iPhone 6 won't sync???

Hi all..

As per title I can't get my iphone6 to sync??

My iPhone 5 worked faultlessly..

Am I missing something or has anyone else had problems, it's the same iOS etc..

I've checked all the fuses just incase and they're fine????

TIA

Re: Annoying vibration

Re: Annoying vibration

I took it back to have the weights checked after having the tyres fitted and the laser alignment done and all was as it should be.. The vibration really manifests itself between 15-20mph on acceleration regardless of gear. It starts off very light up to 15-20mph when it's worst and then calms down a...

Re: Annoying vibration

Oops

Meant to say also had new pads front and rear, new front discs and a new front caliper to replace a sticking one!!

Could it be a buckled wheel???

Maybe wheel bearing???

I'm running out of ideas (and money)!!

TIA

Annoying vibration

Right chaps this one is doing my head in now!!! I have a vibration that occurs between 1500/2000 rpm.. It then goes away but when cruising at speed I feel it again through the chassis not as bad but it's there :'( I've read on a few American X sites that people with similar things transfer box oil c...

Re: Another gearbox query!!!!

UPDATE Just got back from my Indy and there was a fault logged on the downshift from 4th to 3rd gear.. He also took a sample of my ATF and it looked in poor shape and the filter was probably the same and had never been changed it's @123k at the moment.. He said he's seen this many times and new oil ...

Re: Another gearbox query!!!!

Hi Richard The first time it happened I was doing about 50 and the lurch was so harsh that I thought I'd lost drive completely until it up changed again.. But yes when it happened again last night I guess it was about 30ish...but still quite violent.. When I get the codes read Friday I'm going to ge...

Re: Rotational Vibration under load - Any Help Appreciated

Good news then Raj!! I doubt mine has anything to do with wheels/tyres as it has new boots all round with laser alignment- even had them off to recheck balancing and all ok.. My vibration seems to occur the worst between 15-20 mph feeling it through the seat and gets less n less as speed rises and a...
