For some reason it wasnt switching off to the second stage when he was doing it.

I got it turned off, but it kept hitting a limiter at 6500rpm!

Old dears 330d shit itself on the rolling road and brought up a few warning lights... IIRC, once you re-start the car and go over 20mph it self tests itself and sorts it all out.


Cheers,

What we talking? E46? E90/2/3?

IIRC you should just need to hold the button down for 5secs to enter the "second stage" to disable it completely.

It was a different one Maria, was ClioSport day today and a couple of non-Clios run, run was aborted anyway as it was detting - i thought you wrote it down for Rindy last time

Mike C - was a E46
