Thanks guys. So far so good, always knew I would have to do a couple bits to it as let's be fair no second hand vehicle is perfect. The float in the water bottle is stuck down haha. That's first on the list

Hi and welcome!

I'm just on the border between Brox and Harlow so perhaps not too far away.

Enjoy your X5! :)

Hi and welcome to the forum

Good choice in a 4.4i, I would say that as I also have one but the X5 whichever model is a good car. Look forward to more details and pics of your car.

I am also based in Hertfordshire in Letchworth

Hi and welcome.

May you have plenty of enjoyable miles in your new beast.  The V8 sounds great.

Thanks guys, had a few good weeks so far with it. Came to prepare it today for a trip to the sea side over the weekend. On way to petrol garage tonight and the passenger side xenon has stopped working  :o
Will have to investigate when home.
