  1. On my F36, the hardwire is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, while the negative is attached to the chassis in the boot. I connect the charger in the driveway once a week for about half a day; otherwise, due to my limited excursions, a new battery lasts just one year.
  2. Ensure the jump point connection is secure.
  3. If the issue arose after you had been driving it, it is plausible that it functioned properly following the component change. Was the ride height satisfactory upon your collection of the vehicle?
  4. The effective functioning of the compressor has uncovered an additional problem. I suspect a malfunction with the solenoid or level sensor on the high side.
  5. Regrettably, it was a 2.3 diesel. That was rather ironic, anticipating that some could presume it was the more potent version. The XR3. That is self-evident. The SAAB 3 Litre V6 was undoubtedly the finest automobile I have ever had; yet, it had to be relinquished due to the corrosion of the power steering pipes at 11 years of age, which resulted in fluid dispersion throughout the engine compartment. The cost to rectify the issue would have exceeded double the vehicle's worth. Ford Mondeo. The name encapsulates the essence. Volvo V50. This was the LUX variant (highest specification). This was 11 years more recent than the SAAB, although it was inferior in comparison. I selected the EV3 mostly because of its mileage, warranty, and delivery prior to April. After doing a test drive, I concluded that I had finally discovered a vehicle capable of rivalling the SAAB.
  6. The spouse's vehicle has both of these features: The high and low beam is permanently disabled since it continuously alternates between dip and main. The lane departure system is deactivated while not on primary roadways due to its excessive sensitivity. Attempting to activate or deactivate them while driving is perilous, since it necessitates engaging with the dashboard screen and navigating through around four or five menus. Can they be easily activated or deactivated on the EV3?
  7. As already said. Advice If you want to retain the vehicle long-term, get a BMW-specific scanner; it will be beneficial and save you considerable expenses.
  8. My vehicle is a 2015 S212, which has the capability of self-parking; however, my previous 20120 S212 lacked this technology.
  9. Do you believe a tank and cap acquired directly from BMW? Are the aluminium options effective, or should they be avoided?
  10. The first occurrence occurred when I was stopped, and today it happened during very slow traffic; so, I can only infer that it occurs while idling. It is conceivable that the fan is malfunctioning (I have tested it and confirmed that the fuse is operational) or that the thermostat is defective.
  11. I conducted the test, which yielded a negative result for HGF; but, when opening the bonnet, I discovered that the cap was missing, likely dislodged by the pressure. Is the pressure causing the caps to dislodge for any reason?
  12. I am aware that it is located near the thermostat. I do not exhibit any apparent indications of HGF or thermostat malfunction. Temperatures are OK; heaters function as anticipated. No smoke from the exhaust; oil is crystal clean; vehicle operates smoothly. I plan to replace the valve cover gasket during Christmas, as it appears to be deteriorating and likely has never been replaced (evidenced by some severely rusted bolts). Is there anything I can visually inspect while performing this task, given that I lack testing equipment? If I cannot identify any issues, it will necessitate a visit to the garage. Any suggestions? This one has me perplexed.
  13. I purchased a 2008 Mini Cooper S in August. I immediately saw that the coolant was depleting, so I purchased a new tank from Febi Bilstein. For a few months, everything was satisfactory; levels were monitored biweekly. I was waiting for a buddy with the vehicle idling when an excessive amount of steam emanated from the hood. Upon inspection, I discovered the tank was empty and the cap had been detached. Upon inspection, the metal valve was misaligned; I purchased a new cap that is far more robust and well-constructed. It is hoped that the issue lies with the cap; nevertheless, there is a suspicion of a leak, despite the absence of coolant. Nonetheless, there are indications of dried coolant stains present:
  14. Thank you for your response. Originals seem to be accessible from BMW for around £250 for the pair; but, if RealOEM is accurate, they would be incompatible with my vehicle. Even if I procured new ones, I would still need new seals for the gearbox end, which is the primary focus of the discussion.
