Right before I bought the car in 2016, the PO paid $1,450 for the dealer to replace the blower motor


So that's one job I hope to never get the pleasure of doing!

So would you want to donate that badge for a completely fried ride height controller?

I bought a fan motor and was expecting to learn the through the vent:radio method but after it arrived for no good reason when I swapped FSU on mine and wife’s cars they both are working

I didn’t return the blower because I figure having it keeps me from needing it

The mid bar is not there for vehicles with factory NAV.

Sometimes I forget that badges actually have "blue" not silver/white but to be honest badges over here are everywhere (compared to ride height controllers) and with my adventures in suspension work I'm almost tempted to re-badge the White Witch as a Lancia....

What actually I did to my x5 today was greeted with trifecta (red). Scanned codes and had both an intermittent power loss and also SES. Pulled up live SES angle and was frozen at zero.

Cleared codes got a worse SES error "internal fault".

Two or three times of clear fault restart car it finally cleared. After about 200’ of driving the trifecta went away. I'm going to have to get the repair kit for my SES before winter and I'm screwed

My bonnet (hood) badge looks worse than that after about 3 months of sitting under NZ's ozone hole...

And headlights take a hammering too - I gave mine the annual spring polish and protect today...



And before anyone asks, yes, the hood struts are tired. They are ok in the garage but outside like this, when there is a tail wind pushing the hood down, the hood can come down without warning!
