google it there is more than one . there is video s on them

Your description of the problem is not very clear. It seems as if your temp gauge does not work, or does not indicate the correct temperature. If you disconnect the wire from the sensor unit and put it to battery negative (ground), the gauge should move to the full hot position. If this does not happen the best chance is that the gauge does not work. If it does work, the sensor is faulty. In a very unlikely situation, the wire could be faulty..

ok this is gonna sound ridiculous, but if the wheels are locked, did you take off the handbrake?? also, the clutch might not be engaging properly.

they will be somthing like this make sure you get the right thickness think it be 16mm http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-T-PIECE-19x16x19-JOINT-WATER-HOSE-PIPE-CONNECTOR-WITH-6-CLIPS-LPG-AUTOGAS-/322585748947?hash=item4b1b9be5d3:g:Q9UAAOSwn-tZDjd5

throttle sensor fault. might be cleanable if removed. also could be a damaged idle valve, might be staying open this cal also give high revs. and tap and it will go down as its sticking. acceleration is the throttle sensor i may have blank spots. removing it and spraying in the switch breather hole and shake the cleaner around and turning it at the same time should clean the sensor. then shake and leave to drain out the cleaner. idle valve you will need to remove it and clean ti with some carb cleaner and a brush like toothbrush, clean it thorley out push the pin in and out to make sure its not sticking at same time spray it. then when clean leave to dry. then refit them. hope this helps

with any BMW they have their problems, one is the central locking/immobilizer, the central locking is linked into the immobilizer and vice versa, the immobilizer takes it signal to disarm from the central locking and the ignition key ring. (chip in the key) if one of these starts to play up it has loads of consequences this being one of them. they all need to work together for the system to work properly. you would need to read the alarm and immobiliser codes using an ob2 tool that can detect them, and find the fault some problems it can be the drivers door sensor in the lock this is the main door as its drivers side and it controls all other doors on the central locking. if the switch is worn in any of it movements the system will not know the door has been opened, this does not work on the interior light as that is a switch in the door frame. the door lock is lock unlock and deadlock with key with remote fob its also arm disarm alarm and immobiliser. i have seen in some models there is a sensor auto lock so when you walk away with the key the doors lock automatically all lease parts work together. any one having a problem can cause no signal to be sent to the others in the system to start engine .

You need to perform a engine control module fault code test.

problem with the window actuator assembly , will need to strip out to see the exact problem
