I'm starting to think I could be waiting for months to find the 'right' buyer, and house completion imminent (next week) I will need a van next week. :( I have an offer of £8500 cash for the car this weekend (well I wouldn't accept shares, lollipops or bottle tops! :D ) although it kills me and ...

Now on Autotrader for £9450........ will accept £9250.

Updated and pics added

X5 still for sale. I'll avoid ebay when I advertise it and go with the Gumtree / Pistonheads / Autotrader route I think.

£9750 ono.

Thanks for the advice, I may well just do that as there's lots of interest but just not the early bidding activity. I know when I was looking back in December you just couldn't find an exclusive spec with the wider arches, wheels and options etc.. for anywhere near where it's at. in fact only a ...

Nope....  :-[ The weird thing is, when I tried to put a reserve on it at the weekend the listing fees went up to £76!!!  so I thought balls to that. If I try now it only goes up to £17.99 from £10.99 so that one has me a bit stumped.

I might have to pull it and re-list with a reserve  >:(

Unfortunately and much to my regret I have to sell the X5 :( I'm in the middle of buying a new house down south which requires a refurb' and I'll need to buy a van to do this, I can't justify running the X5, the 840 and a van. (I may even need to sell the 8 series as the garage is too small :cry1 ...

All done, about 30 mins per side, didn't need to remove the arch liner as it was the balljoint/wishbone I changed.

That's the one Graeme,  many thanks,  I knew there was a clip hiding in the bumper somewhere I needed to remove. Now I won't break it and off I go.
Cheers, Jon

Hey all, I've been busy with a new baby for a few months and neglected the x5 which has the usual wobble braking from 60 ish. So I'm going to change the front rear wishbones. There was a brilliant how to on here which some kind soul wrote but I can't for the life of me find it, anyone know where it ...

Tank to tank fill up results: (I keep a spreadsheet of all fuel costs, keep receipts, and record mileage for business expense purposes. Luckily these can be used give actual mpg figures :) ) I'm surprised by the actual improvement now the maths in in front of me!! just goes to show the OBC can be ...

Cheers Condor, luckily my error message was a one off but it may be the start of something to come

good luck with your at the weekend! 

Thanks for that, now I know about those inputs in the centre console. I'll have a look for the glove box or footwell aux input and if not there just opt for the bale, or I might go with one of the CD changer replacement IPOD thingys which gives me control from the steering wheel.

Thanks again

Hi Condor, what was the outcome of the self leveling suspension issue? I ask as today I got the self leveling susp inactive message. I hoping it goes away when I leave work :D and I'm putting it down to being parked overnight on a very uneven car park with the back end 600mm higher than the front ...

Afternoon all, I've been reading a few articles on the Aux input retrofit for external audio devices and this has me confused. I just tried to connect my ipod to the E53 via the 'Already Existing' Aux input on the back of the centre console, now I'm sure I used to also do this with my old V8 X5 too ...
