Not Starting X5 3.0 DIESEL 06
Glow plugs won't be the Non starting issue, they don't need them til below freezing. A leak off test with bottles to each injector, or a smooth running test if you can get it going maybe using easy start, is the battery fully charged or even get a jump start to get max crank speed as it will help ra...

The price of headlights is crazy and for fairly cheap, run of the mill cars too , leds were supposed to be cheap as opposed to expensive xenons they replaced. Plus these are the first things to get broken in a minor crash and the lens is never separate which might be all its needs , no its bonded in...

X5 F15- intermittent Chassis Restriction Fault
Sounds very like an airbag and id recommend arnott bags as said... very good quality, the cheap ones tend be be far thinner and "pop" in a relatively short time again.

2011 X1 towbar wiring problem.
Id imagine its an absolute nightmare to fit the oe wiring and it goes all the way to the front fusebox under the carpet and then needs coding , that's the way it was with other cars , it should be mandatory for car makers to provide an easy point for plug and play in the rear of the car . I have a 7...

Looking for F15. Should I consider diesel for short trips?
How short are the journeys? As long as once a week it gets a good run it should be fine my e70 has done many 4 mile runs every week but also weekly 20 mile runs in sport mode to get the DPF cleared out, now on 170k and going fine but those weekly runs of 20 mile are crutial.
