    Big Big Problem :(

    yeh ive tried pumping the pedal, and watched under the car while somebody pressed the pedal and it seems to move plenty enough.

    P38 2.5 Diesel (BMW) starter motor dead

    have you checked the earth strap from the block? Try a jump lead from your neg battery terminal and clip it to the body of the motor, then you know you have a good earth. I had the same problem, starter motor needed rebuilding, only cost me 30 quid though :)

    Double DIN ICE Q

    doesn't seem there is a double din available really without blanking the current radio slot and messing round with the right hand side of the fascia. Might get a flip out one for the standard slot. Where is the best place in the UK to get the ISO connector/adapter from?

    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please

    after reading so far, it sounds like you jumped it with a new battery which you had flattened so start by giving it a good slow charge on a charger and have it tested. if you have killed the battery the cold weather might have killed it completely.
