Engine Ticking Noise after Rocker Cover Gasket Replacement
Hi all, Its been a while since I have posted on here. I need your help if possible please. I have a 2008 E70 3.0sd. The car has served us well over the past three year and has over 157,000 miles on the clock now. I had an oil leak and booked it into my local garage. They said the leak was coming ...

Re: Gave the engine bay a quick clean
How long did it take you? I am looking to clean the engine bay on both our cars. Everything I have read says to just a degreaser and a hose or pressure washer but I don't think I have the gonads to do that. I am too afraid that I will fry some electrical circuitry. I am looking to spend a weekend ...

Re: Aftermarket Sat Dav DVD
Just an update, I managed to contact the previous owner who had the original (2008) satnav dvd as well as the rear parcel cover. I picked them up from him at the weekend and you will be glad to know I am using a 'legal' copy of the sat nav dvd now.

Re: New Key Fob
Thanks for the advice guys. I think I will have to bite the bullet and order one from the dealer. Just need to wait for the V5 to come through.

New Key Fob
Hi again, I am finding this forum really helpful, there is plenty of reading material on here. One thing I could not find when searching was the cheapest way to get a replacement/second key. Our car came with only one key. I contacted BMW who want £160 for a new one. I just wanted to know if there ...

Re: Aftermarket Sat Dav DVD
Thanks for the replies guys, i managed to get hold of the telephone number for the previous owner. I contacted him and he has both the sat nav dvd and the rear load area cover which is great. Now all I need is to get a second key made. I contacted BMW and they want £160 for one. Is there a cheaper ...

Aftermarket Sat Dav DVD
Our car was missing the Sat Nav DVD when we bought it. I looked on eBay and found a cheap one, I bought it as I wanted to make sure that the drive works correctly. It seems to work fine. Looking online people seem to be suggesting that non-genuine discs will end up destroying the drive. Is this true ...

Re: Newbie - E70 3.0sd M Sport - Hi and Tips for Parking
thanks for all the comments. I we tried to the 'pretend you are parking in the next space' technique and it does work. I will take your advice and let her get used to the PDC and camera. She is driving it much more confidently and I am sure parking will improve. To be fair, she is a good driver ...

Newbie - E70 3.0sd M Sport - Hi and Tips for Parking
I have been lurking on this forum for a while. I wanted to say Hi! We bought an E70 at the weekend for the better half after her Audi A4 died which served us well for 9 years. I really like the car as does my wife, she seems to be fine driving it although it is bulkier than her Audi A4 was, well ...
