Thanks for the reply Greydog.

Touch wood i don't have the issue yet, but i've heard its a ticking time bomb so i want to be ready lol.

I am at 118k miles at the moment. What mileage were you on when you had them done and how much did it cost?

Thanks.

Anyone know of an experienced and good reputable garage who will carry out this job on a 2003 X5 4.4i ?

Preferably in the North East area.

Got a 2003 4.4i.....what engine oil is recommended for these cars? and which brand?

I left the car heater on full heat and speed blowing towards the footwell for a few hours. Dried fine.

So i fixed the leak. The rubber pipe came off of the sunroof drain above the headliner so i glued it back on to prevent it coming off again in future

Passenger side (UK) floor mat getting water on it via wet glove box.

What could be the cause?

2003 X5 4.4i

i mean something like K-seal for coolant, but something equivalent for engine oil.

does anyone have any recommendation on what product to use to stop engine oil leaks?

2003 4.4i

ok, so just had the charging system tested at a Halfords. The battery is apparently fine, but on their computer it said there is 'Excessive Ripple'. Anyone know what that means?

Checked battery voltage and before starting the car it showed 11.6 volts at position 1, and then dropped to 11.3 volts when turned to position 2.

I dont know why my sig is not working?

Over the past few weeks when I go to start the car it asks for a code on the dash. It has started to do this more and more frequently. I know what the code is but why could it be doing this?

It starts fine in the mornings, and the code only comes up usually after 2nd attempted start later in the day.

As seen the video the sound is at the front. Maybe 'hissing' is the wrong term i am using.

Can you not hear the sound in the video? it comes and goes constantly and changes pitch.

oil leak has nothing to do with the hissing sound?

Hi guys,

Could you tell me what the 'hissing' sound is in the below link. It's coming from under the car.

Thanks.
