Hi is this still up for grabs ???

i am just curious why the need to change the filler and drain plugs not just fresh copper seal washers .

found time to do the transfer case oil over the weekend while and an exhaust rubber mount , wow that oil was well ovedue a change will post some pics up soon.

Like to change the oil and filter twice a year and being the X5 has done over 100k thought i would do the diff oils aswell , will be doing gearbox oil and filter plus transfer box oil soon , here is my selection of choosen goodies . sorry for large pics and one the wrong way :oops: IMG_1637 (2).JPG ...

I am currently running with 25mm hubcentric spacers to the rear so was thinking if i add 10js to the front i get an extra inch to match the rear , i guess once i have done my refurb i can dummy fit wides all round see what issues i may or may not have , not really a lover of 22s on a x5 think they m...

wow wish my boot looked that mint , i can kinda get away with using my current spare as it still fits the rear just means if i get a front flat i have to fit spare to rear and the rear to the front :oops: , so what size tyre is on that wheel and will it be ok to run with my 19" wheels or will t...

hopefully someone can clear this up i have a facelift 4.4 v8 on 19" wheels my spare is 235/65/17 but since fitting the larger front brakes off a 4.8 v8 my spare no longer fits its to small , so my question is what size is the spare as fitted to the 4.8 with the larger front brakes , i have cont...
