....apart from dead bodies and dirty crotchless knickers!

Yes, me again with the broken bimmer! Well.... after two weeks and almost £2k spent(£200 shy), its almost fully fixed (I'll do a seperate thread on the joys i've had once it's all done)

I've just had my head in the boot replacing yet another module and wondered.... when you remove the two side panels, what is supposed to fit in the recesses in the black moulded plastic covers.... there are several rectangular holes which look like they house something, not sure what though?

Any ideas people

Tim

I'll side with you on that - the one I've just bought is recovering from the same issue :/

Isn't there an LCI drain retro to resolve the potential issue?

That's sealed that one up then... I was thinking of maybe 'bagging' (no Keith Lemon pun intended) my modules in addition to removing the butterfly valves

No worries, sometimes things are right under your nose, as they say!
