E83 X3 3.0d 2006 155,000mls total failure
You can just replace the bad one no worries ,6 new ones would write most cars off problem with common rail is its one out all out it won't really tolerate it as it drops pressure to the rest.

Price of reconnig these injectors is very high and very few places have the equipment needed to do it id look a cheap replacement of a working engine if possible
I scrapped my 330d a few months back it went with 6 good injectors

No worries
One that had worst leak off is probably the one, with common rail it's one out all out, won't start if rail pressure min spec not met.
It's important it's spinning over fast to as more chance of reaching that pressure.
All points to injector /injectors so far

If you can get some to run a smooth running test with software that would tell you a bad injector but a code read would hopefully narrow it down .Rough idle is often an injector symptom .

Halogen to bi xenon upgrade
I had 2 bi xenon headlights bought for an e46 and one wouldn't work and it was a faulty igniter, I took the ballast off usually a silver box on the underneath and put it on the good light to prove the ballast was good. The igniter is usually inside the light so lens needs removing to get to it. If n...

Drivetrain noise
Front bearings often grown into the housing with alloy corrosion it took 10 ton to press mine out so don't expect to just lift them out unless very lucky. The new ones however will just drop in after a cleanup. :thumbsup: If you are spinning the bearing and it's smooth it's probably not the bearing,...

I'd say there is no need for ride height calibration if it was fine before must be genuine bags at those silly prices

They had to comply by law to be sold after 2015 earlier cars will be a grey area and if it doesn't state on the logbook then its not compliant. It seems some cars already made could be sold that didn't meet the specs. . Either way the value of those cars is likely to nosedive as all people are heari...

Any diesel pre 2016 is now virtually worthless in those areas im surprised they didn't even offer scrap value which is what they do if they don't want it. I feel sorry for the people who have those cars now as they are stuck with them .

wheel bearing noise from rear
Always hard to pinpoint a wheel bearing from inside the car, you need it jacked up and spin them.
The e70 rear diff failure is common now, mine went last year and I've seen a few for sale locally needing a diff.
