[QUOTE="K.K., post: 402009, member: 17619"] yup, had a choice between refurbished unit (no time to source) and brand new units. was told by Merc Craft ppl that even "new" unit from BMW is actually recond/refurbished unit and cost about the same as 100% new Bosch? the car had only done 58K km over the past 5 yrs and the alternator already konk-ed. since im not planning to sell the car anytime soon might as well go for the Bosch unit. tks bro for the DIY pm regarding the OBD Light thingy. not very well versed in electronics, so not sure how to mod the resistor pack thingy u mentioned. will let it lit up every now and then for now, hehe. tks anyways! scary indeed bro, but i must thank my lucky stars for on both occasions, i was not stranded in awkward places (even though KLIA is, but stil i managed to limp to the McD-armed Petronas station :o). hope nothing else is screwing up anytime soon.
