Drivetrain noise

I have a had a noise from the front of the car now which has got louder. It sounds like a wheel bearing droning and now audible at slow speeds as well as high. It is speed related but not obvious which side it is from which worries me it may be the front diif. I have jacked the front up and no beari...

x5 40d turbo removal

My 2010 x5 40d needs both turbos replaced and after searching online cant find any info on this job. Has anyone done this or found any info on it?

Instrument cluster dead

Is the module under the rear fuse box?

Oddly I have noticed that although the cluster is dead, the small lcd screen in the centre appears to be permanently illuminated, but no info shown, even when car has been left for hours.

Instrument cluster dead

Started the car this morning and noted that nothing works on the instrument cluster. No warning lights, rev counter, speedo. Have checked all fuses and all fine. Anyone came across this before. Its an lci 40d.

aux belt failure x5 40d

Its basically the crankshaft pulley which has split into two parts where the rubber joining them has deteriorated, split then separated.

aux belt failure x5 40d

Not seen such yet. The only value kit shown is for cars with adaptive suspension. What the actual difference is I can’t see from the RealOEM data. The good book suggests you need to get the electric fan & cowl off and there’s a special tool (a long steel pin) that has to be inserted in the tens...

aux belt failure x5 40d

2010 X5 40D Started car this afternoon and went to drive away and felt/heard a thud. Noticed loss of power steering so had a peek under the bonnet to see that the aux belt had come off. Due to it getting dark I just parked it up after a cursory look. It is not easy to see the idlers and tensioner fr...

2010 40d thumping on pulling away

In many other cars it would be simple case of lying underneath and having a look, but from memory the rear shaft is behind the exhaust and heat shields making it a pita to get to.

2010 40d thumping on pulling away

I have a 2010 x5 40d. If pulling out of a junction (sometimes) it will sometimes give a speed related thumping noise for a few seconds which seems to be coming from under the rear passenger footwell area. Am I right in thinking that there is a rear prop shaft support bearing there and could this be ...
