thanks for the complament , debating if I should use the stock rims for summer or the new to me winter rims I just got? they both look good. I was going to buy tires next year but I seen this deal and decided to go for it. tires alone would of costed more.

Got a bunch of cheap ebay 1156 led bulbs. tried them in porsche... they were less bright than halogens...

Tried in reverse lights.. disabled cold monitoring. But hot monitoring made error come up when putting in reverse so i was lazy and didnt wanna open up the PC again so i just put old bulbs back in

Yeah you gotta disable hot and cold monitoring but make sure the reverse bulbs are canbus if you don't have warm monitoring off.

I paid 40 bucks for my set on eBay and with only cold monitoring turned off they are error free and as bright as halogen. Pricey but worth it

Battery replaced in August when alternator died has been acting up. I had it tested & it was bad, replaced it figured while the car was that far apart I'd do the PDC in back, set to 4 sensor working fine. What a pita it was but worth it!

Replaced my nav screen, (and yes, took it all apart again to adjust the H-POS!) installed Soundplicity module and attached Specdock 2.5, and replaced the washer pump motor for the rear window, and finally have washer fluid on the rear window for the first time since the X is mine! Then open the hood and wrenched around in the engine bay, just check everything out, making sure everything is in place! Was out in my X most of the day, spent my day better than any day at work!

My first post.

I had to adjust the new screen I put in as well. 2 times the charm. Seems like many of the replacement screens were not factory tested as I have noticed a few comments on forums but once adjusted it's nice to have a clear screen again.

I got to do my fuel pump today! At a balmy -20C.. Cold got me working quick only took a couple hours. Worst part of that task getting the old pump out of it's mount and removing the hose from the pump. All looked original so 10 years out of a fuel pumps not bad. Running again and seems a bit more responsive!

FYI, I've read alot of threads about "Cranking but not starting". My symptom exactly and it happened without notice. Checked usual fuse, relay swapped with one from rear all no go. Listened for f/p priming and no sound with key to 2nd position so pump it was.

Nice start & welcome!

Front PDC are in. Easier than the back but still harder than it should have been thanks to the wrong bolts being installed & the passenger side hanger being broken. Ordered both hangers and will r&r when they come FROM GERMANY. GRRR

Had a 40 amp relay go bad that caused the nitrous to fire at 1/3 throttle.

Replaced the 2 40 amp relays with 60s and reprogrammed TPS full throttle trigger.
