Hey everyone, I’m on looking for a first car for my daughter's birthday and noticed a 2022 Fiat 500 on FB Marketplace posted by Lamsam Logistics. At first blush I thought I was dealing with a private seller, but it turns out I’ve stumbled upon a Belfast based transport company that’s also in the business of selling repossessed vehicles. They’ve thrown their hat in the ring with home delivery to Somerset, promising it’ll be on your doorstep in a week to ten days. That all sounds like pie in the sky but I’m feeling a bit like a cat on a hot tin roof about shelling out cash before laying my eyes on the car. Has anyone walked this road before? Or did you actually bite the bullet and buy from them? I’m all ears to get the lowdown on the process, payment, and vehicle details. Your thoughts would be worth their weight in gold.

Well, it's possible these...

To screw into, you might require the plastic plugs, which are available online and at most car shops; they are expanding plastic rivets.

The pricing ranged substantially, I noticed that. Purchased ten for £6.39, but witnessed a man attempting to sell four for £16.00!

I recently removed these to accommodate my side steps and realised I was sitting on a small fortune 😆.

Great. Will place an eBay purchase for a set.

Those screws are short self-tappers, if memory serves. Perhaps remove one from the opposite side to measure it. The Partsouq online catalogue lists these as part number 1249306257E Screw Tapp, and I was able to locate a plethora of these on eBay.

You should be able to find them on sites like eBay and others.

Sportage 2017 Kia It appears that a pothole has severely struck the rear nearside mudflap, ripping off what appear to be two screws in comparison to the offside mudflap. Can someone tell me where I can get the screws I need, or will Kia simply charge exorbitant prices?

😁😁

Let there be a leak.

without a doubt motor oil

in 2004

What is the current year?

The fluid may be gearbox fluid, as the cooler is integrated within the radiator. Alternatively, conduct a leak-down test, as the head gasket may have failed.

I discovered a significant quantity of oil in my coolant reservoir. I extracted it and substituted some coolant. I aim to ascertain the source of the leak, and many have suggested that it is an issue with the oil cooler. Nevertheless, the oil cooler I located is positioned on the front driver's side beneath the bumper. This system is fan-assisted and features two connected cooler pipes. I do not observe any coolant lines linked to the oil cooler. Where are the oil and coolant systems interconnected? Thank you

How do you resolve the issue?

Thank you for your response. It is peculiar that disconnecting the crank sensor results in the car starting identically to when it is connected; the vehicle never stalls, and the sole problem I encounter is difficulty in starting.

Examine the pipework leading to the pre-turbine pressure sensor for obstructions, and also inspect the differential sensor pipework for blockages, in addition to reviewing live data for DPF pressures. To ascertain the functionality of the crank sensor, it is advisable to utilise an oscilloscope to verify signal production; nonetheless, it is likely operational, as the engine would cease to function in its absence. I presume it is a diesel engine. A tone wheel is located on the crank behind the flywheel, generating the crank signal; in diesel engines, the cam sensor is utilised for starting, while the crank signal assumes control once the engine is operational. Which equipment have you utilised for scanning?

I possess a 2015 BMW 325 F30. Experiencing difficulties with a difficult start and some oscillation. The automobile consistently starts, albeit after several cranks, regardless of temperature conditions. I have connected it and possess several codes. 25D400: Exhaust pressure sensor located before the turbine, range: exceeded top physical limit. 273F00: Crankshaft sensor, signal: no signal detected. I have replaced the crankshaft and camshaft sensors, verified the voltage, and all is functioning properly. Do you have any suggestions for what I should examine next?

It is recommended to remove any old gasoline and replace it with fresh before continuing with the issue discovery process, as the fuel will also become stale after three years of sitting.

An easy approach to check for a vacuum leak is to start the car while unplugging the MAF. After that, is it more efficient?
