A few of months ago, I had Braybrooks expertly install a Pioneer sph-da77dab for £850, and it has been working well ever since. With options for Standard, Bose, and Harmon Kardon audio, as well as different versions of the command, NTG, and ancillaries (CD changer, phone, satnav, etc.) installed, it may get difficult as to what has to be added, uninstalled, or bypassed. So, you'll need to do a significant amount of study. You can find all the necessary components at InCar Tec or a similar store if you're handy; however, any 6.8-inch double-din head unit would serve as a suitable substitute for the pioneer (at least in my opinion; I must admit, I'm not that knowledgeable about vehicle audio, which is why I opted for Braybrooks). In addition to being more accessible than Braybrooks, the command staff online are well regarded. It would be wise to enquire about their capabilities in installing aftermarket head units.

Hello everyone, What do you think about replacing the outdated head unit in our 2003 SL500 with a newer model that has Bluetooth and Carplay? The existing command unit is the original, with a Nokia cellphone that is hardwired into the center console; regrettably, there is no plug-in module available. I am thankful.

In regards to the shock absorbers.

That makes perfect sense. My next concern is if these are easily accessible for inspection and where exactly are they installed. They should preferably be accessible with a trolly jack and stands because I don't have access to a ramp.

Before you install them, make sure the ride height sensors work.

After a few minutes of driving, I swear my low beams become lower, like they illuminate less of the road ahead. I might be dreaming, but I really doubt it. They get up and dance, and then continue on as usual. Then, as I continue to drive, I can almost feel the illuminated road drawing nearer to the vehicle. Every time I turn active lighting on and off, the main beam works just fine, and I never get any problem warnings. Whatever is wrong with this vehicle must be related to its always-great lighting. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, and if so, what's the likely culprit? I am selling a 2012 W204 250.

😁

It's surprising; I feel foolish for ignoring the numerous problems with these, but I'm hopeful the repair will extend their useful lives.

From my experience, the lowest mileage at which they have failed on an ex-MOT vehicle is 1500.

Any respectable auto box specialist worth their salt would have worked on Aisin gearboxes in the past, and they should also be familiar with the problems that the BMW variation has, so I don't see why this repair can't be relied upon. You may rest assured that any gearbox supplied by a BMW dealer will be a refurbished one.

Greetings, everybody. I am seeking guidance. For the most part, my 2018 20d x1 has been experiencing gearbox problems. Strength training. Slamming every known problem with the 8-speed Aisin gearbox. It has been serviced by a gearbox expert today and is covered by the dealer's warranty. Their assessment is that the gearbox requires disassembly and reconstruction. Can we trust this repair? I was hoped this vehicle could make it to 80,000 miles. It has barely done 40,000 so far. Anyone who can offer assistance or guidance would be much appreciated.

Very much so when I received mine! Hear it 😉

I've no doubt that you'll love it and grin the whole way.

in honour of the magnificent evoque and our dear forum friend

💞

I just got my hands on an Evoque. Adore this ride. Why I never got one before is a mystery to me.

Behold, the essence. What I mean is that changing the suspension might be incredibly risky and expensive with little noticeable benefit. A little adjustment to the wheels might be done for next to nothing and with little actual danger.

The ancient adage goes something like, "A hiding to nothing," meaning that you'll spend a lot of money with no return and much more hidden fees.

What do you mean by "hiding to nothing"? The breaker and whatever else sells them may be someone to enquire, I suppose. The only thing I would do differently is to hope that they are buckled or cracked.

On many occasions, the sale of ridiculously large wheels and tires has resulted in substantial savings compared to the cost of shipping them. However, before purchasing, be sure to inspect the tread depth and date stamp of the tires. Changing the entire suspension system is a waste of time, particularly on older vehicles.
