Re: Wiper "lift" for windscreen cleaning

All I do is the following, Ignition off, doors locked ready to wash. Push the wiper blade in the direction it would normally sweep until it is near the top of its arc. Let go and lift off screen. After washing the car, put blade back onto screen and push back in direction of sweep until in the usual...

Re: Rear tyres for X3

I have googled to see what mileage other people are getting, but no results. These tyres are recommended by Hankook for “SUV’s” so they should last a little longer. I’m just deciding which tyres to put on and hope the dealer will assist with returning these to Hankook. Proving mileage isn’t a proble...

Hi,
The rear alignment was done before the tyres went on, they have worn completely evenly. Just a little too quick.

I currently have Hankook S1 EVO2 runflat fitted since Feb. I have done 3000 miles and am nearly down to the wear indic...

Re: Brakes

I had the same issue on mine, changed the arm and ball joint on both sides, problem solved.
Cost of parts was £100. It took about 3 hours but worth it.

Re: Xenons and European driving

Hi, because the beam is flat, no adjustment is required.

Re: EGR cooler recall letter

Just a heads up for everyone. My EGR cooler was replaced under the recall but they don't change the EGR valve at the same time. If the valve goes down the car goes into limp mode which mine did. Luckily it was replaced at home by BMW assist.

Re: EGR cooler recall letter

Finally got my car back after 5 weeks. I ended up posting on BMW UK Facebook page about the dismal service I was receiving and I had a holiday coming up but couldn't carry my dog in the hire car. The next day I got a call saying my car was ready. 👍
