    Who has an Aussie delivered E34 with a functioning stomp test? Anyone?
    Shogun thinks it may only be the U.S. delivered E34's that have the stomp codes check function. I'd be interested to know what it takes to enable the stomp test if it is not functioning. - TIA

    To make the question more clear: Pundit means the stomp test ONLY, not the warning messages in the check engine light such as catalysator etc.
    I have asked this question already 2 years ago on roadfly, the former U.K. E32 register and on the German 7er.com. None of these cars have a stomp test possibility. Even Johan from Johan and Sean's page was involved, because we both wanted to have that nice feature running too. But no one could give us an answer.
    It was started in California and all cars needed to have it, details here

    If someone tells me how to do it on my car with some modifications, I will do it immy. But just inserting the bulb (the socket is standard worldwide) for the stomp test light does not help. I tried it and many others.

    My car is Australian delivered. It had no bulb in the check engine light when I got the car, but I put one in, and the stomp test works fine.

    Ahh yes, but does it display codes?
    Since I fitted the check lamp bulb it flashes correctly after I stomp the pedal 5 times in 5 seconds but no codes are displayed. According to the Bentley manual if there is no problem present a 1444 code should appear which means no new codes. Mine doesn't. That's why I'm asking if any Aussie E34's do. Just a flashing check lamp doesn't appear to mean it can actually display codes.

    I've never been able to get mine to do it either... perhaps its a feature to support 'dealer servicing' (chuckles)

    Well in California it's required to ensure emission compliance. Here it's probably not required to ensure stealer profits!

    LOL indeed so... I've always had it in my mind that our cars were just English build cars detuned for our crumby LRP... I would have thought England's emission controls might have stipulated the stomp test too... I guess there is nowhere with emission controls like L.A. (California)... yet!
