Insulated oil separatot kit - is there a part/kit number? is it 11-15-1-705-237? Or something else?

Gee, now I have to check my papers to make sure that I got the correct Moscow... Well, I am not sure if VT requires first aid kit, triangle and extinguisher, so I think, that would be Moscow, MAZERLAND RUSSIA!!!...

lol...

Rotors are relatively new, one pad life old and now into second set of pads. The seats are heated, all 4 corners. The heated steering wheel write up is excellent, but I will probably engage into this once in Moscow.

I got 4 new tires that I will put on just before departure, Yokohama Avan ST. I think, there is winter tire requirement in Russia, so I'll be on the market for a set winter shoes, probably in 19 or 18 inch rims.

Right CV boot was replaced 2 years ago, left one got done about a month ago.

I am sitting with a dead alternator, so will change the alternator, will get the thermostat and the water pump, also will get the front suspension overhauled (local roads killed the suspension!!). will do spark plugs, air filters, will get fresh coolant when pump/alternator will get replaced, will change pump alternator belt, A/C belt...

collant hoses, power steering hoses, oxygen sensors - can you elaborate more on those, please...

Talking to a local stealer makes no sense - they quoted brake pads at $1200, alternator at $2500, they sell an 8-cylinder X5 (2007 model) for $150,000 US$ brand new, + taxes, no 3rd row, no Navigation, premium, sport. So, I can imagine, for all the work that I am considering, it would be easier to buy a new X5 in the States than fix the old one in here... lol... But I am madly in love with the old one, it is only 2002... I might be ready to sell it in 2012, no sooner...
