Re: 30D super low fuel efficiency, why bruv?

Is this an actual figure or from the computer?
I did over 300 miles yesterday in my 35d at an average of 60 mph and just over 40 mpg indicated. That’s running on Shell V power though, wouldn’t get that on ordinary fuel....

Re: Star marked tyre list

Whilst I understand the BMW stance regarding tyres, I would have thought that any ‘branded’ tyres should be ok. Just remember you cannot only change one tyre on an axle, and really the whole set should be changed at the same time to ensure that all corners have the same rolling radius to prevent dif ...

Re: Winter/All Season Tyre Help Please

I would suggest that it is a wide low profile tyre issue, rather than brand specific.
It is worth remembering that 4 WD might allow you to go faster, but you cannot stop or corner any faster!

Re: Steering Rack

I would get a second opinion. I have a clonk on mine at 90k, my mechanic assures me it is the bush at the end of the rack, a common fault on several models which use the same rack.
It has passed two mot test so far, and does not appear to be getting any worse....

Re: Water leak

You might want to look at the level sensor in the bottom of the expansion tank. When it fails the coolant drips into a trough in the chassis rail and then runs rearward. New expansion tank required I think as the sensor is part of the tank. That’s my experience anyway, but on a 3.0 L 2012, yours may ...

Re: How does a F25 X3 compare to an E70 X5?.

The crappy Audi dsg box is why I will never have another Audi. Unreliable after 60 k miles, and expensive to mend. Audi of course say there's no fault because the computer does not show one!
SQ5 has a proper auto, but unfortunately the same dealers!
