Always hard to pinpoint a wheel bearing from inside the car, you need it jacked up and spin them.
The e70 rear diff failure is common now, mine went last year and I've seen a few for sale locally needing a diff.

Best get a spare set printed up

I bought a Sealey 18v one and when I tried it wouldn't remove some of the x5 wheel bolts which was a it disappointing but has been useful for other things , I have for many years not let the tyre place I use tighten my bolts up and the one time they did I broke an extending bar socket trying to undo...

I'd think this will be a major job with a big press needed , One of the fronts on.my e70 needed near 10 ton before it came out .

I'd say that's fairly unusual if it wasn't squeaking etc before , is the battery well charged etc as funny things can happen on.low charge as we all know

Probably same as the e46 one and I put about 4 in when I had mine inc genuine ones that didn't last much longer it seemed either . No fan is usually the hedgehog though

I guess as it got worse it would be logged , I know I was looking for codes before and they disappeared as soon as the key was taken out so I had to leave it running after it appeared to find the code :thumbsup: The fact it only appears when hot could be the reason too and was fine when cold . If it...

The winters were non runflat and a cheap brand called Rotalla ice plus and id definitely buy them again no complaints here :driving: Mine has 168k now really imo 200k is good going for most cars , few get past it ,id be worried about the autobox after that but things can go at any time as we know . ...

Do you change to smaller wheels too? Its on the original 20's now with winters but I have a set of summer 21's but due to one thing or another they haven't been on since 2021 , I was for putting them on this year but with not using it there is no point now as it will soon be winter again. :headbang...

4 winters on it now, was the only car inc 4x4's that could get out of our street last year

No messing over there !

Did you keep the X5 Leslie? Yes its still here and mot'ed last month though its been parked most of the last 3 months and I sorned it last month as I have a cheap runabout Passat b6 now as it was getting too expensive to run . I will probably not put it back on the road till winter time. :thumbsup:

Interesting update :thumbsup: I thought you were not doing many miles now but sounds like you are doing near 20k a year :driving: Ev is most definitely here for the future now as the government is planning to ban everything else to make it so :rofl: I'm sure you are glad you kept the x6 as it's stil...

Best thing you could do with that ship is sink it , be nothing left anyway .

Going to cost them dear when that case gets to court
