The high pressure fuel pump gave up sending swarf throughout the fuel system. New injectors, high pressure pump, low pressure pump, filter and heater. Fuel tank rail and lines also removed and painstakingly cleaned.

There was no warning before this happened it simply died whilst driving.

My 2010 40d has 210000 miles but wouldnt say its been plain sailing

Its very simple to do....just takes a while on an x5

I fitted blackvue 750 front and rear cameras powered from an obd plug. Not the cheapest but very discrete and all wires hidden

What faults were revealed from the scan?

Did you check the old bag was leaking before replacing and have you scanned the car?

Having removed the shaft, the front joint is also just about to self destruct and barely intact. What surprises me is that there was no noise prior to the failure, other than a very slight noise minutes before it failed. I have spoken to a local propshaft manufacturer who is going to rebuild it by w...

Just spoke to dealer in Glasgow who were less than interested. They advised me to drive the car in ....wtf .... and they will look at it and make a decision on whether it will be replaced under warranty. Needless to say i will be sourcing one myself and fitting it as if they think it can be driven w...

It was very lucky that I was parking and not on the move or the damage could have been substantial. BMW want £650 for a new shaft supplied so I think I will be looking elsewhere

So had a crawl under the car today and the front prop-shaft has snapped at the joint nearest the transfer box. I now need to hunt down a shaft and cant help wondering what has caused the failure. I am aware that some cars had a recall on these but mine seems to have missed it. It seems to be 2011 ca...

The rain here hasn't stopped so as yet waiting to get under it. Cant wait

If its still working why not just get touch up pen set in required colour, a lot less hassle

Yes that would be a bonus just never seen a cv joint fail without quite a bit of warning

Was driving the 40d home today and noticed some vagueness when pulling away and a slight clunk noise but never thought much of it. Got home and when reversing to park on full lock there was a metallic crunch noise and the car wouldn't move.....unless forced with more power when there were banging no...

I didn’t, as it seems such a common fault for the bag itself to leak that I just put it down to that rather than anything else. Also, Bmw told me when they inspected the car a few weeks ago that the airbags look very worn. Surely the air is contained within the airbags themselves once inflated. If ...
