  1. It ought to be possible to take off and replace the bumper. You may find them between the car's bumper and its crash structure if you just lay beneath it.
  2. I've had many different BMW models, so I can attest to this over a wide range of bulb and headlamp configurations. My old E-class Mercedes had factory hids, and it was one of the nicest vehicles I've ever owned for nighttime visibility.
  3. Yep - 215. Whether they're Wildcats or Apollos, or the tiny Special, I'm not sure. Used likewise in Olds F-85s; I'm told there was even a turbocharged variant.
  4. Sure enough, my TR8 has one. Get the whole story here: V8 Rover
  5. My Tribute automatic transmission's odometer still says GAGE after I followed the reset steps. My PATS will not allow my vehicle to start, despite my having gone through all of the reset procedures and replacing many switches and fuses. And now I ask, wha? HELP!!!
  6. Use a nano coating, such as Gtechniq C5, Gyeon Q2 Rim, or something similar, as recommended. These coatings last for one to two years and make cleaning the wheels as simple as using a regular shampoo or, if necessary, a mild iron remover as a pre-wash.
  7. I've been running 255/85 for about 4 years. On Boost wheels, but the tyre size is great. I like them better than 235's. I've never lost grip with them off-road, even in mud. Just drive like any MT would when it's wet. I run all the time on mountain trails and a lot on the road, but I only do about 6 to 8 km a year. Dynabeads are good. If you don't have any weights or don't want any, you can also use Dynabeads or weights. It might be helpful to have a few more Dynabeads in weight. See Blackwolf's posts about Dynabeads and how much to use here. Mine has the normal amount, but you can go a little higher in weight if you want to.
  8. Hi I have changed the gearbox oil twice with Castrol Syntrans 75W-90 API GL-4 on a 200k Km Cooper-D. Excellent operation
  9. Thanks, I may consider buying some toyo proxes t1-r.. I've owned them before and really liked them. I've already reached for reverse several times while travelling at 70 mph! New drivetrain imminent? (6 gears in the zed...poor practise). The used car dealer from whom I purchased the vehicle provided a 3-month warranty, but I cannot fathom them covering bearings if they fail.
  10. Hello, I recently acquired a Mazda 3 sport! (I sold my Nissan 350Z to purchase a more practical vehicle... ::)) The car is overall very excellent on paper, but there are a few things I'm still struggling with: the gas mileage isn't that great, and the unit of measurement is litres per hundred miles... that's just irritating and juvenile! I have observed quite a bit of road noise, almost as if there is a droning noise emanating from the rear axles, despite the fact that the car has only travelled 22,000 miles! Don't know whether or not this is cause for concern. Enjoying it as it is a large, practical vehicle that is not too sluggish and simple to operate. Is it also normal to run at 3.5k at 70mph? Thanks!
  11. Just 900 high-octane diesels! I guess I'd best hope I don't wreck the automobile and need any replacement components.
  12. Yes, I saw your post regarding your new car's impending arrival. With all of the tracking photographs, you seem to be really thrilled. That, I suppose, is the main difference between purchasing a new automobile and a used one. Have fun with your countdown; I'm sure we'll all be getting frequent updates from you.
  13. CelestialSeeker number nine? O0 Still, as WillPower so artfully says... Fuck Honda, enjoy the 62:) I can hardly wait >:D ... but must :-[
  14. Oooo, that's interesting; my upbringing was rather like to that. My previous daily driver was a Honda Accord Type R; however, I just upgraded to a Mazda3. My very first vehicle was a Honda Civic Vti with a J-plate. I made the decision to try out another brand, but I was set on maintaining the dependability of Japanese vehicles, so selecting Mazda was really pretty simple.
