Re: E53 X5 4.6 iS 53 plate for sale

Thanks folks. I'm jusr back from Denmark so I've not exactly been pushing the sale. Quite difficult to do a deal when in the middle of the North Sea ;)

Will be getting it cleaned up and take pics to update the ones I have already.

It may also be a bit of a hindrance being way up here in the North ...

83 views and not one post to point out if I can use this or not?
I'm not too clued up when it comes to software and the likes. Just need a guide in the right direction.

E53 and Tyre pressure warning.

Just looking for some input folks. I was looking to get the tyre pressure warning coded out, would this do it?

Re: Washer Bottle lid...I dropped it...need new one

[quote="storminmike"]

Must be the season for it. Including me, is that 2 or 3 now that's done it.

Perhaps it should be a dealer recall :)) due to contaminants getting in the bottle now and an unbalanced chassis due to the additional weight on the engine sub floor. Maybe that's why it pulls a ...

Re: Howdy!

Nice, looks better with the mat finish. Not everyone's cuppa though.

I've watched a lot of the Aussie racing. That things can shift and hold the track surprisingly well.
I still have a hankering for a Monaro.
I take it that Maloo has all the correct toys, as in suspension, exhaust and the like? I ...

Thats probably the best option. If you can spare an afternoon/morning at all, sit with a hose or one of them big water pistols and soak the cat every time it jumps up onto the car.

Re: Howdy!

Is that a Maloo in the pic? Hence the user name?
If so, more pics of that too. Almost bought a Monaro before getting the X5  :o
Must be a thing about owning V8's  :))
