Just taken a few photos will try and get them up in a few minutes.

Many thanks for the parts no list,but cannot see anything like that in any of the parts showing,so this has me perplexed,what is it that dropped down and i am alsomost certain it has something to do with the mechanism but nothing appears to be broken off.So at the moment i am bloody stuck till i fin...

On thursday my drivers front door lock becam a victim of the broken door lock syndrome so ordered a replacement which arrived this morning. The door panel and everything has been stripped and everything was going well till a cast type of alloy or monkey metal spacer/bracket type of thing fell out,th...

If the windows are a easy change over,would the existing motors be able too handle additional weight of moving the windows up and down ?? On the 7 series i would think that they must have slightly bigger motors. Also i am trying to rack my brain what advantage are you looking at gaining by the upgra...

About a month ago i went down to Devon for the week,a mixture of motorway and A roads and got about the same mileage,total round trip of 600 miles and never missed a beat once,the pickup astounded me as well for a diesel,i always use STP treatment in the fuel and it does seem to run so much better s...

For some reason this problem has stopped again,i have a suspicion that it maybe the main switch near the gearlever the one that you can manually over ride it all.Tried the switch and it does work exactly as it should do,was wonder if the wife had hit the button by mistake and it has thrown it all ou...

[quote="Horizon"] If you can get it out, I would unplug the central locking button on the dash, just had a problem with my alarm going off randomly, especially when it was stood in the sun, firstly I turned off the inner sensors, still went off randomly, then disabled the tilt sensor, all ...

This problem has started up again albeit not all the time,seems to be a pattern that it does it more so in warm weather like we have had this last week or so.Initially thought it was interference from say factories or alarms but its become bloody annoying,it can trigger the central system just once ...

The Aircon decided to start blowing warm air on the hottest week of the year thus far,finally took it into a local service center and they re-gassed the system for me,it was very low and they also added oil or what ever they do so that the oil seals dont leak. Verdict on what the result are like,its...

Yep,count me in,will this be in the inner London congestion charge zone ?? if so out of principal i wont come,never have ventured inside inner London.If its outside then i am still in lol

I would think it would be classed as a category D write off,it may well be possible that you could have the opportunity too buy it back after payout at a reduced rate,its could well be worth asking.Of course they will have the final say. Sorry to hear about the accident,as long as no one was serious...

Hope this is not seen as hijacking the thread,but its side step related on a E53 X5,mine is a Le-Mans version on a 56 plate,i am not removing mine as i personally like them but the problem that i have is these are factory fitted step made of alloy i think and have these i also think rubber anti-slip...

This may seem like a stupid question,i have a 56 plate E53 and heard about these angel eye light thingies but what advantage do they have over the normal stock headlights or do mine have them all ready ?? if they are brighter or what ever they do i could well be interested. Are they easy to fit or a...
