Rude?

I am a particular fan of the M-Sport rims (Tuning-Fork) ;)

You can have Staggered and/or static dish in most formats.

Depends on whether you want aftermarket or BMW/Shnitzer/Hartge rims mukka

Thanks dabsy. Also when i turn my on when its cold seems to make a random noise and the engine revs to about 2k. I got told this is normal due to having a timing chain. But just want a second opinion

Random noise? Is it like the starter fluttering?

Mine revs high at start-up, I will be sorting it out next week (With Pics), sometimes it can be a mismatch of info between ICV, MAF and ECU - Or even poor engine breathing... We'll sort it, Aaron ;)

The Black Pearl... :lol:

This noise happens for a couple of reasons... Cranking power too good, or tooth(s) missing from ring-gear (flywheel) !! I wouldn't worry if she starts up mukka !!

      3.0i starter motor

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.
