Do you have a starting point for the wheels, i dont want to offend

Yes Kris its the large holes, the clips are quite far in & they require a decent amount of force to allow airbag out, i used a T-20 torq screwdriver as it has a large flat surface to push with as opposed to a sharp point on a plain screwdriver. I went for the carbon fibre film wrap on mines http ...

Fuses are good, nightmare, looks like a garage job!

but my outside temp has started working again.

According to my outside temperature reading it has been a steady 16.5 degrees in Aberdeenshire for a week now, day or night, rain or shine, anybody seen this before?? know of a fix??? Also using this post tohopefully get some ideas (without being charged 80 quid an hour at BMW) as to why both heated ...

must be a link between the 2 seats as they have both stopped working at the same time today. When i switch either of them on all 3 lights come on for a second and then both switch off again, Could not find a fuse for heated seats only and cant find anything else on the motor that does not work. Any ...

Thanks Shaun for the link, that confirms the part number i had.

Thanks for advice & links guys, got the offending one out with no real probs, nice & simple on the rears!!! off to order replacement now.

Hi all, I am after some advice again, on park sensors this time. I have been having intermittent probs with PDC sensors working then not working for a couple of weeks now, but all day today they have been on the blink, so i have done some homework on them and i listened to all the sensors seperatley ...

Thanks folks, it was as simple as you's said, turned the key to on with out starting left for a minute and it dissapeared - Happy days. I also checked with my mech and he confirmed the 2 sensors were 1 front & 1 rear, i mis understood it when he told me of what he had fitted during the repair ...

Cheers Sanj but the front discs & pads were cleaned up & replaced as they were not worn, so i figured it was the rears that triggered the warning, should the warning just dissapear once the system thinks all is well, or is there need to be plugged into some BMW machine to put the light off???? Both ...

Hi everyone, Check brake lining warning showed up last week, so booked in yesterday, and sure enough rear brake drums / discs / shoes worn, so replaced all rear brakes / shoes / Pads & both rear brake sensors, everything working well but the warning on the dash remains, how do i get the message away ...

Cheers for the reply guy's, I have done alot of research but as usual on forums there are conflicting stories, I suppose i was just looking for someone to say "yes they fit with spigot rings only as I have done this myself" Or "no they wont fit as they rub the arches" I looked at Sharpies post from ...

Been reading up on spiggot rings, offsets & the like & think i now have it sussed out, but i would just like confirmation on the following info: X5 E53 = PCD 5x120, centre bore 72.5mm and M14x1.5 bolt thread. ET 40-45 X5 E70 = PCD 5x120, centre bore 74.0mm and M14x1.25 bolt thread. ET 37-53 X6 E71 ...

IMHO I think you will have better response if you give an impression of what sort of money you are looking for? I am in the market for a set of wheels, I dont want to offend with an offer that you think is unreasonable.

Le mans blue / black Nappa :hattip: if i had the patience i would have waited longer to find one in the spec i wanted, but i settled for a low milage silver one As for your age, good on you, i respect your choices, I did lots of drinking & other stuff round that age so i had to wait till my 30's to ...

I've read other posts on it, and blunt inplements is the way to go i think (not tried it yet) so not to scratch / dig into soft metal, i think lift an edge with a table knife then roll / push grommet to one side to "pop" the oversized under body of the grommet - that's how i read it anyway, home ...
