It may be the up/down parking assitance wand button. I have one on my r32. It was a little choosen option from the factory. Pressing it up raised a small antenna on the very left hand corner of the front bumper with a light on top of it. It helped you see where the far corner of your car when parking at night.

I guess the actual antenna would have been removed if your front bar was changed.

Greg.

The button operates a "parking pole", they are fitted in the bumper at usually the front left or rear left.

They work like an electric arial and have light in the top for night use. You can see the corners of the car easily (for the short or stupid only)

One press of the button for up and once for down.

Sounds like you have one hiding under a bumper somewhere.

also i have a button to the right of that with 2 open slots on the left but a different icon on it.know what that does?

by the way with the stereo i have i cannot get it below 76FM or 89.9FM.in other words i cannot get nova today FM etc??!!

pressed every button but cannot get to it??

Luke, send a picture of it & we can have a go at working it out.

You radio problem is because Japaneese FM band is as you described, only 76-89MHz. To fix this You can get what is called a band expander which will shift the frequency +12MHz, so that 84.9 will be nova! I have one in my car, But that still does not allow you to get past 101MHz. so you may be better off with a new radio....

Most Import yards will know where to get one from.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
