Re: Rear drive shaft.

Anyone replaced rear drive shafts? The J&R have bad reviews.

Re: Self levelling system failure warning.

Is the compressor loud? Can you Cleary hear it?
Mine was on the loud side. (Can't hear my new AMK compressor)
Took it apart and the piston seal was worn and wouldn't make enough compression.

Clicking from rear driver wheel. YouTube vid inside.

My car has started to make this click noise. Totally random and not all the time. On or off throttle, rolling, cornering can start it, but also stop it if it's clicking in a straight line.

Re: 7 seater tyre pressures vs 5 seater

Just 90% of what I read on the web. 90% say run the maximum recommended tyre pressure.
I've done that for a year now on new tyres and have even wear across all 4 tyres.
Is it harsh? Yes it is but, I'm sure all 20" wheels with rubber band run flats are.

Re: 7 seater tyre pressures vs 5 seater

I've read a lot about this and everyone says put in maximum pressure.
I run 2.9 bar rear and 2.5 front. I have even tyre wear and it's 5 seater.

Re: X5 se and sport suspension heights

Ok thanks for clearing that up. Don't know to if to buy lowering springs or raise the rear now.

Think it will be too harsh low.

Re: X5 se and sport suspension heights

Cheers looks mine is low on the rear.
I have 20" wheels steel spring on front and rear bags, both heights should be 732mm. I have 742mm front and 705 rear. So wrong springs on front and lowered on rear  :o

Think I'll make some adjustable links for the rear and Jack it up.
