12mm combination spanner?

Sounds right 😂...the x5 is a hell of a good heavy speed tool but off road ...maybe some grass or a gravel track ...thats about it !

I went to a show a couple of years ago in Cheshire and the local Plod where there with a new X5, RR P38 from the Heritage Fleet and a 10 year old Defender. He said the X5 was cheaper, more economical, reliable, faster, more comfortable and...

Reminds me of the early German version before the K-wagon ?

In my non expert opinion the original number has been ground off and a new one stamped on

Little known fact. Bantam based their original 'jeep' on Austin 7 components.

Hmmm. They might be slow, noisy, etc etc but my series have saved my arse and my families over the years, series got the wife to hospital while having sprog 1 in thick snow when my new merc amg died, got us through flash floods in Spain and...

Well done and thanks for letting us know.

Hi everyone! While I was busy with locating the "fuse" problem, I happened to find another problem and was able to fix it! From the beginning, my Freelander with the L-Series diesel was not exactly a rocket. I had no comparison and took it as it...

Hello ...just joined this site ! I have owned a Bmw x5 e70 40d 2010 for 5 years now and just about to add a fl2 to the fleet. The x5 is really a big road suv. The suspension is too stiff for anything more than a gravel track especially with 20"...

If you except the Series for what it is then it's a good vehicle. A good original LWB Series 1 is a nice drive.

It is a vehicle designed nearly 80 years ago based on the WW2 Jeep. Both are still one of the best off road. Not many other vehicles that have their base from that era still in use today. Long live the Series.

Air suspension all day, dead reliable, how often do you hear of d2/d3/4/rr with suspension problems, thats right never!

New vehicles are bloody awesome, until they go wrong and they will go wrong and cost a fortune each and every time!

Depends on your definition. In terms of safety, economy, ergonomics. Yes, crap. In terms of long term ownership, resilience, dependability, avoidance of fragile electronics, and simplicity they are excellent. And coil springs aren't as good...

Has it had a replacement screen fitted since it packed up? There is a module in the steering column for the wheel switches, but if other stalks/buttons are working, doubt it’s that.

Checked the fuse for the rain sensor? (F1 in the passenger side foot well)

To be fair that sounds like a relay issue ... have you tried having a swap around see what changes ?

Thanks for tagging me, I might find out why my automatic wipers don't work. What I'd like to know is, can they be configured by diagnostics to operate as good old intermitted rather than automatic - cos automatic is pants.

Doubt very much if it’s the BCM… Do the other wiper functions work?

may help

The retaining screw is to ground the receiver against possible electromagnetic interference, the item’s functional earth is within the loom, possibly a black wire.
