I managed to do it, or so I thought, (getting the allen screw lined up was a real pig) however when testing the lock it appears that the tension of the cable isnt sufficient enough to open the door. On the cable the ...

Re: Self Level Suspension Inactive - cleared but bouncy ride
Only 59k. I'm pretty certain that it's genuine. I've done the due diligence and know the history of the car. I don't believe for one second that it has been clocked. (I spot them very quickly as I worked in the motor industry for 6 years). I wouldn't expect suspension problems with that type of ...

Re: Self Level Suspension Inactive - cleared but bouncy ride
No idea if its full or just rear. How do I tell? I've been through the owners manual and it looks like some models have three settings and a button on the centre console to press. This X5 doesnt have that. Not sure if that's the difference between full or rear. I'm sure that it shouldn't be as ...

Re: Exterior door trim removal
I thought it would be pretty simple. If the clips are just for guidance I am right in assuming that double sided tape is required when putting them back on. Is it easy to get the old tape off? If I put new tape over the old tape then they arent likely to fit flush when refitted.
