  1. X5 owner in Kilmarnock
  2. OK-that seems to have solved it-mine does not have a towbar-so nothing is missing-thanks for the help chaps!
  3. Car does not have a towbar-keep the ideas coming!!
  4. I'll check tomorrow-still open to ideas?
  5. Anyone else got any ideas?
  6. My jack is clipped against the back of the boot-so can't be that-unless I have 2 jacks!!
  7. I've an E53 54 plate-what tool is missing from here? It's on the left hand side looking forwards and it's towards the rear of the car.
  8. My computer is saying "side light bulb needs replacing"-(front bulb gone-passenger side)-is this a DIY job or do I need to take it to a garage as its Xenon headlights? :(
  9. I bought a 4.8is a few months ago and it has been a great car with absolutely bags of power. I've had BMWs for 20 years now and this is the best one I've had.In the past I've had Alpinas (4.6 b10v8 and a C2 2.7) 540 estate,a couple of shark nosed 635s and a few 3 series. They cost a bit more than your average X5 to buy but I'm sure it would be worth it-happy hunting!
  10. I need to top up my engine oil (4.8is). I think the previous owner used Castrol Edge 5w30. What do you recommend?
  11. Sorted !!!! It was the SATNAV- I had changed it so that it picked up all Speed cameras--reversed it back so that no speed cameras detected and hey presto!!! Job done !!!
  12. Bought a set of Michelin Latitude Diamaris-according to Blackcircles they are the only ones that BMW recommend. Cost me £1000--the front and back are the same price through Blackcircles at the moment-2 weeks ago the rears were about £50 a tyre dearer!!!!
  13. Tried both of those but cannot get any menu which says "change language". Anyone got any more ideas?----Take it to a main dealer?
  14. I've recently bought an X5 4.8is and the computer is in FRENCH ! Sacre blue !! Instead of saying Hour it says "Heure" etc. I've looked through the booklet on the computer and it says that I should be able to change the language--but I cannot find it--there does not seem to be a heading for it. Anyone got any ideas????
