  1. How did you verify that everything was removed from the torque converter? If it is feasible for me to do alone, I would certainly do it! Is there a set of pan filters available?
  2. Hello, I had a comprehensive gearbox flush on my prior BMW X3 at 130,000 miles, since it had not been performed before. The gearbox fluid extracted during the service performed by an independent technician was black, although it should have been pink. The garage said it was the most severe condition they had encountered... A home flush is insufficient; it does not completely replace all of the fluid.I shall do a complete flush on my wife's RR when possible.
  3. Most tuners include additional options for their maps, although switching is not mandatory. 🙂 My S5 did not produce pops and fringe, however it performed quite well!
  4. If you are able to reach the battery, attempt to unplug it for a little period of time and thereafter reattach it. Occasionally, this action may restore the vehicle's systems to their original state.
  5. My setup is equipped with piggyback fuse holders (one for permanent live and one for switched live) that are directly connected to a power supply. The power supply is positioned deep in the passenger footwell, far away from any radio or antenna components. The notion that the issue is due to dashcam is baseless - the DAB problem existed before to the installation of the camera.
  6. Are there any other individuals experiencing difficulties with the awful DAB radio on their CX60? My vehicle, registered in September 2023 and not one of the initial models without an aerial, has poor reception. It often loses signal for extended periods, has intermittent distortion, has low audio output, and sometimes abruptly switches to excessively loud and distorted sound. The DAB performance of other automobiles in the family is almost excellent, indicating that the issue is not related to the geographical location where I reside. I have verified that the firmware is up to date. The dealer has been very inept. They have been requested to investigate twice, but the most they can suggest is that the issue may be caused by my dashboard camera. However, they neglected to reconnect it until I saw it three weeks later, despite my first request for them to address the issue with the DAB. During my recent visit, they had the audacity to claim that the mere existence of dashcam cables may be causing disturbances, even when they are not connected to a power source. While the company is eager to profit from safety recall work, they seem to see my DAB issue as a mere inconvenience. Does anybody know the appropriate contact at Mazda UK whom I may approach to explore other avenues for investigation?
  7. Mackie's in Glasgow, which I vaguely remember being positively mentioned on this list before, is worth considering.
  8. Providing us with the specific geographical location of the automobile would enable us to suggest local experts that specialise in gearboxes.
  9. Did you also purchase anything from Summit a long time ago, maybe about 15 years ago? Whenever I search on Summit, I am unable to see a shipping option to the United Kingdom. Returning to RA. When I read about the challenges people have in getting components from Europe, I frequently question why people don't use or at least contemplate using RA.
  10. What is the quantity? I am 18 years old and I am unsure if this is advantageous or disadvantageous.
  11. I have never used self-parking before. I often use an acoustic lock, relying heavily on voice commands. Avoid using the web browser.
  12. Excellent, that resolved the issue! I successfully modified both sides as they seemed to be excessively elevated. I much appreciate the reference pictures you provided, since they were important in assisting me. I conducted a test and found that the wipers no longer make contact with the frame. Thank you!
  13. Great, I appreciate it much. I will attempt this and provide feedback afterwards.
  14. I am uncertain about whether the windscreen has been replaced. I recently purchased it secondhand. Carfax did not indicate any instances of accidents or windscreen replacements. However, this does not definitively indicate that it has not been substituted. Could you provide any details on the incorrect installation position?
  15. Upon observation, I have discovered that the driver side wiper extends beyond the desired range and makes contact with the frame around the windscreen on each swipe. Do you have any suggestions or insights about the potential causes of this issue? The 2021 CX-30.
  16. What are your opinions on the pre-2009 nose design of the SLK compared to the later model?
  17. Resembling a tank, it seems compact and athletic, although it is in no way similar to an MX5.I really dislike them.
  18. Thank you for the previous two messages. Yes, my partner and I had a previous generation 320 SLK. The performance was fantastic, but the whole experience was lacking in excitement. However, considering that it was the American version, it is possible that the exhaust system was designed to minimise noise.The user's text is enclosed in tags.An MB is not definitive, but there are few choices that really appeal to me. As a result of the wind and rain, Saltash has shifted to the east bank of the Tamar River.
  19. I am aware that these are first world concerns. I will cover a distance of 2,000 kilometres annually. Primarily engaging in day travels, leisurely exploring various destinations on pleasant weather days. Ideally, a vehicle will not encounter any issues. However, in the event that it does, I have access to a skilled local mechanic who costs £20 per hour. I am now seeking a convertible car specifically for use during the summer season. The automobiles I owned before were. I had an MGB that had a high seating position. I want greater acceleration, so I sold it and purchased a Chimaera. Although I like most aspects of the Chimaera, I concluded that it lacked sufficient distinctiveness. I sold a car that was similar to an MGB but had enhanced performance. Purchased a Boxster S. I went at a really fast pace, but it was uninteresting... so I sold it. After taking a sabbatical, I purchased a couple of large motorcycles. I sold one of them after two years and came across a well-maintained TR7. However, after a year, I realised that I missed the feeling of power, so I sold the TR7 as well. As a result, I now have a substantial amount of money. I do not have a preference for cars similar to MGb's, S2000's, or mx5's. Last week, a beautiful Alfa Spider 24V was put up for sale in both vehicle and classic categories. However, the small front lights of the car received mixed opinions. Perhaps a Mercedes-Benz SLK? What is the alternative?
  20. Lately, I have had a strong desire to get an SL. I am fond about the redesigned 2009 model. The features such as the nose and more power come at a price of £10,000 and over. Some individuals suggest that the price is around £14,000. Perhaps reconsidering the options, what about considering a 500 instead? The vehicle offers a significant amount of power, a lower tax rate, and comparable insurance costs. Additionally, it is priced at less than £14,000. Upon a cursory examination, I noticed that the ABC element appears often throughout the text. After a brief analysis of this element, I must express my concern. It seems that I should steer clear of...but surprisingly, a visually appealing 500 is listed for sale on eBay, conveniently located near my area in Saltash. The 2002 model seems visually appealing with little mileage and is said to have a full service history, giving it a neat appearance. However, there is an issue with the ABC. Should I.....do I have the courage to>>>. Does the potential inconvenience justify the cost? Is the warranty for 3 months extendable? I would appreciate guidance in making a decision. Alternatively, should I wait for the 2009 on 350, which seems to be a good option?
  21. No, it refers to the act of keeping an automobile in a stationary position by using the brake, while simultaneously increasing the engine's power by pressing the accelerator pedal, in order to generate more force before releasing the brake. Yes, it is recommended to turn off the air conditioning for optimal functioning.
