Hi guys, Does anyone know if the X350 door mirror complete assembly is interchangeable with the later X358 door mirror assembly. I have seen a picture of a 2003 X350 with the later X358 mirrors fitted. But would they fit straight on without having to drill new holes in the door frame? And will the w...

Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me if the Bosch electric window motors on the X350/X358 are interchangeable with the X type ones, they are identical in size and design, with the fixing holes in the same places, same number of teeth on the nylon drive sprocket, and with the same electrical connector.

Hi Brian, Thanks for your reply. Thats certainly a possible cause. I have taken your tip and cleaned all the discs with 99% alcohol, and so far the system is working fine.

Can anyone tell me if the adjustment can be done by jacking up the door and slackening off the bolts where the hinges are attached to the body. Access to the bolts is tight so it looks like a ratchet spanner might just work, but I don't w...

Hi The trim you refer to is Anodised Aluminium (sometimes spelt Anodized) whichever dictionary you refer to. It is the Anodised coating which goes milky with age. I used to have an electro plating company and have re plated these parts off the car in the past. Re plating is very difficult because th...

Hi, Thanks for your response. Yes I have read the article you mention, and mentioned it to my specialist who does all the work on my car. Unfortunately the engine system reflash did not cure my problem. I have another X350 4.2 V8 Petrol which I have owned for 15 years having 74k miles on the clock, ...
