    How to remove roof rack

    Thank you. The key vertical did the job and I had already primed with wd40 two days ago. Came apart perfectly. And fits the new car width without adjustment.

    How to remove roof rack

    Thank you Bounder. Amazing. Aguri! I couldn't figure that out from the lettering. I will try the procedure you suggest in the morning. I presume that the rail comes off, but the clamp to the roof bars remains, which are then clamped with the hex.

    2009 Tourer. Clunky when reversing. Engine mounts?

    I am hoping so, though the dreaded DMF could be possibly causing the problem as identified by Nath above Though it is only reverse, particularly when I load it up hill reversing. So far forward changes seem smooth enough.

    2009 Tourer. Clunky when reversing. Engine mounts?

    I don't believe so, though it was Stage 1 tuned in 2016 before my ownership, which I believe can add to stress on the clutch. Still feeling that it is engine/gearbox movement rather than the clutch itself.

    2009 Tourer. Clunky when reversing. Engine mounts?

    My new (to me, 126k) 2009 2.2 Tourer is clunky when reversing uphill. I guess it must be the engine /gearbox mounts? Any idea of difficulty and cost or replacing?

    Dashboard strange message won't clear

    I have tried brief battery disconnect, say 1 minute, with no effect. Would a longer disconnect have more chance of clearing the screen?

    Dashboard strange message won't clear

    Everything is frozen. The touch screen and all the wheels, ups and downs and sideways, knobs and buttons. What I am asking is how to open up the dashboard and pull out the screen to check the wiring connections to the ECU behind. Any suggestions or YouTube videos?

    Dashboard strange message won't clear

    Screen does not allow any touch access. And the external cursor and navigation controls and all the buttons dont react. It is frozen apart from the switch to manual climate screen.

    Dashboard strange message won't clear

    The touchscreen on my 2006 estate has a warning message that will not clear (see screenshot). It runs through some sort of engine testing when the engine starts, but when all the boxes change from red to green if freezes and just stays there. There are buttons for stopping, but nothing works...

    Setting Time after battery reconnection

    2006 Diesel Tourer I have Power Tailgate Fault which requires battery reconnection every week or so (no idea where the fault is). Previously the dashboard clock automatically reset itself, I presume via the GPS maps. Now the clock no longer updates and I have tried every way to adjust it...

    Tailgate again!

    I have been battery resetting for nearly a year with PTG error. A real pain climbing in the back as you need to have the boot open to get it to reset I have found. It was infrequent, but now getting painful every day after two or three openings. I have wd40 sprayed all the mechanism around...

    Interior light not working. How to access?

    My front interior lights are not working. Neither on door opening or manual switch on or the reading lights. The rear automatic roof light is working normally. I looked in the manual and fuse 6 in the interior box seems to be the one. I removed it and checked and the rear light went on and...

    Where did you find the broken wire? Was the tailgate still occasionally working ok before you fixed it?
