  1. Well the BMW turned up today. Everything went pretty smoothly and the car looks lovely both inside and outside Started first time and there weren't any warning lights showing on the dashboard Must admit I'm feeling a lot better now lol
  2. I actually gave them a ring earlier this week and asked whether I could travel over to Belfast and have a look at the BMW myself, to be fair they didn't seem bothered by that at all. Said I was welcome to come to their yard and even take it for a short test drive if I wanted. In the end I decided to have it delivered instead because I'd come across a few decent comments about them online. Hopefully I've made the right decision
  3. I recently purchased a 2020 BMW 3 Series from Killeavy Transport. They said the car should be delivered to my address in Coventry in roughly a week i'm starting to feel a little nervous now and was wondering if anyone here has had any dealings with them before. Just hoping I haven't fallen for one of those deals that looks too good to be true
  4. My goodness, that got out of hand fast! The Toyota primer isn't as terrible as some of the VAG primers, but it does appear like they skipped the top coat on a few of the lighter greys.

  6. Is the odour diesel or exhaust, as they are distinct? If there is an odour of exhaust, inspect for indications of soot surrounding the turbo VNT arm.
  7. A button on the indicator stalk's end allows you to reset the mileage countdown. It has a plethora of content on YouTube.
  8. Yes, I have just learned that. I thought it might be a lift pump, but it turned out to be a nicked o ring on a leaky pipe.
  9. I hope I don't have to deal with this, because it looks complicated; every morning before I turn the ignition on, I hear a gurgling sound coming from the tank. I have been pursuing this for the past three months, and chatgpt has sent me on a diagnostic house tour.

  11. Please share your opinion; is it advisable to repair it or is it time to let go? My 2005 Matrix with a 1.8L automatic gearbox has 280,000 miles; it does not consume oil and requires no additions between oil changes. However, the right front wheel has started to produce a clunking sound, and I suspect it may be related to the control arm or the wheel hub/bearing. Rock Auto offers a Moog front end kit along with CV axles and additional components for $600.00. Excluding labour, what would your estimation be for labour? What additional mileage would you project from a 1.8L engine given this mileage? Is it beneficial to reconstruct the front end? It has been an excellent compact vehicle. I have been expecting the necessity for a new automobile; upon examining prices and perusing reviews, do you have any trustworthy recommendations for used or new vehicles?
  12. Have you consulted your owner's handbook? The most popular oil for BMWs is 5w-30 LL-04. Hopefully, it will tell you that. Do not employ AI for critical choices (or anything else, really) under any circumstances; doing so will render your guarantee null and useless.
  13. You can set the AAWireless app to only attempt a connection when your phone and automobile are already in a Bluetooth connection. No issues at all with my Niro EV.
  14. Indeed, the stitching is located on the inside of the wheel, same to the factory cover. Surrounding the three spokes is the tricky part. The sections that will cover the spokes are cut from the cover, and the majority of that is delicately inserted into the seams where the steering wheel and certain trim pieces are attached.
