I purchased this X5 knowing it needed work and during the “shutdown” it kept me busy and almost out of trouble! I was a Mechanic/MOT Tester for many, many years and still enjoy “tinkering”

Back to the car, since I bought it I have.......

Replaced the troublesome rear Air Suspension with Coil Springs that I imported from the USA , now a nicer ride and no worries of Air Leaks.

Replaced various Suspension Arms, drives with no bangs or clonks!

Had 4 Wheel Laser alignment carried out so all good

CV Boot replaced.

DISA Valve replaced due to a Air Leak diagnosed with my smoke machine,

Engine now running great.

LPG checked over and is running fine, LPG Fuel Gauge is not too accurate but I don’t think many are, I use the mileometer.

A Full Service with genuine BMW Oil Filter. Spark Plugs, Air and Cabin Filters also changed and good quality Engine Oil.

Various interior parts replaced that were showing signs of wear. MOT until November.

Purchased a Spare Wheel as I hate having to rely on an aerosol for a flat tyre!

She now looks, drives and performs 100%, it’s extremely comfortable and economical! 

Downside... there is a scratch on the Rear Door, hardly noticeable, bit of wear on Drivers Seat, hardly surprising with the mileage, 171000. I think that’s it.

So there it is, a cracking car that has the bullet proof straight 6 Engine, pulls like a train and has a smooth gear change. Economical with the LPG  and it’s so comfortable. 
Price......difficult as was going to keep it a while due to the LPG but £2750 o.n.o. Seems Fair?

I’m near High Wycombe, retired so viewing available almost anytime. Could deliver for Fuel and Train Fare home if it helps.

Well done Martin

That looks very good for the price you are asking.

Not my cup of tea but I'm sure it won't stay unsold for long.

Cheers

John

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.

      105C thermostat replacement

      Not sure what engine your running but there should be a Temp sensor in the Hose from the Rad to the water pump then there should be a Temp sensor in the housing for the Thermostat Both are shown in realoem for the 3.5 V8 I thought the V8 was the only one with dual use sensor on the Thermostat housing but stand to be corrected Dave

      105C thermostat replacement

      I have checked realoem and it gives me no temperature sensor option , which is strange. Also what I did was to remove the map thermostat and disconnected the resistance heating that is inside the thermostat and replace it with a 88C from an x5. Nothing else has been changed. The strange thing is that it run like that for 3 weeks in August. When I start the car last week the temperature dial was going to max before dropping to normal value. And that happened only when cold. When warm the dial was showing the right temp. I also saw that the map for the thermostat was engaged when the car was running cold which made me think that there may be a connection between the thermostat dial and the map thermostat not being connected.
