There will be a lot of fellow frugal people in the cheapest ones. 🙂

I have scheduled an appointment with Ford on Thursday for a second opinion; I will inform you of the outcome. I appreciate it.

I installed a new expansion tank and a new cap from Ford last Friday. What is occurring is utterly foolish. Rearranging a pressure assessment once more. I appreciate it.

Affirmative. Conducted a coolant pressure assessment with the engine at elevated temperatures, maintaining a pressure of 10 psi. We are conducting an additional pressure test to verify that nothing was overlooked.

I have no clue regarding the whereabouts of the coolant! We discovered that the pipe connecting the thermostat to the expansion bottle was defective!! I substituted it; I will ascertain today (Sunday) whether the pipe is the culprit!! I appreciate it.

Greetings. I possess a 2015 ST diesel engine with 185 horsepower. Encountered a problem with coolant loss; replaced the radiator, EGR cooler, thermostat, and installed a complete timing belt kit, utilizing entirely new components. When driven normally, it operates well; however, under aggressive driving, it overheats and continues to lose coolant, despite a pressure test indicating the head gasket is intact. Has anyone encountered this? I appreciate it.

Purchasing an inexpensive charger might ultimately be more costly; I would recommend opting for a product offered by your energy provider to ensure reliable support in case of any issues. If your energy provider does not present a favourable offer, simply switch to one that does; it is not as if you are experiencing a complete charger malfunction that requires immediate resolution. Examine the offerings of EDF, Octopus, and others, then conduct a comparative analysis of their energy tariffs, including the daily fee (I utilised an Excel spreadsheet for this, and it clearly indicated the most advantageous option at that time; I am uncertain if it remains so and need to reassess.) I would dedicate some time to exploring all your alternatives; it may be somewhat tedious, yet it is quite gratifying in numerous ways when you can distinctly observe your savings. If you wish to transition to Octopus, I possess a referral code that will provide us each with £50 in credit.

It is advantageous if your energy provider can facilitate integration into their systems, allowing you to utilise it as a smart charger; otherwise, it is not significantly superior to a conventional charger.

If it is located in the garage, an untethered option might be acceptable, but verify the extent to which the plug protrudes from the charger; otherwise, you may inadvertently collide with it for the next decade. My charger resides in the garage, and I opted for a tethered solution, routing the cable beneath the garage door to a Type 2 holster affixed to the wall, which is quite tidy.

Explore our EV chargers

Certainly not, and I shall explain the rationale. What type of post-purchase service/guarantee/assistance will be provided? Is this a Smart charger, meaning can your electricity supplier incorporate this charger into their system for genuine Smart Charging? You will still need to hire an electrician to upgrade your current wiring. Do you possess solar energy systems or battery storage solutions? Are you intending to acquire them, as that will influence the kind of charger required? Acquire a tethered charging cable; an untethered one can become quite cumbersome, particularly during winter and inclement weather. Examine the Octopus page; it contains a wealth of information that will assist you in determining the type of setup you require.

I wouldn't buy it until Kia confirmed to me that the warranty was still in effect.

If it's b48, the water pump inside of them is mechanical and can be controlled in part by a vacuum actuator. Since it only happens sometimes and no errors have been generated, my first instinct would be to inspect the vacuum actuator and the performance of the pressure converter. If there are no obvious problems, I would then replace the pump because, similar to how VW pumps stick inside, the mechanism could be jamming.

We use the knob on our CX-90 far more often than the touchscreen, even though it includes a touchscreen. If forced to, I could do without the touchscreen interface. I can't remember ever using the touchscreen to enter an address into the maps, and I also never used the knob. Unless I'm using my voice, I usually just enter in the address on my phone's screen. It's far more handy than staring at an infotainment panel on a stationary device.

Removes stubborn stains.

Greetings everyone! Under the lower weather stripping of the driver's side rear quarter panel window, I can see the first indications of rust on my 2924 PHEV Premium. Do you see any more symptoms like this? I'm worried it will become worse over time, even if it's not a big deal today.

Bimmercode has a tonne of lighting choices, but I've never ever heard of that one. I will review it in a couple of days and get back to you, but someone could come in with the solution sooner.

Which model of Sportage do you possess? It resembles the noise occasionally produced by an electric motor.

This would lead me to doubt the quality and reliability of the Chinese clone.

A 24-plate vehicle remains covered by Toyota's guarantee, therefore there are no concerns.

When did you purchase the vehicle? Did you purchase it from a dealer or a private seller?

....but, it is possible that you may. I was experiencing starting and EML troubles with one of my vehicles.The leads were satisfactory; but, upon closer examination, there was some green discolouration at the ends. When I removed the insulation from the ground lead, it revealed a deteriorated, green and black substance that disintegrated in my hands. It is remarkable that it functioned at all. New leads resolved all my concerns. Merely a small amount for general eBay items. Examine the junction where the ground attaches to the body, ensuring both surfaces are polished to a gleaming metal finish before reattaching. Additionally, inspect the periphery of its insulation. Certain vehicles, particularly some ALFAs, benefit from an additional engine-to-body ground wire. Additionally, cleanse the battery terminals and clamps, particularly if they exhibit a dark or black hue.

If you possess 18" wheels, an 18" steel space saver wheel is required to accommodate the subwoofer. An extended bolt is provided, which passes through the subwoofer and wheel, securing into the boot floor where a welded nut is present. Disconnect the subwoofer lead, remove the subwoofer, and position the wheel accordingly. Subsequently, place the subwoofer within the wheel and fasten the assembly using the extended bolt. The lead will trail over the side of the tire and connect to the subwoofer.
