Hello one and all, I have just joined.

The reason why I have joined is that I have just started to look around buying another car and this time I am tempted to look out for an X3, so in actual fact I told a fib when I enrolled as I don't actually own one yet!!

Basically I am having a battle with my most beloved, she wants me to buy a LandRover Freelander whereas I want to buy either an X3 or a 3 series touring of which I wouldn't be wanting to go for any of the latest designs as I far prefer the looks of the model that ran up to 2004.  And I would only be wanting to go for a diesel version.

So basically I am looking to find out the good, the bad and the ugly aspects of owning either.

All the best

Hi Phil, welcome!

The freelander is an OK car (assuming you avoid the early K series versions) but it's not a patch on the driving experience you'd get from an X3 or 3 series.

Also, an equivalent X3 looks a lot more modern in my opinion than the freelander of that era.

      Rear View mirror has come off windscreen screen

      Never experienced this before but the rear view mirror has seemingly parted company from the windscreen. It seems that a round metal disk should be glued in some way to the windscreen and then the plastic housing can be put back. Any experience/instruction out there on how best to go about reattaching this?

      Register new battery

      Morning Steve Where did you get the Battery ? they should have the code. When you say " upgrading " the battery be careful fitting an overrated battery can cause as many issues as a failing one. The correct battery for your car I believe is either a 90ah or 92ah AGM type also check the CCA (ColdCranking Amps) matches I have never used Foxwell to register a Battery only ISTA/INPA but I don't recall needing a 12 digit code just confirmation of the Battery type Have you checked online for any Video help there is a lot out there these days Dave

      BMW M4 seats / Can they be installed in a 1 series

      Morning Kieran Welcome to the Forum This is a new problem, I would start with the power supply where have you taken it from ? If you haven't already I would check a wiring diagram for both models to see where the power was arranged in the M4 and check whether that supply is available in the 140 model. Then check www.realoem.com to see if there are repair/replacement looms available. Your description sounds like a relay is tripping in the power feed Good luck with finding the issue let us know how yoy get on Dave
