  1. I can confirm that I have found a ZF kit that includes the pan filter. I am anxious since I have never used an auto box before. The gearbox appears to be in good shape after I connected bimmerlink. Are regular tires available? Is there a spare wheel and can of muck in your bag?

  5. I just got my hands on a 530d F10, and it needs some work. Help! I'm new to BMWs and could use some pointers! I'll probably change the oil on the 8-speed automatic. Despite the fact that the mileage is 117,000. Right now, the gearbox isn't making any noise. I really hope I don't mess it up! Additionally, I'm thinking about switching to a square wheel setup and doing away with run flat tires. What do you think? A tremor of around 60 miles per hour is present right now. My guess is that it's a tire or wheel.
  6. the Hilux arrived this morning ! Going to get it checked over properly tomorrow just for peace of mind but so far no issues.
  7. I actually did ask spoke to them on the phone and they said I was welcome to come up, even gave me directions to where they’re located near to George Best Airport in the end I couldn’t justify the trip so went with delivery instead. Had a look around online as well and found a few people saying they’d used them, nothing screaming “avoid” which is what pushed me to go ahead. Still feels a bit strange though not gonna lie!
  8. Hi all, I’ve just gone and purchased a Toyota Hilux Invincible from Cardwell Transport, based in Belfast. Saw it advertised on eBay and they said it was an ex-finance repossession, recently picked up from auction. Price wasn’t stupid cheap but definitely under what I’ve been seeing elsewhere so I went for it. They told me it should be with me within about a week. Payment went into a business account they described as a “segregated account” until I receive and ok the vehicle! All sounded fine at the time but now the money’s gone through I’m starting to overthink it a bit Anyone here actually dealt with them before or done this sort of thing??? Thanks!
  9. I wouldn't stress over it. As soon as I start the engine, I switch mine off. I have never understood its purpose.
  10. If the engine speed increases as you approach peak torque and then decreases as you decelerate or exceed peak torque, it's quite probable that your clutch is Donald Duck-y.Putting it in top gear at approximately 50 makes it somewhat labour, which is another test. Be sure not to take your foot off the throttle while you swiftly depress the clutch pedal and then release it. The engine should rev quickly before lowering with a thud when the clutch is fully engaged. If the revs take a while to fall back down and they do it with a slur, it's time to change the clutch.
  11. It can only be attributed to a poor connection. When you jump-start it, are you utilising the jump point located under the hood? Inspect the ground connection as well as the one on the engine.
  12. We also experienced a leaking windscreen.
  13. Thank you, but the issue existed before to the chain; it is an occasional error. It can last for days without occurring, and then it will. Additionally, I am alarmed by the local garage's report that someone had their chain replaced, only for it to fail again within a year.
  14. Hello, I hail from Cheshire, United Kingdom. Regrettably, I have recently lost my husband, who possessed a 2016 diesel Evoque. During the most recent MOT, it was noted that a minor rattle was audible from the timing chain. The vehicle has travelled 67,000 miles. The replacement of the chain and related components incurred a cost of £3000. My spouse was unwell at that time; he just drove the car back from the garage and never drove again. He stated prior to his demise that I am It is presumed that you will retain the Evoque given the financial investment made in it. I appreciate the automobile; yet, I am somewhat apprehensive after reviewing the negative reports regarding the Ingenium engines. My emotions convey one message while my intellect communicates another. It exhibits an intermittent malfunction whereby releasing the accelerator results in the vehicle maintaining or increasing speed until the accelerator is pressed again. I am apprehensive that the chain may break again or that the turbo may fail. What should I do? I would like to retain it, but I fear it may become a financial burden. My vehicle is a Nissan Juke.
