Re: MOT Passed......eventually

I think the undertray advisory is a get out if something is amiss that they can't see, etc.

Not unusual to see them mentioned as MOT advisories these days.

Facelift e53 rear lights?

I've worked out from OEM that they have different part numbers from the earlier lights, but can anyone tell me / show me how they differ?  Are they a worthwhile upgrade to the pre facelift?

Re: FOR SALE: BENTLEY Continental Flying Spur.......

I am not surprised Chris' car sold that quick.

He knows his cars, looks after his cars and has a good reputation.  All the way back to his e36 days... ;)

Merry Xmas!

Re: 22's dished wheels with black centers complete with tyres

Well after speaking with the Mrs, sadly these aren't for us  :(

Which is a real shame as for the money you are asking I reckon they are a real bargain.  I'd chuck them on ebay - I'm sure you'll get more than the £200 with those tyres.

Cheers

Re: Insurance renewal sorted again....

Can't say the premiums I've been quoted are any more or less than any other of the 4x4s we've owned before.

I heard all the horror stories about X5 theft figures and tracker requirements, but tbh neither have appeared to be an issue for us.

Re: How to re-sync keys after charging flat battery??

Not sure where I found this but it's within a word file I've saved for e53 hints & tips.  Hopefully it'll work - 1. Turn key to position 1 five times very quickly 2. Remove key 3. Hold unlock button then press lock button 3 times, release unlock button. 4. If you have another key do the same but...

Re: Radiator gone - good source of replacements?

ECP would be my choice. £170.40 for my prefacelift 3.0d with a further 25% using the code UKPAS25 = £127.80.  ;) Edit - I've used this lot when I bought some brakes for the Jag.  Bit cheaper - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-X5-3-0D-4-4I-3-0I-00-07-Radiator-/291006329644?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarPa...
