another failure here.......

ive got a March 06 320d with 42600 on the clock

about 4 weeks ago got the dreaded bong and the lights on the dash

codes cc-id 24 & 35

Visited a dealer last week who wanted £59 + VAT to diagnose the problem, despite me telling them the error lights & codes??

they couldnt book me in for 2 weeks so i said i would wait and have a ring around. just been googling the problem and have found the same fault with a lot of early e90's on 3 different forums.................

I spoke to an independant and he knew straight away when i described the lights/codes i was getting, he quoted about £540 to fix it but im after BMW doing the work, parts lasting less than 50k to my mind is not good

This is the 2nd major problem ive had with the car that ive had 18 months, previously 2 doorlocks failed and were eventually paid for under good will by BMW i had to pay the labour

Anyone advise the best way to approach a dealer for some goodwill with this...... apart from the puppy dog eyes

After 20+ years trouble free with Vauxhalls & VW's im seriously not impressed with my first "prestige marque"

The ultimate driving machine...............
