Re: Error code P3019

So basicly needs replacing. If it says bank 2 sensor 1, so when you stand at the fornt of the car it is right hand side and one before cat? Am I correct.

Re: Gaydon 2015

That is the shame. But it is still a family event where you can go a see something and meet other people, I have been there few times and you do not have to have a best looking car.

Re: x5 4.8is Ticking/rattling noise - UPDATED

It has taken me 2 months, it was replaced under insured warranty from bmw. I had to contribute £2000 towards this repair. Originally they wanted nearly a 7k but because they went with stripping the engine without informing of potential cost if that is not going to be a warranty repair they have ...

Re: Thoughts and Advice please.

My my, getting a bit personal then, Denis O? FWIW, I am not "paying through the nose" for the warranty, its reasonable IMO from my financial perspective.

Re: x5 4.8is Ticking/rattling noise

So, I will start with saying the car is about 80% quieter than it was. Rattling is still there not as distinctive as it was before. I personally don't think that's there is an issue with HVA but we have replaced all of them as well. I also replaced all of the intermediate levers as the old one were ...
