Good car that v70. A cousin had one and it was a great workhorse.

I bought the wife a 2003 320d a year ago 150bhp diesel. Just because it was a rare colour and all my 330s need work.
Put a hybrid turbo on it. 335d injectors. Big intercooler and some mapping. Over 250bhp and 400ibft.
But with 180k miles on it now its due a clutch soon so I think she'll be getting put in the Volvo till I do it

What's a crowed road? Rural Scotland. Okay the city is busy but its Aberdeen amd its 40 miles away. it's only small. Compared to growing up in Windsor.

X5 box has gone pop or about too.I'd pull the gearbox 'oot the X5 and rebuild it ready for if yours goes POP!
As far as iv been led to belive the x5 has a different rear casing as it has a transfer box without low box.
I know the chance with the box on this 140475 now it had one at 89k. So hopefully a box service and fluid buys me some time. If it makes 150k I may just have to order one with a t/c and an oil cooler just to have sat ready

Attacked my dash switches with feeler gauges.
No way they are coming out that way

Gloves, mate! You do enough spannering to get prolonged exposure. That **** is full of carcinogens. Make sure you wash your hands before you take a **** or you will really regret it.
Been there done that and had the same.

Thermostat done.
Running between 85 and 88° happily.
But.....
Then did a dial sweep in the test functions and found the gauge is sticky.
Few taps on the top of the dash
I'm taking a wild guess the pixel issue has been done and they've pushed the needle too far on and its hitting the paper back lay.

Didn't know Redex was still around! Used to take air filter off Dad's cars, pour Redex into the carbs, stand on accelerator and watch clouds of crud exiting the Exhaust!Fitted new Bosch wipers, added a few gallons of Petrol with some Redex, ready for MOT either this week or next!
