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

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

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

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.

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.

A button on the indicator stalk's end allows you to reset the mileage countdown. It has a plethora of content on YouTube.

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.

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.

Moog 513179 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive

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?

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.

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.

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.

I am grateful. It ought to have been brought up. This was purchased independently from Stitchincover.com. They offered the CX-90 as a template, and as it is custom-made, you may choose from a wide variety of materials and colours. "Porsche Brown" was the name of the brown leather I went for. The most perfect complement to the existing decor I could find. I hand sewed the cover onto the book after waiting around two weeks to get it. The genuine padding is cut and sewn to the underside of the leather, providing a touch of high quality.

Had a custom cover manufactured for the CX-90's steering wheel to complement the black leather interior's gold highlights. Surprisingly, it's well-padded and constructed of sturdy leather. I felt satisfied with the outcomes after installing it within a few hours. No other wheel compares to this one in terms of how it feels in the hand and how well its brown perforated leather complements the car's gold highlights. Revitalising the vehicle after 2.5 years

That makes perfect sense. My next concern is if these are easily accessible for inspection and where exactly are they installed. They should preferably be accessible with a trolly jack and stands because I don't have access to a ramp.

After a few minutes of driving, I swear my low beams become lower, like they illuminate less of the road ahead. I might be dreaming, but I really doubt it. They get up and dance, and then continue on as usual. Then, as I continue to drive, I can almost feel the illuminated road drawing nearer to the vehicle. Every time I turn active lighting on and off, the main beam works just fine, and I never get any problem warnings. Whatever is wrong with this vehicle must be related to its always-great lighting. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, and if so, what's the likely culprit? I am selling a 2012 W204 250.

In order to make things better while still staying within the law, you may find a variety of so-called "upgraded" halogen lights online. Have a look around and read reviews where relevant; Halfords would be a good place to start. Since most manufacturers have abandoned the Xenon alternative, LED lamps have quickly become the standard. However, as is well known, it is technically illegal to simply install LEDs into headlamps designed for halogen, so to avoid a MOT failure, it is best to stick with halogen, preferably the best you can afford. It is easy to overlook some characteristics that you truly desire when perusing a new car's specifications list, so before you buy another vehicle, jot down a list of everything you absolutely must-have. A heated steering wheel, LEDs, an automatic gearbox, electronic power brakes, a lengthy warranty, respectable gas mileage, etc. are the standard features on mine. Hopefully, you'll be able to locate dependable upgraded lights.

I was wondering if you have any news on this. Enquiring about the nature of the problem. I am grateful.

The engine now starts on the first try every time without fail after I changed the fuel filter and the orings in the fuel lines. I will soon tackle the remaining few nagging issues, such as injector number four's "black death" problem. I have acquired a reaming tool, washers from Honda, new nuts, and ceramic grease, so I should be able to straighten it out. In light of this known issue, how is your experience driving the truck? Days, not weeks or months—occasionally spitting under the cover, not quite full with tar just yet. There are a plethora of minor flaws that require attention. Additionally, it has to be run for a while to determine if there are any other problems, since it has been sitting for some time. Runs and stops well now, thus the two most important things are taken care of. The indicator stalk lights up three times when you turn right, but it stops blinking when you leave it on; I have no idea how frequent this is either.

Captain's log: after draining the reservoir, the leak stopped. It turned out to be washer fluid leaking. The engine now runs much smoother, the tappets are much quieter, and I changed the oil using oil flush. There was nearly no coolant in the engine when it arrived (it came in dead) due to the oil and air filter being extremely dirty and unpleasant. There was also about seven litres of water added to top them up. How are individuals able to live such a life? It starts after a few long cranks, so now we need to oil the fuel filter and gasoline lines. Are there any guides or films for that one?
