Hi Keiron

you really need to get the error codes from the ECU to help find the problem - and yes i saw that your mates readers wouldnt work.....

apart from that just search through the forum

mines a diesel suffers the same problems as our BMW's so easy to diagnose

Just to ask what the problem was with yours?as mines also got the same engine,and now and again seems to have like a lul where it sticks at 40 or 50mph then picks up again?

most likely dodgy fuel pump,until you can get some diagnosis
