Hi, Have a ‘04 X5. Has been running fine, including a decent road trip over Matariki with no issues at all. Then two nights ago I went to bring it up the drive and I got nothing from it - dash lighted up, no errors, battery fully charged, it didn’t even sound like it was trying to turn over. Went back outside a couple of hours later and it started fine. Over the 24hrs no issue for almost half a dozen starts, was running around town fine until the last trip to get home and it wouldn’t start again. Went back to the supermarket a couple of hours later it started without any hesitation (and again this morning). Any ideas, anything I can check myself, or is it just a case of taking it somewhere and getting them to run diagnostics? Thanks!

They are a great car! Mine is 2006 and just about to hit 84,000kms, so still has a bit of life in it yet. Ive decided against run flats, but will stick with the stock setup of 225/45/17 and 255/40/17. So far have received a quote for Nankangs but not really sure what else is out there at a similar price point. Anything around the $500/600 mark per tyre is feels excessive given the age and value of the car...

Hi @joelwtk what did you go for in the end and are you happy with them 6 months later? I need a replacement set and have the same wheels / tyre configuration that you posted. Thanks!
