Re: Gearbox issues - unfortunately
Well, apart form the not working two speakers and the reversing sensors of course. However, I don't mind that as it is still a great car....

Gearbox issues - unfortunately
Hi All, I'm after some advice. Ive got a 2004 x53.0d sport with some gearbox problems... Downshifts: Downshifts when approaching a stop can be harsh, with the 2-1 shift appearing to occur too early with a jolt. A slow approach to a stop is less affected than a quick approach. This is worse than ...

Re: Park Heater success
I would be very interested in trying this. Is there anyone in the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire area with the right software and equipment?
I am obviously happy to pay for the privilege of trying it, as you will have had to buy the system in the first place.

Re: Parking sensor sensitivity
That's good to know. My front NS sensor doesn't work and the beep drives the war department nuts.

Re: Back in! Finally
ok, so I found the parts in the end. I will post part number when I'm back in blighty, but can safely say it is one of the more expensive bulbs I've found for such a small one. It is actually the whole unit as one, rather than just a bulb. about £22. Parking sensor was about £60 and I treated the o ...

Back in! Finally
So I Finally tracked the forum down again. I did briefly earlier this year, but couldn't get in and then had trouble finding it again. It is great to be back and seeing decent banter and advice flowing. I have bought an old P38 Range Rover to play around in (Sold the war departments Zafira instead ...

20k miles into a remap
I have now put 20k miles on my 54 plate x5 3.0d sport, since I had it remapped. It is not one of Jason's systems, only because one of the people I worked with had a link with another company. I believe the process is similar to bluefin, but obviously the company and actual system is going to be ...

Re: Have E71 owners done something to upset the members?
e71 is a really nice car. I just wish I could put the 3 kiddies across the back and the 53 would be swapped.

FInaly made it back!
I go away for 3 weeks and it takes me months to track the forum down again. Admittedly the last 2.5 months I have visited a few times and tried to get the authorisation email to work. I was beginning to take it personally. Anyhow, it is good to be back amongst the helpful and knowledgeable again ...
