunch is that the resistor is doing its job and making it look like the battery disconnect is ok , however as the light in the dash remains on then there...

I put the resistor across the brown and brown wire red stripe wires
