Re: Wanted genuine Satnav disk E53

I also have an 07-01 high if needed. In its case with booklet.

Not sure what it’s worth though.

Re: Broken 3.91 rear diff - swap to 3.73?

Its my car in the other post and it definitely works, it's still driving perfectly and I've given it plenty of beans to try and make it fail.

Edit to say I didn't change the transfer box but had to swap the flanges over on the front and rear diffs.

Re: Front and rear diff swap, 3.91 to 3.73

The 3.64 I fitted were from an earlier 3.0d I believe, mine is a 56 plate so I'd imagine pre facelift.

Re: Front and rear diff swap, 3.91 to 3.73

Update. It's all done and is spot on, speedo is the same as its from the hub, there's no real noticeable difference in the way it drives, the diffs are from a 2005 3.0d X5 whereas mines a 2006 3.0d, as far as I can see the 3.91 were fitted in the 4.4's so I can only think they are in mine as its a ...

Re: Front and rear diff swap, 3.91 to 3.73

As I wrote in my second post I have new front and rear diffs I'm just in the process of getting them swapped over.

The rear needed the flanges taking off and putting on the new one as the bolt holes didn't match up to my drive shafts but I think the front is a straight swap.

My face lift 2006 E53 3.0D started leaking oil from the out put shaft seal so i had the diff removed and took it to someone that can actually repair them, it turns out the carrier snapped in two so it's now scrap.

I can get an exchange unit with ...

Re: Upper front grilles

Just to report back, I ordered some genuine ones off eBay from a guy in Croatia that arrived with no problems. I ripped the old ones out as they were so brittle it was very easy and just eased the new ones in from above.

Took around 10 mins.
