power.

Setting off for Scotland today noticed a whooshing sound.  When I accelerated there was no power, loud woooooshing, power kicked in and noise went.  Big lag.  Initially I thought it was the blowers pushing out more air.  Seemed to be coming from just behind the steering wheel.  Had a quick look on l...

Scanner, Windows 10 & Check Park lights

Re: Noise

Not very loud,but enough for me to hear it whilst driving at 40 mph, hard to describe.  Having your radio on volume just enough to ear it in the car.

Noise

Here is a strange one and I have thought about puting this on here..... When I turn left there is a wop wop sound.  It happens only when I tun left, even a gentle turn.  I can live with the noise but just concerned if its a problem or not. From what I can remember it started from when I changed the ...

Re: X5m

Yes Waka it was that one.  They were a bit ropy I've asked them to price my car up and give me the figures.  My take on the seats, probably because I'm not used to them and think they would eventually grow on me.  Maybe a good scrub up would make the difference.  It was solid though, beautiful to dr...

Re: X5m

I test drove a x5M at a local dealer in Essex.  I then went and and drove a 40d f15 at coopers ipswich today.  I'm not articulate enough to describe both in any great detail.  I kind of sold myself on the x5m, and was slightly disappointed at the yellow interior seats. I didn't drive it far and didn...
