The 335i has randomly decided it will not start :(
I put the foot on the brake pedal and push the start button as normal but nothing happens, as if I don't have my foot on the brake pedal (electrics still go on)
I assume the brake switch is fine because I'm still only able to bring the car out of "P" when I have my foot on the brake pedal.
Battery was replaced in January and the car was driven normally until yesterday evening.
Anybody around with diagnostics kit able to help?
Anybody know a good BMW mechanic in Limerick?
Brendan Holmes in Mungret should be able to help you Peter. Not too far from you

Have you tried using both keys Peter ?Quote:

At least it's nice and clean and looks good even when it's not running :D
Aw man, hoping its something trivial and inexpensive.
Me too Ciars, would be a bad time for something expensive to go what with not working at the moment and all : /Quote:
