What was the part cost / saving? (Not factoring in the 2 days of work & tools required).

Thank you. The evaporator was around £100/= a friend was coming from UK and he bought it along.

On farm duty as the scorpio had gone for service

I love every post of yours on this thread. My S class boot is often filled with farm produce and similar inappropriate cargo

Are you a farmer too or purchase farm fresh food

It is a small farm, like a hobby project having a lot of sentimental value. Seeing a BMW on a farm duty is pretty special to me, two of my fav things in the same frame

On a lighter note, this pic may soon become a political WhatsApp forward during elections!

Close to buying a 2009 X5 in Bangalore

I am not capable of DIY - is there a shop in Bangalore that can do X5 jobs?

Hi, a 2012 e70 is home.

Also, anyone knows where I can buy CHF 11s fluid in Bangalore? Apart from Amazon?

Hi Vivek, so did you buy the X5, what engine ?

Fantastic side profile - but an almost comical set of kidney grills; those triangled kidneys I guess are an attempt to look extra mean, but just end up looking cheap (Austin powers almost)

Hi Sem80,
That's a major A/c work on the BMW. A friend of mine in Rathlam has an X1 with a unique A/c cooling problem a couple of months back with erratic cooling performance. He checked with the dealership in Indore & they estimated him big amount. He was quite sceptical on entrusting them the job. Let me check if he has resolved it, else will seek you guidance.
