    Opinions on 3.0 D X5

    ...oh, also listen out for a whistling turbo if you are buying at that sort of milaege, I've had two X5's and the turbo does whistle a tad but if its shrieking and getting louder as you go through the rev range then walk away or negotiate against the price. budget circa 1.5k for replacement AFAIK these cant be reconned on that engine IMO cayenee is too juicy and no diesel version - keep us posted

    Opinions on 3.0 D X5

    yes nice cars, get a lower mileage one if you can, you will probably want to sort the headlight halos out with brighter ones and also google 'bmw swirl flaps' there is a design fault on the bmw diesel engines which causes the flaps to fail and be fed into the intake manifold - there is a DIY to remove them if you are handy around an engine. Also have a look at the CV boots, tend to fail at around 60k - theres tons of info on BMW land
  4. brilliant thanks for the reminder - would have missed it!

    Aliens?!

    trust the US to be spearheading this 'operation' next they will be saying they have proper proof they landed on the moon in the 70's Look forward to what they come up with!
  10. I would have knocked the sh1t out of him but stabbing the fecker is a bit harsh - depends what the circumstances were - no one deserves to die though imo. Thats why we dont have the death sentence
  11. also found this stuff http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROUGE-POWDER-GLASS-SCRATCH-REMOVER-100g-FREE-P-P_W0QQitemZ380166176787QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5883ab8013
  12. Apparantly it does work on glass too - could be worth a shot? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XERAPOL-Plastic-Glass-Scratch-Remover-Acrylic-Repair_W0QQitemZ260323421485QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3c9c7c2d2d
  13. I used XERAPOL on acrylic and it works like magic. I'm not sure if this would work on glass and if they have a coating then it may take this off as well.
  14. LMAO I think the matt black wrapping looks sh1te. Theres loads of porker cayennes DB9s and tractors around Chelsea where I work I quite liked the chrome sl though

    external turbo

    that thing is nuts!
  16. he HPI'd it and it came out all ok - he said he checked the chasis numbers etc but tbh he may have missed something as he isnt that astute when it comes to cars, I assume they will give it a new identity or move it out of the country or strip it for parts.
  17. So neighbour buys a 2008 golf from enfield, pays 5800 for it, well chuffed. Parks car on driveway next morning its disappeared:search: Reports to police, they said they will check with dealer about orders for spare keys (but he only got one main key with the car), police pays a visit to seller but cant do much and he says he knows nothing Oh and neighbour never transferred the insurance to new car either Gulp If it sounds to good to be true & all that...
