it appears the led is not taking enough power and that power is causing overload somwhere else leading
to a override to switch off the air-con and engine fan and coolant warnings......

so is this the end of electrical modding??????

resetting using version star diagnose 7 (Windows 7?) doesn't help.
can't use leds, what a disappointment!
WTF!!! I'm worried, I was just considering changing the bulbs! Scarry~~

last year I ask them how much they would give for my old e60 and they say 140k which is 20k less than BMW
I dunno about vin's motors' pricing and stuff, so no comment on that.

Some fact that I'd like to get it straight: Those two shops C16 mentioned are in fact TWO DIFFERENT COMPANY.

One is called "Vincent Motors Company Limited" link
The other one is called "Vin's Motors Company Limited", which is the one Keith's friend and myself got our cars from My link


Vin's Motors moved their shop to another place on the same street few months ago, they used to be opposite to each other. So C16 please make sure which one you/your boss went with before sharing your experience and conclusion. Who knows, may be it's Vin's motors that gave you shit, 2nd car trading has always been a dirty business. That's why I only deal with people I know.

elgrand is in the same category with alphard right? so it's big big also.

today I saw an previa on my way back home and when I look into it I found it's a chauffeur driving the car. damn it.

different ppl different preference here.

better consult Ricky before changing, fixing a Porsche cost a lot more than a BMW if done at dealer!
