all main dealers of all manufacturers get told to tell customers that their car can use a litre every thousand miles, its just an industry standard, ive worked for fiat, kia, alfa romeo, jeep, Chrysler and saab and all say the same, its due to the machene that knocks the engine components out ...

I swapped to a set of aftermarket ones and they have no electric adjusters just manual wind up ones so left my switch inside the cab non functional now, plus side they look ten times better, downside had to adjust them in my workshop and they have to stay where they are now regardless of weight ...

both sides have one. ive probably said it a hundred times but should have ripped the whole system out and replaced with coil springs and just delete the inactive message from the dash. much cheaper and youll never have a suspension prob again

well if your happy and the works been done to a good standard then that's great news. I hate other people working on my car personally as I have seen some of the work other technicians seem to think is acceptable even at main dealers when in reality is shoddy, you never know in future they may offer ...

only probs is with these blank kits is the egr pipe is connected to the blank off and causes a bit of back pressure and eventually blows the pipe in half. you can get a blank off to attatch to the manifold but requires about 45minutes of work to fit as you have to remove a few bolts and move the ...

I work for a main dealer and if we do any work not authorised by the customer without a signature its on our heads be it if they say no thanks. also its your word against his if you haven't got any job card or pre work agreement with them and believe me if it went to court you would win as like the ...

TBH I removed quite a bit but only because I done the integral links and rose joint bushes and all rear arms at same time, you can get them in if the whole of the rear is off the floor and yes use a lever bar or some wood to lever the arm down and compress the spring then release it when its in the ...

id say timing chain replacement too or something around that  area.

Same prob as me! very frustrating as it only does it every nower and then and every time it does it is when I really need them to work, i.e in a car park where theres low bollards that are in the blindspot etc. cant exactly get out and listen for the sensors when people are trying to get past, I may ...

defo check battery first! major cause of problems and odd errors, then if its anything to do with suspension and you only have the rear air bags id rip it all out and replace with coil spring kit for 200 pounds, end of that problem! ive done it and handles no different and will never cause me a prob ...

DOH just seen this, I had so many probs with air suspension I just removed replaced with coil springs and deleted the error message code off the ecu. cost 200 pounds for the kit and about 3 hours of my time, one side took 2 hours as was taking my time then other under the hour. feels no different to ...

I thought all 3.0d sports had the rear only air suspension? anyway I had this prob after a dead battery, found out error was saying left rear sensor was broken, went to replace and found someone had already replaced it, next I stripped out the rear and found the ecu and surprise suprise all the ...

ive just put one of the bosch battery's on mine, come with a 4 year warranty but where Im in the trade got it for 80pounds but if I had the choice id have got a varta one too but it was cheap and convenient to get the bosch

ahh cool, ill have a word with my computer geek mate and see if he can get it going, otherwise its brother in laws laptop stealing time  >:D

should prob add its a 3.0d sport e53 2002 x5. black and black interior.love it
