Hi all

Thought I'd finally take the plunge and join the club. Check out the link Pictures by gavinj64 - Photobucket for pics of my 2005 3.0D and let me know what you think.

I've had the car a year now and love it. Current mods include software and decat so I'm sitting on +/- 200kw She pulls like a train and I've given a couple of Boy racer types quite a scare. I have a few dead pixels in my Sat Nav display, so next up is a fix for that plus fitting my CK100 car kit and Denison IPod controls while the unit is being repaired.

Looking forward to connecting with the folks.

Welcome. Car looks great. Really like the white on black.

Search the forum for navi lcd replacements. There is a guy out in HK that will ship out replacement screens. The repair is fairly easy after that.

@Sockethead - Yip, I did the Dinoc work. I'm actually going to be hydro dipping the interior in black carbon fibre. Setting up at home and just waiting for the elements for my dipping tank. Can't wait

Thanks Mate - I have a quote of ZAR1600 ($200) to repair. If it can't be repaired, I will get in touch with Eurotek in HK.

Alpine White is a great color for the X5.

Obligatory joke:Hey, your steering wheel is on the wrong side.
