Re: Failed MOT

Just an update following the comment they could be old tyres and that’s why they could be cracking, just checked and the oldest tyre was manufactured week 25 2016.

Rears both have 5mm tread, front have 6-6-5mm tread.

So I know X5’s are traditionally hard in the inside of the rear tyres, but last MOT, my rear passenger side was really worn whereas the driver side was perfect. MOT centre - a reputable Indy BMW centre said they checked the suspension and there was no play at all, but there must be an issue. Any ide...

Re: Failed MOT

Thank you Graeme, most helpful. I’ll check again tonight but I certainly couldn’t see any cord through the cuts. With regards the certificate, I just have the pass, they told me it had failed on 3 tyres over the phone and did I want to have them replaced by them, £258 per front tyre and £319 for the...

Re: Failed MOT

I’d be very interested to hear more as I feel this was extremely harsh and if you looked hard enough, you’d find similar ‘damage’ to virtually every tyre on the road today.

Thankfully I had a set of Winter wheels at home which I had them swap over for me to pass the MOT.

Thanks Alex.

I just wanted to check, have they all got at least 5mm tread on?

Re: F15 parts for sale.......

Might be a silly question but has the divider got to go right in the middle of the boot?

Re: 19" Alloys complete with Winter Tyres

Are you in a rush to get rid? I’m very tempted to say I’ll take them but can’t pick them up until after Easter.

E70 3.0d ‘shaky’ on start up in the cold

So it seems my X5 is a little ‘shaky’ on start up in the extreme cold we have had.

Any idea what could be causing it or is his pretty normal for a diesel in this weather?

I know this is a little off topic, but you got discs and pads through BMW warranty? How did you manage that?
