Can anyone recommend a decent auto electrician in Swindon?
Problem with the ABS on my Z3 that needs looking at.

Do you work in a salon or is it home visits only?  |

I like the way you dropped Z3 in there, as if it's some sort of supercar, when you could have just said a problem with your ABS.
Don't forget the shitty stick to help fight the birds off.

First thing I thought of as well, however I knew you would be able to put it in a more 'eloquent' way and you didn't disappoint! |

Why do they have to be an auto electrician? Couldn't any garage diagnose and fix the problem?
More to the point, what is the problem? I'd make sure the sensors are clean and connected properly before anything else.

Another vote for Autoelectix. They're a good bunch. |

Seems to be a common fault on a Z3 - ABS and traction warning lights coming on together intermittently. I've got the diagnostic codes but they don't help much, says it's the pump motor but according to the interweb it's just as likely to be the control unit of or the sensors. Thought a specialist would find and fix the real cause quicker and cheaper than a garage. Seeing as MOT is due I decided to leave it to the garage to sort it all out, plus they use Auto Electrix for this stuff anyway so they'll end up working on it. Had a number of recommendations for them - not just on here. |

I've got the same problem with my 325.
It is the sensor. Had it fixed a while ago and it was fine for months but it came back on this week.
I just ignore the fucking thing now. I'll wait til the next service and get it sorted then
