  1. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/mot-inspection-manual-for-private-passenger-and-light-commercial-vehicles/1-brakes#section-1-2-1
  2. It is possible that they have not been completely released. A comprehensive brake service may be necessary.
  3. A minimum of one cap. If yours is absent, you must a replacement nonetheless. I possess no knowledge about the AL tanks, save from the fact that they are available for purchase. I have never used one.
  4. The cap should remain secured. It alleviates pressure at around 21-22 psi. It should not displace the threads on the bottle. Purchase an authentic Mini brand reservoir cover and see whether it continues to overflow. Coolant systems need appropriate pressure; otherwise, they may vaporise at temperatures lower than specified.
  5. This testing kit includes an adapter compatible with a 2nd generation mini. Amazon Canada I purchased one around six months ago, and it includes a lid that fits the coolant container. I do not own a cap tester; however, I circumvented this limitation by removing the coolant reservoir from the vehicle, sealing all openings save one, and then pressurising the whole reservoir while submerged in the septic sink. Confirmed that the cap detached at the appropriate pressure and that the coolant reservoir exhibited no leaks concurrently. One must sometimes engage in unconventional thinking.
  6. Purchase one of the little "sniff tester" kits. Remove the cap and use it to extract the air from the coolant reservoir. Colour change in the fluid of the sniff tester indicates the presence of combustion gases in the coolant, suggesting potential issues such as a head gasket failure or head fractures. If there is no colour change, the engine is mechanically sound, and the cap has likely deteriorated. That is only a cap replacement problem. While more issues may arise, this approach will begin the process and represent the most cost-effective method to address the prevalent problems initially.
  7. I first believed this when I acquired my M4, which was mostly used for derivatives. Currently, I rev my M4 to 7,000 RPM, but it is capable of exceeding that by a few hundred RPM.Notably, reaching the maximum RPM in fourth gear will propel me above 130 mph.I consistently utilise paddles or the DTC shifter/gearknob while accelerating.
  8. Thank you for your reply. Similar to your experience, I have encountered the shift to nighttime mode, especially when driving under bridges. I had not contemplated modifying the automatic headlight control. I have elevated the dashboard illumination to level 20 (maximum), nevertheless it does not mitigate the issue I discovered. I am gradually understanding that the resolution to this problem is so profoundly concealed that only a Hyundai software expert can assist.
  9. Thank you for your reply. The screen brightness adjustment in Settings/Display/Brightness does not provide choices for modifying the satnav; there is a notice indicating that the satnav is configured according to lighting conditions, but unfortunately, no adjusting options are available. I contend that there may be no resolution to this quite vexing event. The satnav is clearly visible in daylight or darkness; nevertheless, its clarity diminishes in gloomy conditions.
  10. Thank you for your answer; I have reviewed it and provided my feedback below.
  11. I should have specified that the vehicle is a 21-plate E Kona.
  12. When the weather is somewhat cloudy, my navigation screen often switches to night mode. The cabin's illumination makes the navigation screen hard to view, especially in regions devoid of significant roadways. Has anybody else encountered this issue, and if so, have you discovered a method to modify the settings for the transition to night mode or any other solution? Thank you.
  13. Isn't the 2017 Clubman an F54 model? I believed the last R55 was in 2015.
  14. Rest assured, I will express my foresight when the appropriate moment arises, often with billies at around four months, and all the paint has corroded away. 😉
  15. Opt for BCS; I have installed many sets on various vehicles without encountering any complaints or issues about the components.
  16. One cannot err with BC. Avoid selecting a hefty spring, and you will appreciate them. It is challenging to locate a configuration that is economically feasible while allowing for separate adjustment of preload and ride height. Additionally, I believe the damping on the Billies is not adjustable.
  17. The quality of lower-end products is subpar. Approximately 80% of individuals I have met who match those criteria have had issues within 12 months, necessitating repairs for reconstruction.
  18. Bilstein B14 is subpar. H&R springs, especially when paired with factory dampers, are very effective. BCs are exceptional. Particularly with the cost. Avoid selecting an excessively hefty spring.
  19. Perhaps it pertains to varying degrees of iDrive software? The instances I have seen have a double 's' next to vehicle inspection.
  20. The vehicle inspection on iDrive is the MOT; go to it, choose the iDrive controller, and you may thereafter modify the date.
  21. Typically, if a belt tears apart shortly after being started, it indicates that the belt was not installed properly and was slightly misaligned with one of the pulleys. I have personal experience with this issue, however I choose not to elaborate on how I acquired this knowledge. It is possible that a pulley has seized, but this would be apparent during installation. Additionally, pulleys are not very sensitive to oil, so it would not fail quickly. It would take a significant amount of time and slippage before it eventually fails.
  22. I purchase all of my batteries from Tayna, which has successfully resolved the stop/start issue on both of my Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
  23. Is it necessary to reset adaptations for MB automatic transmissions after changing the fluid and filter?
