Re: Trans failsafe Prog
A relatively cheap fix for me, it might be worth checking for any error codes for your gearbox if you have INPA: https://thealpinaregister.com/forums/vi ... start=2070

Re: What did you do in your ALPINA today?
The B10 came up with Trans Failsafe Prog so limped home, this could be expensive :( Well it did indeed turn out to be the electrical, got a refurbed alternator off eBay for £144. What a messy job it is replacing one on the B10 having to drain the coolant! 550 miles later and no TRANs.FAILSAFE warni...

Re: B10 Touring failing to proceed
£90 to not fill up with petrol.....
I run mine pretty low and the wife always moans at me, maybe this will frighten me to do it a bit quicker in future!

Re: What did you do in your ALPINA today?
Agreed Dave, I'm wondering if the regulator which I think is integral to the water cooled alternator might be starting to fail and spiking the voltagegreenelekta wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 1:46 pm
Barry, could be alternator voltage regulator problem, too many volts?

Re: What did you do in your ALPINA today?
Thanks for the suggestions chaps, I've been getting an intermittent ABS light over the last 12 months which had a 'Steering angle plausibility' error which I put down to fitting an M5 steering box so hadn't taken too seriously (although I had tried to recalibrate in INPA). The Trans Failsafe warning...

Re: Trip over Buttertubs pass
I'd not head of Buttertubs but it looks lovely, whenever I think of interesting passes up north Hardknott and Wrynose spring to mind - I've been over them on my bike and in the B10

Re: Sreten from M539 Restos has bought a B7!
Not sure if its been posted elsewhere but Sreten finished off the project by taking the car back to Alpina and not only does Andreas Bovensiepen take the B7 for a spin but he spends a lot of time talking to Sreten on the video, very interesting insight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqb1YjQuOo8&li...

Re: Advice around a B10 v8 #190
