Hi everyone I was wandering if anyone could possibly help me again? I was told that my X5 should lock automaticly when I get to 5mph. The guy that told me this said if this isn't happening,I would need to take her in to a main stealers and get them to programme the key as this is how it is triggered? :unsure: Could someone please tell me if this is true and if so if there is any way for me to programme it myself? Thanks guys Alan...

Hi Stevie I also have a 2006 X5 3.0 Diesel Sport. TBH at first I wasn't to sure about the engine in such a big machine so was toying with the 4.4L Petrol but when I test drove the 3.0D I have to say as Andy sayed the pull of it all the way from stop right up is excellent esp with the box in S mode. :D I was well impressed with the pulling power and the torque touch hairy wood but since I have had her I've had no problems with it at all(fingers crossed)lol

Hey Andy I just noticed that the links I have posted up you are a member on the forum and have allready comented on one of the posts about my wee bros car... B)

Hi Andy here's a couple of links to a site called detailing world it's my younger brother first one is of him doing a quick wash after a full detail the products we use are all in the threads! http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=177670 http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=200331 And the second is of him finishing of after washing etc again all products etc are in the link we are going to do a full detail hopefully this weekend if not next weekend when I get her up to proper standard I'll get a few pics up. And here's how it was explained to me to reset the service light it says oil light but it's the exact same for the service also cool... Turn the ignition to "0" Press and hold odometer button and turn the ignition to "1". Hold odometer button pressed for approximately 5 seconds until the display shows: "Inspektion Re / Release and press odometer button again until Reset flashes Release and press odometer button shortly. Release and press odometer button again. The next service interval will be shown and will disappear. Look forward to seeing some pics of the car detailed Andy! 8) Thanks and I hope this info is usefull to you mate as I said it worked for me. :D Alan

Thanks a lot for your help guys it's really appreciated... B) And thanks for the pic Andy I think it will be the same as mine. ;) So it's just a case of picking the oil,filter,air filter plugs etc up and getting on with the service I found a post on google somewhere on how to reset the service indicator and yep it worked fine I tried it last night using the key and pressing the oddometer and I'm sure it says that it wont come up again till the next service is due. I'll get the service done then I'm going to get stuck in on the detailing side so as soon as I've gave her a proper detail I'll get some pics up!!! :D Thanks Alan...

Hi I own a 2006 3.0L Diesel X5 I am due to do a service on it and was wandering if anyone could help me I have seen Castrol GTX 10-40W Oil it says on the bottle that it is suitable for diesel or petrol engines could anyone please tell me if it is okay to use this? Just I've never seen an oil before that can be used in both petrol and diesel engines! Also could someone tell me what is involved in removing the sump plug i.e. do I have to remove the sump guard or is there a hole there for easy access to the plug I know I could just jack it up and have a look but was just wandering if anyone could tell me? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. :D Thanks in advance Alan.
