Oh dear,where did it all go wrong?......it all seems to be going down the same crappy road as the modern motor car..don't even sneeze in case a sensor or electrical component is going to have a hissy fit and **** everything up..
Then some half wit decides to use components that need programming to the vehicle or have the information input to it via the dealer specific equipment that downloadeds it from BMW....or audi,vw,mercedes etc for that matter,...high command back in Germany..
It gets even worse when some of he dealers try and tell you how wonderful all this equipment is,ok sometimes it can be bang on correct,but ive seen on quite a few occasions you may as well ask the dog....bark 4 times for crank sensor,bark 8 times for abs control relay....and then sometimes for absolute comedy you get....undocumented code?....It was possible to something with fuel injection and abs that never realy went that wrong....but it's very bad for economy and its much better to churn out this junk that's finished or unviable to fix it once its 4 years old,to ensure the sale of new vehicles.....this may seem a bit negative about certain German machinery....but my experiences with the French vehicles I wouldn't even be allowed to post as I may get into trouble...fuu...........d.....sh.......e..
