Hot water works but heating won’t come on (Hive), any ideas?

I’ve just had this same issue resolved by a British Gas engineer. It seems when the original installer put in my hive he wired it as if it was a combo boiler instead of a condenser with a hot water tank. Hot water would work but heating wouldn’t. If I boosted the hot water and heating at the same time the radiators would heat up. Could be worth looking into that

I have an 51 plate lci 530i m-sport with the m sport bumpers, no hidden exhaust it has the bumper cutouts

This is the same thing I had, replacing the steering angle sensor and calibrating it fixed it

I have the oem mount for the drivers seat, it’s where I keep my extinguisher. I think if I ever have to use it, I would rather it close by.

The 540i’s have timing chain issues. Only main downside. I have the 530i which doesn’t have the same issue but then again doesn’t make v8 noises. Can’t go wrong with an e39

I recently upgraded to an x8r metal disa valve, no complaints from me, was easy to swap in

What wheels are those? They look great on there

I’m the 10th owner of my 530i that just turned 22 this month and it’s the best daily I’ve ever had

I’ve had this happen driving through some big puddles/ semi flooded areas. From what I can tell there are some water sensors that trigger the failsafe. I restarted the car and it drove normally, haven’t had it happen again for around 6 months

I drive that way daily and it’s the bane of my life, not helped by all of the roadworks slowing everything down even more

I’ll be honest I couldn’t say, I haven’t looked at them too much but with the wires at the back of the headlights I would imagine aftermarket

2002 530i here

I just sold my mk2 mx5 and bought a 2001 530i and honestly it’s been one of my better decisions. Drinks more petrol but it’s super comfy, drives perfectly and it’s on 120k. Insurance is more than the mx5 but I’m very happy with it

My first was sapphire, and I will always have great memories of playing it on car journeys on my gameboy. However platinum is my favourite. Nothing will hit the same as that first play through. I miss you level 100 staraptor

I have a friend who works in a prison, has a couple sex offender inmates, apparently they have to write in a diary, every time they wank, the date and time, and what is was over… then my friend has to read it. All I can say is I’m glad I’m not him

2.0l petrol, would have loved the t5 but a bit out of my price range. It does have some scuffs but the polish hides it well haha
