Re: what wheel colour help please pics advice etc

Black may look better now but when you try to sell on it may put buyers off as they are always drawn to standard/stock cars.

Re: Windscreen wiper hitting pillar

[quote="Pinewood"] When the wipers come up to the max point, there should be a 2 inch parallel gap between it and the pillar. Anything less suggests the wiper arm needs to taken off and moved a cog or two over. Why it would move is anyone's guess? Could there be an issue with an encoder motor ...

Re: Where can i get the build sheet spec for new X3?

I just grabbed a number plate from autotrader for a G01 and worked for me.

You only need to enter a reg plate and hit enter/Go. No need to fill in any other details.

Re: 30D super low fuel efficiency, why bruv?

I average normally around 32mpg in my 2.0d drive. Can be up to 36 if I do more motorway only driving. Most of the time just 2 adults and a small child.

Re: wheels

Hi just wondering what was the reason you went for non run flats? Was it just ride quality. I need to replace my 19inch tyres soon

Re: Windscreen wiper hitting pillar

So I pushed the wiper back over when we had the bout of snow a month back. Hasn't happened since but do have a chunk of paint missing from my pillar which I will need to touch up.

Re: High Mileage - OK or not?

Re: Windscreen wiper hitting pillar

I ordered some new wiper over Xmas and checked the ones on the car and they are the right size. Hasn't happened for a week or so. Hoping the problem has rectified itself but I'm sure I'm not that lucky.
