can you please elaborate what this does as I fear my sender unit might be failing. Got both oil lights as well as zero pressure momentarily while sitting in traffic and afterwards back to normal. No unusual noises or symptoms.

Im having an issue where the remote key arma/disarms the car (red light in dash, interior lights etc) but no sound in the door locks. They lock fine manually but only individually. I tried wiggling the key around to free it up but no result. Should I start by changing the relay?

Theres a video guide on it here, you basically have to peel off the old adhesive and put new one in. The leather is heavy and will always sag eventually

Im not sure about this but the branding stamp is opposite the driver on the LHD and RHD windshields. Thats the only difference I know other than the model specific one regarding the window aerial.

Issue started after car was sitting unused for a few months. Replaced battery, center locks starting acting up and now dont work anymore. Car locks fine manually, both windows dip when opening the door. I replaced the drivers door lock recently with a new solenoid. What could be the issue? I’m...

They dont offer those small rods the last time I checked. I did buy stuff from them before and recommended it here several times.

anyone know the part number for the rubber dust cap that goes on top of the bearing? I heard about a BMW motorcycle one but unsure if its for this or the wishbone ball joints.

I remember its the same part as the Lancia Kappa, not that it helps since its effectively just as rare.

Check with Roland if he still does the service otherwise there are some others that can do the job. Roland did the switches on my GS 2 years ago and they’re holding up great.

The QP6 grew in size to make space for the Ghibli. Now that saloons arent as popular as SUVs they’re going to make it smaller again along the lines of the Audi A7 and Merc CLS.

Its been done before in the car industry, the DB7 and XKR immediately come to mind. In fact its still being done today, the new Nissan Z is a reskinned 370Z (2009) which is an evolution of the 350Z (2003).

Not too sure about that, the QP4 has mcpherson all around while the 3200 moved to double wishbone. It could possibly be an evolution but without looking at them side by side can never be sure. Interesting point is that the fuel door is in almost the same relative location, thats usually one of...

The wheel fits but I’m not sure about the airbag, you might have to stay with your original one.

First check if the car detects whether the door is open or not, if it doesn’t sense that then its the door lock solenoid is shot.

I prefer the svelteness of the Deauville over the blocky 80s styling of the QP III, wish some of that carried over.
