  1. Hi, I’ve actually used Grimes Transport myself earlier this year. Bought a Lexus NX300h from a private seller near Belfast who asked me to complete the deal through Grimes since they act as an independent third party. The whole thing went smoothly the car reached my place in Glasgow in about five days. They also gave me a full 10 day inspection period before confirming the sale and my mechanic gave it a clean bill of health, so I let them know I was happy to keep it. That said always be careful when something looks like a bargain. There are so many fake “transport” middlemen out there running scams, but Grimes seem to be one of the genuine ones.
  2. Hello, I anticipated that my reversing camera would activate when I shifted into reverse to park; but, it remains operational when I switch to drive to align my vehicle. Is this typical for Niro? Additionally, there are no warning noises emitted while I travel ahead, just during reverse maneuvers.
  3. My 2003 SL 500 still has the Nokia 6210 inside the armrest. I just leave it there since it seems so 'appropriate' - indestructible phones!
  4. Hello, I have recently acquired a W204 C63. I am considering the installation of catless IPE headers. Will this modification yield approximately 550 bhp? What will be the auditory impression of this? Must I also eliminate the secondary catalytic converters to achieve 550 bhp? What will it sound like with the secondary cats eliminated? Will there be an excessive amount of drones?
  5. they are not cheap but they are TOP
  6. I have performed it three or four times on each vehicle throughout the years. Due to the incline of my driveway, I position the rear of the vehicle upon wheel ramps, thereby levelling the car. I have consistently used Fuchs and an inexpensive eBay transfer pump, which simplifies the refilling process. It is an inexpensive endeavour as a do-it-yourself project.
  7. I requested the dealer to activate my device, since it was not displaying. It has functioned well since, even after the reset shown in the video.
  8. I am uncertain, but it must be terminated in some manner.
  9. I experienced same / same with a BMW 1.8i. If I continued trying, but may be for 1/2 hour, it would certainly catch.
  10. It employs a synthesis of Maps and Camera. I own a segment of roadway that traverses a bus terminal. Whenever I drive by, it registers the speed limit as 10 mph. It will thereafter emit a flashing light and beep for the following 10 minutes, until I drive by a speed restriction sign, which will rectify the issue. Until that time, you are confined, as am I. I have also encountered this when travelling on a 50mph dual carriageway; upon passing under a bridge, the speed limit was subsequently reduced to 20mph, which I presume corresponds to the bridge's specifications. The vehicle enters an agitated state due to excessive speed beyond the limit. It is a very vexatious flaw. EDIT: My hypothesis is that it will not update from the Map until it detects another sign, despite seeming to use the map to establish an incorrect speed restriction.
  11. I attempted it once and saw that battery conditioning used 4.5 kW for around 15 minutes, resulting in a significant reduction in miles per kilowatt-hour. It is likely only worthwhile if accessing a higher power charger.
  12. I regret to learn that you may have lost a beautiful automobile. If they do not fund the repairs, like @Black_raven suggests, it may be valuable for parts for others. I remember that both Mike Brewer and, if I am not mistaken, Tim Shaw from those respective programs used an established firm specialising in wiring looms to address the needs of most automobiles. I am unable to remember the name of the firm.
  13. While searching internet, I consistently encounter those situated overseas. Prices are around £25 for a grommet. Regrettably, mine disappeared inside; I presume the floor pan is double-layered? At one moment, it was barely discernible; rather than seizing it with needle-nose pliers, I prodded it further with a finger. Does anybody know where I may get one at a more reasonable price? Am I exhibiting unwarranted optimism?
  14. I propose doing a thorough examination of the radiator as well as all the hoses and joints throughout the whole system. Even in the absence of any prior repairs to the system (where a UV-florescent additive has been added), it is feasible to detect a leak by observing the presence of a damp and oily area. Specifically, this refers to the radiator, as well as the connections leading to and from all other components of the system. The greasy patch is caused by the leakage of compressor oil together with the AC media.
  15. Has this automobile been properly maintained? Are the spark plugs and wires in good condition? Are the coil packs functioning properly? Are there any vacuum leaks caused by deteriorated hoses in the intake system? Numerous malfunctions may occur in an aged vehicle.
  16. Installing a new Bosch air mass sensor is likely to resolve the issue. This component is prone to failure. Purchasing from a dealership might be expensive, but you can get authentic products at a far lower price by buying from an autoparts shop.
  17. Adore it I have refrained from attempting the conventional park assist feature on my old Sportage due to overwhelming fear.
