Re: DSC 4x4 inactive
Hi All,
Finally sorted out DSC inactive issue. As Buster advised earlier in the thread it was found to be an issue with the actuator on the transfer case. A local indy dismantled the actuator and found a plastic gearing mangled. A new actuator was sourced from Germany and fitted today. All ok at ...

Re: Tyre pressures on 19's
Hi,
32 is the correct figure all round. I have a slow puncture so have to pump it up about every 2 weeks. The light comes on in the car re tyres at about 25. Have taken the tyre for inspection but they couldnt find anything wrong.
Hope this is of help

Hi Guys and Gals,
As the subject above says I keep getting the DSC 4x4 inactive lights on and message on the dash. If I drive nicely it doesnt come on but if I push it a bit ie getting out of a junction or overtaking then it comes on. Has anybody experienced similar and what did you do to overcome ...

Hi X5Sport,
I am intrigued to where you are based, ie Eastern Flatlands of Uk. I am in Norfolk on the border with Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. Would I be right in thinking we are in the same area.

Hi all,

Hi,
The wife has told me it was white/grey smoke, and I tend to let it warm up for 5 minutes before clearing it but only to 3000 -3500 revs
