Er no, it isn`t normal.

Keep a close eye on it and if it drops again, get in touch with whoever rebuilt it. !

A thread revival... Mine has cracked again.. :rant: :rant: Started with exhaust smell in cabin when sat in traffic. Been getting worse recently, so it looks like I need to remove it again. :( Anyway, instead of buying a new steel manifold (I`m not bothering trying to repair mine again), I`m thinking ...

[quote="Monkey Tennis"]Today the flat tyre warning light has come on.[/quote] Coincidence !! this happened to me yesterday ! Came out to the car this morning and it was sat low on the rear suspension. I heard a leaking air noise when walking away fromt he car, now I know why. Some quick googling and ...

We can send you out our Xconsole flashing tool for you to use at home and once your happy with your remap just post it back

Thats exactly what I did. Great service, Jason tweaked the map to suit my request. Highly recommended.

You need to black out the windows to complete the look...

[quote=""kkodal78""]with X5 being an SAV it won't make a huge difference whether you have a bull bar or not. if you get hit by an X5 you'll get hurt no matter what.[/quote] I beg to differ. Of course it`ll still hurt BUT... IF I was hit by a car that had a low speed blowout and mounted the pavement ...

[quote=""jason@bwchiptune""][quote=""IanP""][quote=""IanP""]I would ask for what they have said in writing [/quote][/quote][/quote] I`d do this. If they are so confident they supplied the correct oil, they will put it in writing. IF they`ve supplied the wrong oil and it causes gearbox issues, that ...

Probably one of the most pedestrian unfriendly things you could add to a car. They spend all that money designing cars to limit the damage to people in an impact, then people fit steel tubes to the front instead.

I`m sorry, but I just don`t get them.

[quote=""Bargain Bucket""][quote=""Nige""]It wasn`t dead flat, blimey, you`d do well to find a 220+mile drive without hills ! :lol: ([/quote] Just drive around Norfolk for a while :D[/quote] :lol: The drive was to near Ipswitch, so it was almost in Norfolk :)

it COULD be the ambient conditions, but the weather didn`t really change. It wasn`t dead flat, blimey, you`d do well to find a 220+mile drive without hills ! :lol: I`ve found that over a journey of 3 hours, the MPG is a pretty decent average, it tends to balance out the hills. I know the X5 isn`t ...

Bit of an update. Removed the MAF, cleaned it with Carb cleaner. Decided there was nothing to lose, apart from a bit of time. Rebuilt it all, went for a long motorway drive the next day. On the onboard display, it averaged 35.2 at 75mph. Came back the next day, exactly the same route and speed and ...

Mine failed on the way home from collection when I bought it. Lost ALL hydraulic fluid and braking. As already said, you`d be stupid to drive it knowing there was an issue with this. I ended up with new disks, pads, flexible hoses and hard pipes all round, they really did look after me. There were ...

Apart from just buying a new one, is there any way of checking the MAF ?

Bit of a thread resurrection. My X5 has averaged between 23 and 27 for the last 2 years as its mostly local driving or towing. Without trailer, I get mid 30`s on a good run. I`ve noticed recently, thats dropped to around 20, even on a 180 mile Motorway drive, it only averaged 28 ! Usually I`m into ...

Have a look at this guide I put together, I had exactly the same issue.
