If you're talking remote fob rather than immobiliser, the fobs need to be exactly the right ones.

I got through 3 in 2 months IIRC, before finally managing to get an AR35 which cured it. Not sure what the 5 speed one was fitted to the 24v common rail TDs that euroland got, when we had to make do with the 2.2dtiDid they BMWfy it thenIsn't it a ZF box on the straight 6 diseasalThe non 24v TD had an AR25.
Mind you, no wonder they go bang if you turn the boost up...
And catastrophic wear on the clutch plates and the brake bands...Apparently so :'(Car has previous form for gearbox speed sensor discrepancies as well but they weren't significant enough to be a priority... Live and learn.Autobox speed discrepancies - usually gives a P0730 Incorrect Ratio - needs to be fixed immediately, due to the catastrophic wear it causes...
The box hasn't gone bang to the point where it is making any noise but for it to slip and fall to shift, even intermittently, there's obviously enough debris in the hydraulic circuits to prevent the fluid getting to where it's supposed to.

Exactly. Just like BrexitASnd it has. For the third time in a row.I'm too old to care. If it's what the electorate think they want, then they'll get what they deserve.
Quite possibly blown the gearbox on the S Class :'(Oops.
I understand that there is a specific socket for the valve, but I used a 15mm 12 point socket. Make sure you support the 17mm nut on the ally pipe underneath it otherwise you'll shear the whole fitting off. (won't he Jamie )I declare the 5th amendment
Many would argue OOF is as reliable as a ZX81 rampack....Out of pure interst how much storage do you run in total and how much does the OOF take up.
I've lived abroad for more than 2 years a couple of times, and a call to the insurers when I got back to explain the circumstances sorted the NCB quickly and without hassle both times.Indeed, my "2nd" car insurance often has lapses of 2 or 3 years, always seems hassle free to get the full NCD reinstated if you have the renewal letters still.
