Since is a really dirty job, I took it to my local euro shop, they did not remove the axles just the end of it.

Finally wired up my angel eye harness. Still need to put together my headlight retrofit.
Retrofit 015 by MINIz guy, on Flickr Retrofit 014 by MINIz guy, on Flickr They're supposed to be white CCFL's but I spray tinted them yellow for a more OEM look. However, there isn't enough tint so it shined green; I hopefully fixed it by adding a few more coats of yellow.

changed Transmission fluid
Alright 142,294 miles. 50,000 miles on the trans fluid that was in there from last time. I used Mobil1 that is cherry red out of the bottle. The fist drain was black, black, black cherry, still felt very viscous/thick. You could barely see light through it when placed in a glass and held up to the sun, a few flakes of metal in the pan after dumping the oil in my recycle barrel.
I changed it 2 more time after running it through the speeds and reverse for about 1 cigar worth of time(my small cigars burn for 21 minutes). The pan holds 3.5 qts(10.5) then I go up top on the trans case and put in the last 1/2 qt (11 qts). The second drain was almost cherry red so the third fill replaces about 93% of the old fluid. Used 11 full qts of Mobil 1. This time I did not remove the pan so no filter or gasket. every other time I replace the filter and gasket. so, at 192K it will get a new filter. Today I am going to replace the valve cover gasket and the oil filter canister(?) gasket. First time for this vehicle shouldn't be a problem. |

Last week the X was idling rough, real rough. I heard a loud hissing sound from the back left side of engine bay. I thought one of the vacuum/air lines had come loose or torn. The next day the SES light came on. I used my handy dandy Torque App on my Android and bluetooth adapter and got the P0171 and 74 codes. Today I finally got time to check it out. Found out the DISA was broken to hell inside. Ordered it from NE dealer online for $173. Least expensive place I found it. Will replace on Tuesday when it arrives.
