I have one of the above it worked great on my omega and the wife's Nissan. But when I plug it into my BMW x3 it powers up but won't connect. I take it that means it won't work or can I get some kind of a adapter.

Ask her if she still has the receipt. If it's under two years old just take it back to screwfix and get a new one.

All responses appriecated but still cant figure out why it goes away when I replace the brakes. Surely if a Bush or wheel bearing it would be there all the time.

Cant get to the bottom of this one. Any ideas would be a great help.
Story so far. When i bought the car the car had a steering wheel shake/wobble when you applied the brakes softly. If you jumped on them no problems. I had all four replaced with after market onces(disks and pads). Issue went away so i thought warped disc. All good for about 8 months then the issue started to come back. I wondered if i had a sticking caplier so i had both front caplipers rebuilt but the problem didnt go away so i replaced both front discs and pads with bmw ones. Issue went away again. That was about 6 months ago the issue is starting to come back again.Total confused. Tyres are new pirelli all round wheel perfectly balanced. I cannot reproduce this problem on demand it just seems to do it when it wants to.

Total confused now. Went out this morning and I thought I would give it a try. I moved the selector switch a couple of times and all of a sudden the drivers side started working again.

First thing I did was check the switch was in the right position.
All the functions have just stopped working. I need to find a way of checking the mirror switches to see if the switches are faulty or it's the mirror motors have died

I bought a bmw x3 with electric everything 
anyway i knew when i bought it the drivers side mirror would not tilt or fold away. That didnt bother me as the passenger side one did , also the passenger one tilted down when put in reverse. That has now stopped working as well. The windows on both sides still work off the drivers switch. Could somebody tell me is they a way of testing the wireing to the mirrors without have to strip the door down. There is only one fuse so i cant see it being that as 1 was workkng.
I do have a multi meter but dont really know how to use it, so would need to know what to switch it to and what i would expect ghe results to be.
I spoke to local garage and they want £78 a hour to try and identify whats wrong.
Any help would be appreciate.

« on: 12 January 2019, 18:43:31 »Why does Paul want a foot pump rather than a compressor?
Maybe he's trying to shift some Christmas flab?
I prefer the foot pump as I have never found a compressor one accurate enough.
