[quote=""shadrack""]raj dont be so sensible the wheels stiull turn without the alignment!![/quote]

Agreed . The no nonsense approach.

Do the work and run the car. If it drives straight and the tryres don't scrub then leave all else alone

[quote=""shadrack""]ive always run budget tyres as like with a £50 bike helmet they still have to run a standard, ive xsport cross grip on one set of 22s, desert hawk on the other 22s (excellent) and delintes on my 20s and never had a problem other than they cost half the price, dont get me wrong i ...

Pick the tyre that suits your needs and budget. When the time comes my X5 will be getting part worn or budget and either will do just fine.

Like anything else once you have done the job a few times it's not that difficult but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as a 1st DIY.

[quote=""shadrack""]I had these on my old x5 when I first got it and they were still good 2 years later[/quote] That's good enough for. I'll get some ordered today :thumbsup: [quote=""n1k85""]Anyone know how much it generally costs to get these fitted?[/quote] I'll be fitting them myself but I do ...

[quote=""sapphireblack""]My cars were all were replaced with OEM by my regular dealer. I somehow think original is usually best.[/quote] Totally agree OEM would be best but at around £70 each from the dealer compared to £70 for 4 it's quite a price difference. My MOT is due in 3 months so if the ch ...

[quote=""sapphireblack""]Ordered now, and i appreciate the help ;)[/quote] Glad to be of assistance :thumbsup: It's a handy bit of kit to have.

It does say 4 year warranty but in real life anything bought on ebay only has a warranty until the last day you can leave feedback. I'd be happy if they lasted say 18 months.

[quote=""sapphireblack""]The issue, if there is one, is the delay in posting from China, when if all scanners are supposedly equal, a UK sourced one would be quicker. I regard myself as suitably chastised but thank you for the picture anyway.[/quote] Mine arrived in about 10 days. I would doubt if ...

[quote=""Raj""]Welcome and really nice looking X. I love Imola Red and so reminds me of Kav's base motor. You are right about front arch extensions too. Not present on non running board examples. Like what you've got planned. I do have some nice rims for sale if you're interested and they can come ...

I bought my car with 1 sensor missing and the warning light on ( previous owner told me it had been removed) so like yourself I priced up the parts looking at the worst case of all 4 sensors being needed and found it to expensive. The scanner gives you an option page for check control messages that ...
