Updated my other inactive suspension thread if anyone is interested in the outcome

Belated welcome to the 4.8is brigade - its not the best colour though because mine is
I absolutely love mine - a joy to drive even if it costs a fortune to fill up and keep warrantied etc etc.

Funny the fuel doesn't bother me got a 300tdi discovery that does about 22mpg (pump fettled) and had a
Remapped s4 which did 21 so it's not that bad fuel wise.

Now mechanical issues may be different discovery never goes wrong changed oil and filter 3 times in 100k now on 130k and overdue a cambelt but it's fine.

Funny washed x5 3 times in 2 weeks washed discovery about 10 times in 10 years and felt so guilty I washed the headlights after washing the x5

I would stick to once a year with Disco, it'll allow it to dry out inside again......

I do get ice on the inside of the windscreen when it's cold

I must get around to spraying my grills silver every time I see X5Drivers picture it reminds me to get it done it looks so much better than the black ones on my car.

I do think it works well with our colour x's, sure you'll get there soon braver than me as i always worry about painting anything especially plastic stuff

Did mine 2 years ago - no special paint used and I didn't key the grille to take the paint. Still on there and miles better than in black.

Well I finally got round to it I hope I have guessed the right colour silver

More pics when they are back on the car
