That being said... Why are you going to the stealers ?? Of course at $120 rate an hour ur wallet will come empty fast.

Mine had no problem because of 2 things : she sleep in the heated garage (5 degree) and connected to the smart chargers when not used for more than 3 days.

PS forgot to mentionned...My wife Mercedez Benz C serie 2012 Alternator has burn last week during the cold snap....30k Kil on the clock....
Tomorrow i'm going to check out both indy in Laval and the CAA towing guy gave me another supposedly very good indy in Repentigny.
If i keep them i'll need to empty the single space garage from the man toys in there (bikes) for next winter.

As soon as my wife's E70 comes back from her repair ( coolant expansion tank replacement 400$) I'll have mine go back in (at an Indy this time) for the 4x4 problem....

I've given it some thought about if I should sell the X's or not and this is what I came up with: If both my X can get me through what is left of winter without failing , then I'll keep them. The only reason I did not make the move already is that I'll have a tenant that is leaving in July and I won't be including the garage to the next tenant. I'll move my tools over there ( 5 min from home) so I can now do a lot myself all year round. If only my X's can behave til then....Sounds like a plan?

wait a minute, this is a NEW issue?

I mentioned to my cousin that i did some work on the truck today.....he said this truck is my life long project.

I keep getting my SELFLEVEL SUS light. I dont know what it is. I read somewhere where they it might be the level sensors...(my headlight stays on). Tomorrow im going to do the REPAIR KIT project to the air pump in the truck.

I feel your pain because you have two X5s.

Im here toying with buying a e39 5 series and sell my subaru legacy which gives me no problem, but im wondering if im asking for trouble in paradise.
