Spec wise, they must be 255/55/R19's and have the correct loadings for a D3.

They are for my newly acquired "Winter Wheels" (Thanks to "The Transformer" ).

Hi, My wife's 55 plate D3s suffered a total loss of power the other week on going round a tight left hand bend, the same thing has happened again this evening, causing her to end up on the other side of the round nearly hitting another car. All lights went of the dash and total loss of brakes and power steering !!

Any ideas / clues much appreciated

My battery light is on so, although I know not what I am doing I have just checked the voltage, engine on and off. It remains at 12v so I guess the alternator is screwed!

Anyway....I have just noticed this loose wire coming off the loom that goes to the FBH and wondering if anyone knows where it is supposed to be attached......????

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help, i have a GVIF interface unit that i'm selling as never fitted, but i don't know if it actually works and could do with testing it before hand.

Does anyone in the warwickshire area or nearby have one installed that could just swap the unit over to test it for me, and then i can confirm that it is all working etc

Over the years there has been a rise in the kidnapping of bank officials at their homes - they hold the wife for example whilst hubby goes to work as normal in the bank, fills up a big bag of cash and heads off to meet the kidnappers at a secluded spot and does the swap, gets his wife back and everyone is happy if not a bit traumatised.
