Did you manage to diagnose what the noise was? Brake disc/calliper or suspension possibly? Not really the kind of thing you want when your on such a long journey, sounds like you managed to get home ok though 👌
Well not entirely. I had a mechanic look it over and he said the brake calliper retaining clip was loose so he sorted that but he said he could see no evidence of grinding. The car has been sat up for a bit as for some reason the air suspension went on one side too. That’s at the back though so unrelated we think. I got the same guy to replace both air bags and put in a new park brake. Really good guy actually that comes out and does it on your drive way. The tyre that went flat just before we left has done that again now so that needs repairing. I picked up a cheap old Audi Q7 as I assumed this was going to be a long process of fixing all the bits on the BMW and that I think might be worse than the X5 lol. I’ve done a video of me going to get it on the train which I need to edit. I’m not having much luck with cars but the guy thinks the BMW is now ok apart from the tyre and he said to use some DPF cleaning fluid first to see if it clears the EGR stuff which I’ve yet to do. Weather has been pretty rubbish over here which hasn’t helped with things. I might do a short video of a trip cleaning the DPF and see whether we get any other weird issues. He did also reconnect the air intake as that had come loose and might have been the noise we had approaching Prague. It’s definitely a weird car.
@@emzfamily I’ve had an f15 x5 was a good car but very thirsty so didn’t keep it long, a very good long distance mile muncher I bet though. Yes q7 video sounds interesting keep up the videos all very interesting stuff !
