Tim,

Yes I had the 3 way switch to control the ride height, I have however disposed of the car...on a Saturday morning we noticed that the car's low waterlevel came on again...after I had filled it up earlier in the week...that was for me the signal to get another car....yep you guessed it...another X5 ..this time a 2008 4.8 it is a total departure from the old one. I am glad I dont have to deal with the issues of the old one anymore. Hopefully we will have better luck with this one.
Thanks for responding though....

Ben
