thanks , i had a look at the sticker but i have always run around 31/33 all round. the thing is that 31/32 on the Mich Diamaris felt hard, on the new tyres (General Grabber UHP) 31, 32, and even 33 feel very underflated for some reason. Im not too happy with the tyres, the composite just feel a ...

Many thanks for all your replies. I am hoping it is just the tyres, do you feel my psi is correct 31 front 33/34 rear? . im am going to put a scanner on it later this week just to make sure its not showing any messages. i do not normally use the computer, i normally go off the range, this is what i ...

Hi Fenj no never really use the mpg computer as we all know it gives you differing figures dependant on town/motorway and time spent on motorway etc. so this is more that fact that you know how much you normally get from your car and you notice more if all of a sudden your filling up 3 times a week ...

Hi Guys 05 3.0d auto........ mpg has dropped noticebly over the last few weeks, i know you get less litres for your £ but im sure there is something a miss with mine - normally do motorway driving, have been averaging 32+ always. but over the last couple of weeks have noticed a drop and not sure w ...

thanks jason :) , it was only the pre fuuel pump that was replaced and not the main pump, its more on the smoother gear changes etc, its really improved. i am looking to sell the car anyway but when i buy my E70 in a couple of months time i will be sure to bring it down to you for a remap as i have ...

The indy did it, they have all the BMW equipment. According to them it should have had at least 4 updates since 2004. i would highly recommend it as i honestly cannot tell you the difference its made to the drive of my X. thats why i would really like to know what it does? etc, i beleive from ...

Hi Guys can somebody advise out of curisoty to my myself. As you know i hav recently ahd a new fuel pump installed and whislt it was at the INDY they informed me that the car had never had a ECU software upgrade/update since new (54 2005). they updated the ECU with the latest software and all i can ...

Further update : i got a call from the Indy , they said they ran some further tetss and the main high pressure fuel pump (£1000 part) is ok with retaining and contsnat pressure. they have identified the fault to be the 'pre fuel pump' so WD have ammended the costings and it has been replaced - ...

Hopefully final update on this one! just received a call from the INDY, they have been testing the car since yesterday and have concluded the following - Injector leak off test -OK Glow plus and Controller -OK Starter motor/Alternator etc - all ok (already knew this and has had new battery ...

Hi guys many thanks that would be a help with the scanner if anyone is local. I live in manchester and i will be in liverpool in the morning hopefully with the X if it starts ok!!! , so basically if anyone can help in and around greater manchester or liverpool then that would be a great help. would ...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies, no glow plug warning lights etc showing as yet, its typical with x's, just when you really need them to come into their own they let you down.

its booked in for a injector leak test etc tomorrow, and preparing for the worst = 889 + Vat for the fuel pump from BMW

Hi Guys Thanks for your replies , this was my concern. When i took the policy out i took out the FULL cover only for this reason. I did not want to be in a situation where i had to argue with them each time to get anything done. they did tell me that total failure was covered from the very first day ...
