Re: Car not starting issue
Yes Brian it was exactly that, the inner wire was slightly exposed and was touching and occasionally and randomly causing fuse 10 to blow, i covered in leccy tape and it hasnt blown and the voltage seems to be holding on the battery, could I have fixed 2 issues in 1?

Car not starting issue
Is it at all possible that a fuse that kept blowing (10) which was due to a wire shorting out caused a battery drain? as I have fixed the fuse 10 issue and the battery seems to be holding a lot better? or am I getting excited that I may have killed 2 birds with one stone?

Hi Peeps, tried to search elsewhere but no joy. Recently serviced the car and had new alternator and battery changed also, and have noticed that when I turn the heat on the dials move up, so basically when I put the heat on the fuel level goes up, by a fraction.

Hi Guys,
my 325i mooredoor has all of a sudden developed an up an down idle, when I pull off car drives lovely stationary it does all that fluctuation, even cut out a few times, but starts up fine again. Could the MAF need replacing?
