Xoutpost.com - What did you do to / for your E53 today??

Took a pic of a door panel pin. Ordering a few to secure the right front door panel. A few extra for future use. Glued back the primary holding forward panel pin.

My previous attempt at fixing the switch in the gearshift mechatronics failed [emoji90][emoji90][emoji90][emoji2959][emoji2959]

I have now had the joy of part swapping it over the course of 4 hours in 48c heat. I did have shade and my outdoor swamp cooler [emoji3060][emoji3060]

We'll see if my used replacement part is good for now and for later...[emoji1696]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0875f90163.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...379f42b891.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...026d65fe0a.jpg

I've seen 60c here once.

Thought I saw the devil walking away saying "screw this" and buying ice cream.

When I had the aux fan out yesterday, I did have a look at the radiator fins and aside from a few bugs, it looked fine.

Should be the water pump hoping the impeller isn't shattered.

Any chance you have air in your coolant causing loss of efficiency?

(You would notice loss of heating also)

I checked the coolant level one morning on the road before starting it and it is at the proper level. Nothing changed other than the fan clutch in Minnesota. That's where the problem started.

New engine mounts. Didn't see much of wrong with the old one's and didn't solve vibration issue at idle while in d or r.

Left side was quite easy too. Lifted up the engine as much as possible and lowered subframe and then had to twist engine a bit transmission lift to get it out. :D

Yep, gotta try to change idle. But eventhough they where compressed, it didn't change much.
