2004 E46 330d 204hp M-Sport manual touring - salvage?
Doncaster34 replied to NevoBMW320i's topic in General Car Chat
Indeed, it is the reason I sold my E46 saloon, 53 plate, 204 horsepower, 6-speed manual. Euro 4 without DPF, 157,000 miles; I added 60,000 miles over five years. Purchased for £3,650 and sold for £1,500. The vehicle experienced little issues, namely the water pump and thermostat; even the clutch was original.and battery, 2013 to 2018, enduring fond recollections -
I anticipate viewing your off-road videos and will vicariously engage in my off-road excursions through your content. It appears we have reached a new phase of life. Previous life encompassed rustic camping, SUVs, and four-wheel-drive trucks and campers. Currently, with the CX-90, the experience predominantly consists of smooth roads, clear visibility, and leisurely coffee-drinking excursions. Nonetheless, future camping excursions will probably occur, albeit with a more refined ambiance. I eagerly anticipate your vids once more. Exercise caution!

Acquiring further knowledge regarding BMW maintenance
Doncaster34 replied to allmightyASTON's topic in General Car Chat
As previously stated, always perform intermediate oil changes as well. If it is a diesel, ensure you take it for an extended drive at least once a week. -
Replacing the front wheel on the 2023/2024 Evoque
Doncaster34 replied to KOOLCAR's topic in General Car Chat
Prior to lifting the vehicle, it is imperative to deactivate the air suspension. With the ignition activated, depress the "UNLOCK" button on the gear shifter and simultaneously press the "AIR SUSPENSION" button for five seconds until "Jacking Mode" is shown on the dashboard. Subsequently, employ your jack. -
Jacking Points for 72-Plate Sportage
Doncaster34 replied to Needsnewtyres2's topic in General Car Chat
Utilise the puck/saddle pad exclusively with a trolley jack, ensuring it features a groove that aligns with the cill rail/seam between the dimples. The rubber prevents the jack from harming the cill and diminishes the likelihood of the automobile or jack slipping. -
2006 320CLK Satellite Navigation DVD
Doncaster34 replied to another_clean_sheet's topic in General Car Chat
The CLK (c209) has an identical system; if a unit is present, it will be located in the glove box. I utilise the slot located directly above the screen. The system is cumbersome; if utilised frequently, I recommend replacing it with a more contemporary alternative. Utilise just the OEM disc; I believe the most recent disc is from 2019. -
Are you seeking a dash cam powered by a rechargeable battery? Why not just get a wired version and have it installed by a professional? No wire will be visible, enhancing reliability.

I am experiencing same problems with my local dealer. Mazda corporate is ineffective, having initiated over five inquiries with corporate oversight. It has been unproductive when I informed Core that my local dealer is unable to resolve the issues with my vehicle. They suggested that you take it to another dealer for further examination.

W202 C200 (m111) exhibiting hesitation under load
Doncaster34 replied to Rudy7831's topic in General Car Chat
It seems to be a malfunctioning M.A.F, since I had a similar issue with my M111, which I used and maintained for twelve years. -
Their replies are also prompt.

Prominent "parts in motion" user here as well!

The micro switch will likely be included with the catch. It may be difficult to identify, but observe for the slender cable connected to it.

Is it emitting light? You may connect the terminals directly and eliminate the switch. Examine Realoen for the component number, then do a Google search; you may locate the switch in that manner.

Original Equipment Manufacturer paint match
Doncaster34 replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
The issue is that the car's paint is 31 years old and has deteriorated over time. Consequently, any seller of the purportedly accurate paint in a spray can will always be somewhat inaccurate. It is essential to locate a local supplier or mixer capable of use electronic technology to accurately assess the panels on the vehicle, ensuring a precise match that incorporates the nuances of old shading. -
Unfortunately, it seems that fortune has not favored me. This morning, I traveled around three miles when I saw that the check engine light was on. I returned home and used the Land Rover Remote app under the Health section to do an investigation. The engine displayed the accompanying information: Engine Failure Engine Malfunction Malfunction of the engine management system. Should the bulb illuminate when the engine is operational, an emissions-related malfunction exists. The car is operable but may engage limp-home mode, resulting in diminished performance. Obtain expert help at the earliest opportunity. A misfire has been identified if the light illuminated when the engine is operational. Decrease your velocity and promptly get professional aid. Has anybody seen this before, and if so, what was the resolution? This is a P550e with 468 miles recorded. It is particularly inconvenient as I am two hours distant from the closest dealership. I am quite apprehensive about doing the journey that far, particularly if it were to enter limp-home mode.

The Driver Profile is set to default as a guest.

I specifically deactivated driver personalisation for that reason. Enter and proceed. -

Doncaster34 replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
Not an unfavourable proposition... However, even if it identifies me, there are instances when the steering wheel fails to complete its adjustment. Extremely erratic in my experience. -
The Driver Profile is set to default as a guest.
Doncaster34 replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
I have entirely abandoned the Driver Personalisation. It recognises me approximately 25% of the time. If I initiate the car before it identifies me, I must always select my name; otherwise, it defaults to guest. I will revert to utilising the settings buttons located on the left side of the steering wheel.
