All done then, I will pm the tracking number for courier, got your details thanks!

Hi Rob, pm'd you with info.

Sorry for late response, been doing the family pre Christmas run over the weekend and just catching up 

No E53's out there needing rear bushes?

Around the 70k mark and unless you have done it already or changed for poly bushes then now is the time.

Give me a shout if you are interested, cheers.

Forgot to mention, if you are in Essex or nearby I can do the job for you at a very reasonable price 

Hi folks,

Not been here for a bit and on a garage tidy up found the bush tool.

Only used once when I had the 4.4 and I can't begin to tell you what a difference new subframe bushes made to the handle and feel.

I'm after a measly £120.00 delivered to UK address, it cost double that as you may ...

As a vulture can I have the oil cooler please....

Hi all,

It's been a short while since the X5 was taken on by a new owner, just stopped by for a hello!

Got a 2000 5 series 2.8 to tide me over for now, well specced and a tidy example for much cheapness.

PM sent Lee reference the bushes

Cheers

I've had one offer so far to buy it, I'll give it a couple of days before deciding.

Cheers.

Another thought, I would be happy to offer my services to swap out anyone's E53 subframe bushes for a nominal fee ;)

The task is a two knuckle rating, plus a tendon and optional scuff, backache inclusive.

If you imagine working on an average family car and double it you're getting close.... 4 ...

Howdy folks, as the title suggests I am selling my Franklin bush tool since I no longer have any use for it.

The tool was purchased a couple of months ago and since I have just finished replacing all four bushes on my 2001 E53 it needs a new home.

Original cost £200 but as I have saved a few ...

5w 40 synthetic, nice but about 80 to 100 quid

Agree the payback is going to take a while, but tbh it made a big difference to the last house we were in, just prior to moving and I wanted the best score on the now defunct HIP. The upstairs radiators were turned way down and I was impressed with the additional sound proofing, it surprised me how ...
