BMW 118d Series M Sport '57' [143] Not starting
« on: February 06, 2012, 02:01:27 pm »
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with BMW's on here. The BMW we have won't start today after being left on the drive since saturday.. The C Class, Leon and Golf all are fine so don't know whats up with this.. Worse thing is the warranty has just expired last week  :sad1:

Does the sign on the dash mean theres a fault with the glow plugs? any quick fix on getting her started?

Maybe the battery is a bit weak and needs a charge?

Hope its a easy fix mate.

I was going to get the jump leads onto it but its face down on the drive and cant squeeze another car next to it as its parked awkwardly after struggling to get it in the drive in the arctic conditions on saturday. The headlights, climate, Radio and dash are all lit up so i'm thinking it might be something else.. The AA are going to come out soon to have a look at it.. just wanted to see if i could find out what the problem could be. Hmmmmmpphhh!

Cheers mate, i hope it is too!
