XSeries-forum

Hi,

I had my first x5 for a few months now and loving it so far. It is a 2002 4.4L sport with LPG installed. I have done 600 miles on it so far and it runs perfect.

For some reason the temperature gauge is not always in the middle but I am sure it is not overheating as even when the car is stone cold upon starting it will be straight to Red and after 5 mins driving then bang in the middle. Sometime when I parked up after a long drive and start up again it will be in red again for a while then back to the middle on its own term. Never anywhere else, just blue cold, Red hot or bang in the middle !!

Time to get a garage to give it a once over to put my mind to rest 

Could be a sticking thermostat from that description.  Staying closed for too long before opening to give you the right temp.

Not sure how close it is to you, but there's a BMW Indy in Maidstone I've heard good reports about.
Bad news I can't remember their name immediately  :'(

The one Chris is talking about is http://www.handcmotors.co.uk/ I suspect.

Very good and good pricing.
