Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    hi all. I drive a 320d and the two rear warning lights have come on (red) on the dash. The left indicator is also flashing "fast" and the bulb is out. Is this just a case of replacing the bulbs or does it indicate an electrical problem do you know?

    thanks.

    Sounds just like a bulb replacement and possibly a bad earth somewhere in the lighting system, probably at the light fitting itself. Replace the dodgy bulb and see how you get on.

    yep, indicators flashing fast means one or more bulbs are out. get the changed ASAP as other road users wont know if your indicating or not :mad:

    in regards to the warning lights - what warning lights are lighting up? theres loads on the BMW dash, so can you be a bit more specific as to which ones?

    The two that are on are the rear red lights at the rear of the car....2003 model.

    Only the left one is bust though, i'll change the bulbs and see how I get on NCT coming up in a week :)
