Hi all just a quick one has anybody on here had experiance with FAE parts ?? the reason I ask is .as some of you know Ive done a lot of work on my X3 over the last year ..and have basically cured all problems apart from a missfire i get normally when she,s warmed up and under load. After doing loads ...

sounds like its getting harder and harder to maintain new-ish vehicles think if my X3 packs in ill either give up driving or buy some thing pre 2005 or even earlier ... and as fro the emissions...well since reaching the over 60s era my emissions certainly shouldnt be messed with excuse the pun ..

yeah agree there ..mind you its not so much the parts ( stents ) its all the drugs you have to take to reprogram ya body . .thought it was bad enough on the car

Ok im not aware of a vacuum tank .i know the vacuum pump at the front runs across front of engine to and under the inlet manifold ( t offs to swirl flap and aforementioned unit )across back to servo but ive not seen any tank .
