Alarm problems??

Hi everyone, I have a 2005 X5 3.0d and have been having problems with the alarm going off for no reason. I changed the original battery 2 yrs ago for a Duracell one so shouldn't be that. It doesn't happen all the time but most. No bugs or anything like that to set it off and starts up with no lag ...

Re: ???Does my X5 have swirl flaps???

Hi Chelsea,

Do you mean my X5, 3 series or both, that I need to blank off the EGR valve mate?

Re: ???Does my X5 have swirl flaps???

Hey everyone, I'm grateful for your feedback. I did do a search but found them a bit hit and miss but from your replies and advise already received, I can pretty much say my X5 doesn't have them. I also have a 2008 335d msport coupe which I am blanking them off on next week and would have done them ...

???Does my X5 have swirl flaps???

Hi, I have a 2005 X5 3.0d and have been told conflicting info with regard to it having and not having swirl flaps. My brother in law has a '55 plate X3 3.0d and his has them which he's blanked off, however I have been told X3's do have them and my X5 does not. Can anyone shed some light on this ...

Air bag light on?

Hello everyone, My air bag light has come on. I have noticed for a week or so a slight rubbing noise coming from the steering wheel whilst turning. I am probably adding 1+1 and making 3 but it's too much of a coincidence to ignore. Any thoughts would be grateful. I take it the air bag has been ...
