  1. Mazda recommends 36 psi. It enhances both safety and wearability. Maximum pressure is 51 psi, not target pressure. Uneven wear and poor grip are consequences of increased pressure. Glue the door decal on.
  2. Yeah, the factory-installed tires on them are notoriously bad. A lot of people are noticing it. At around 15,000 miles, you should replace your tires.
  3. Wow, such a fantastic gift. Embrace it with open arms. If you have a four-day ticket, my recommendation is to take it easy on the first day since you will be too tired and blistered to enjoy the rest of the trip. Out of all the show stands, my fave is Lanzante. They bring the house down for even the most well-known businesses.
  4. I am uncertain; the vehicle was taken to the garage, and the technician is currently driving it to and from work to identify the issues. He mentioned that it only emits smoke on cold mornings, but he could not specify the odour he detected. I observe that it is indeed a significant identifier.
  5. The 2008 318d was functioning optimally until I inadvertently allowed a handbag to become lodged behind the gear stick while the vehicle was in motion. Consequently, the car revved excessively out of gear, as it failed to shift due to the obstruction. The engine subsequently stalled, but it restarted slowly, only to falter again on the first incline, losing power and displaying an alternator warning. Electrical systems, including the doors and brakes, ceased to function despite having driven for an hour without issues. The garage will only assess the vehicle after Christmas; it is operational again, but the mechanic reports a significant knocking sound and smoke upon cold starts. Given the age of the car, he suggests that repairs may not be worthwhile, as it could indicate a severe engine issue. The vehicle was operating exceptionally well and covering considerable distance without any problems until I made the imprudent decision to search for chewing gum with one hand while navigating slowly through traffic while entering a town, inadvertently causing the bag to drop under the gear stick.
  6. I did not use stretch bolts on the W211; I reused the existing ones. Apologies, I cannot recall the torque as it is not included in the extensive thread I created.
  7. If you possess a steel space saving spare tire, the shorter bolts required for its installation are typically included with the vehicle and are generally located within the polystyrene holder that accommodates the jack, wheel wedge and warning triangle.
  8. The recall pertains to the MK1 Niro, which utilised the same engine as the hybrid Ceed/Xceed. This is not applicable to the Mk2 provided from 2022 forward. It is characteristic of the Daily Fail to present an incorrect model. I verified this on the DVLA Recalls website by entering the data of a Mk1.
  9. In recent years, I have oscillated between the RAC and the AA. I obtain family coverage, ensuring that all four drivers and vehicles within the home are insured. Approaching either of these companies directly may not be the most economical option. Utilising platforms such as Quidco (among other cashback services) might yield a significant discount; however, there is a considerable delay before receiving the cashback.
  10. Thank you; I will review them later. I contacted Kia and provided my part number, 551001W110, but they informed me that it will take six months to obtain it.
  11. Indeed, you are correct; the part number is 55100-1W100; however, regrettably, it is unavailable for purchase from any vendors. Thank you for your assistance.
  12. Greetings, I am receiving 551001W000; all photographs on eBay corresponding to that part number differ from those on Autodoc. Am I examining the incorrect figures? I am beginning to question my judgement despite the seller's confirmation of the right fitment.
  13. Thank you, I have verified that it matches the part number of the one I ordered. The seller claims it is intended for drums and callipers; nevertheless, it is unfeasible without the lugs or their equivalent, which I have indicated in the figure below.
