I just picked up another R, was my dads. It has a mess of issues from years of neglect. Drove it 17 hours home from Maine without major issue but here's what I've found so far:
Electrical bugs:
- no switched power coming into fuse rail for joined circuits; 12v sockets, Radio switched power, and Passenger Seat power
- High beams don't work
- Front fog lights don't work
- Alarm goes off if car is locked now after getting back to NC – Sunroof rattles, or Hard hits on suspension knocked something loose?
- No lights for active chassis settings or function to suspension settings.
- “CHASSIS SETTINGS SERVICE REQUIRED” message
Potential wiper problems reported, possible that a window was left down at some point as there was 2" of water in the drivers floor when it was picked up. No signs of leaking now. Windshield cowl had a huge chewed hole by the wiper thats been replaced.
2 Starters replaced in last few thousand miles.
Thoughts? Crush it?
