hi folks - some will have seen from my earlier posts that i'm picking up my new E92 next week, the dealer tried to sting me for another £399 for seal and protect which I knocked back but having read plenty of good reviews on the actual product I bought a kit on ebay for £19. I know i could do this myself but does anyone know of any BMW valeters or other pro's who could apply the hardwax, leather and carpet treatments for a decent price (Stockport/Greater M/cr area). i've heard the stuff can be a bugger to get off and so dont want to mess it up with the car being new.

cheers

could also use auto glyn resin polish, then extra gloss protection polish, also they do a alloy wheel sealer. all good products and would cost about £40 top whack.

Finally got round to applying the NME carpet and leather seal n protect stuff, took me 30mins to do the interior, gonna wait for a decent day now to apply the exterior hardwax which will also prob take less than an hr to do including the wheels once the car has been washed and dryed, plus the sense of achievement of having done it myself and not paid the dealer a ridiculous 400 quid for the task

      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.

      105C thermostat replacement

      As I understand the wiring diagrams and operation Item 9 on the thermostat housing is the sensor which sends its signal to the ECU for interpretation with information from the map sensor. Information from item 12 (1st drawing ) is also used to provide average temp across the cooling system. As far as I am aware the Thermostst is independent of the sensors and operated by expanding wax material internally
