  1. In the UK, second-hand electric vehicles (EVs) are inexpensive due to the almost non-existent Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax on corporate leases. Not just megabytes.
  2. Out of interest, has anybody used these dimensions - with or without wheel spacers - and had any contact between the wheels and the wheel housing liner?
  3. Inspect the drain tubes in the cowl for any obstructions caused by leaves. I lack knowledge on the W203, however this issue is often seen in other models.
  4. The water pump, fuel filter housing, and thermostat are the most often seen components. However, coolant hoses and radiators leaking are a very close second in terms of frequency.
  5. The primary issue that BMW faces is the outsourcing of its components to the most cost-effective manufacturers. On F series automobiles, I have observed that the metal used for some sections is much weaker, resulting in quicker wear compared to earlier versions. The durability of the electrical components on the current versions is not as good as it was on the earlier ones. In addition, the biggest dealers have challenges in retaining their experienced technicians who have been employed at BMW for more than 7 years. They then hire individuals that lack knowledge on how to operate on a BMW, much alone how to reattach components to the automobile in the same manner they were removed. I own an F10 M5, which has been excellent overall. However, I have had difficulties with my local Berry BMW dealers, who lack the necessary expertise to address warranty-related issues. Consequently, I have had to resolve these problems independently. Berry BMW exacerbated the issues with my vehicle due to their lack of proficiency in reassembling components and properly securing them after removal. In addition, I had to instruct them on how to rectify issues that were inside the warranty coverage, which they claimed to have addressed but never really addressed. That is why they have been ranked as the worst major dealer in London.
  6. Our methodology This modification ensures that the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve remains closed at all times, preventing any exhaust gases from re-entering the intake system. Additionally, the engine's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) continues to detect the presence of the EGR valve, allowing the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to still undergo regeneration processes. This method eliminates the need of removing and reinstalling any components for the purpose of fitting blanking bungs. I have seen issues with the diesel particulate filter (DPF) failing to regenerate after firms have disabled the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system by installing blank bungs.
  7. Install a new exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) device. Inspect the electrical connections leading to the EGR temperature sensor or substitute the sensor with a new one. Alternatively, configure the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve to remain closed at all times inside the engine's electronic control unit (ECU) software.

  8. http://www.nexonmotors.com/steering-wheels I would want to inform you that I have had positive outcomes with Nexon, a wheel that offers complete customisation options.
  9. Indeed! The Gen 2 wheels seem visually appealing in a Gen 1 vehicle.
  10. Ensure that these firms are using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) cores. A significant portion of the work is derived from China.
  11. Ensure the update is completed and ensure that a new AGM battery with greater CCAs than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is installed as a prerequisite for the purchase.
  12. My AC compressor was replaced in 2020. During that period, my OBD11 did not generate an error code. The left heat regulating valve was updated last year. At that point, a strong gust of hot air was emanating from the left ventilation opening, whereas the air from the middle opening was comparatively less heated. I received error code 00737. Subsequently, everything has been OK.
  13. I found the Amazon product to be of high quality considering its price. The gold top option or the Craven Speed option are both available at a reasonable price.
  14. I purchased a product from Amazon and effortlessly adjusted its length to match that of my original using an Allen key. By the way, you said that you possessed Cooper, not just one.
  15. The only difference lies in the Mini One Prince engine, which is somewhat shorter. EtherealWanderer, please correct me if I am mistaken.
  16. I believed I could disregard the indicators on the gearbox dipstick and instead measure the oil level based on how far it climbs up the flexible coiled section. Verify the temperature while it's hot? Is that so? I have only inspected the engine oil while it is cool and in a level position.
  17. Ensure that in certain automobiles, the function is to lower the temperature of the engine and interior after an extended period of driving.
  18. $148,888 - due to the preference of BAT purchasers for aesthetically pleasing numbers 🙂 However, in actuality, the price should increase since a GT under 10,000 will soon be seen as a great deal.
  19. I acquired this item via the motability scheme around one month ago. The performance of the gearbox is subpar, as it exhibits noticeable sensations during gear shifts, sometimes resulting in a forceful acceleration that pushes the occupant into the seat. Furthermore, on a weekly basis, there is an occurrence of a loud impact and grinding noise while initiating movement from a stationary position at traffic lights. The suspension system is characterised by its excessive rigidity and discomfort. There have been several reports suggesting that a more comfortable suspension may be installed at no additional cost upon request. However, my dealer, Perry's, has declined to change the current suspension and has instead claimed that the discomfort would diminish as the rubber bushes gradually soften. This response has left me perplexed and dissatisfied. The vehicle sometimes experiences autonomous acceleration and exhibits several other malfunctions. Despite undergoing repairs, the automobile was returned with the same set of defects. I have replaced a Kuga automobile, and it is noticeable when the gears shift in the current vehicle, particularly in the cx60, notably during the first, second, and third gear transitions. This evokes memories of the Borg Warner gearboxes manufactured throughout the 1950s. Mazda has knowledge of the aforementioned difficulties, however fails to take appropriate action in addressing the majority of them, while the dealer similarly neglects to address the remaining concerns. Over the course of the last 15 years, I have not encountered the need to bring any of my seven newly purchased automobiles to a service centre due to any manufacturing defects. The automobile in question exhibits aesthetic flaws and premature market release, therefore characterising it as a prototype vehicle. If one is contemplating the purchase of the item, it is advised against. Furthermore, it should be noted that the mileage of the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is significantly overstated. I have been granted permission by Motability to return the current vehicle and proceed with the acquisition of another automobile, namely a Kuga model.
  20. In order to acquire ownership of a BMW 8 Series, one might perhaps engage in the purchase of a key via the online marketplace known as eBay.
  21. Congratulations! I have accumulated around 1100 kilometres on my vehicle at now. In the first instances, the fuel efficiency of my first few tanks was about 25 miles per gallon (mpg), while the most recent tank yielded a little higher figure of 26.8 mpg, as determined by manual computation. It is worth noting that the estimate provided by the vehicle's guessometer was 25.6 mpg, which deviated somewhat from the actual value. If I had prioritised excellent fuel efficiency, I would have likely opted to purchase the new Prius that I test drove, since it demonstrated promising performance in this regard. Engage in the activity with enthusiasm and get pleasure from it. The act of punching it on the mountain journey home has consistently elicited a grin on my face. I adhered to the guidelines outlined in the instructions by refraining from exerting excessive force on the vehicle until it had accumulated a distance of over 600 miles.
  22. The location of the component is situated inside the front passenger footwell, positioned above the fuse board and concealed under a protective cover. (I conducted a verification process to ensure the accuracy of my statement...) Your statement caused me to question its validity.
