Ah I had a good run, so I'm probably due some misery now

Just got the call back, it's the starter motor, 400 for a new one fitted. Does it sound about right?

Did you check the battery voltage

Sorted Pete?

Not yet

Used my breakdown cover to get towed to Alpina motor works, took 3 people about an hour to push the car uphill out the gate of the house, the truck couldn't drive in because of low hanging trees... Anyway... Eventually got it on the truck and into the garage and waiting on a call back for the diagnosis...

Obligatory tow truck pic...



At least it's nice and clean and looks good even when it's not running

Well it's a small world Peter because that's my dad driving the recovery truck

No way! Nicest man in Ireland, someone else would've said feck it and took off but he didn't want to leave me stuck and was pushing the car with me to within an inch of his life! Respect

sorry to hear that, just pm'd you

Most common reason for limp mode on the N54 engines are the vanos solenoids, but I replaced both a few months ago (check thread or service history for exact date), second most common (according to forums anyway) is the charge pipe, so hopefully it's that, would be a good opportunity to upgrade it if so get the codes read though anyway ofcourse to find out for sure, the N54 is incredibly popular in America and there's a wealth of information online, check out N54tech.com for some reading if you have some free time, everything from technical help to crazy 600bhp+ modified N54s
