  1. Yes, mine was opening and then gradually drooping down, making it so that I hit my head almost every time, and it got worse over time. never worried my five-foot wife, though.
  2. In your picture on the right, you can see the inset plastic panel. That pops off. Under it, you can access the connection. Simply use a plastic trimmer or anything thin and flexible that isn't made of metal. Additionally, you don't have to touch the duct at the bottom of your picture. The wires at the top carry all of the control wiring.
  3. It's completely plug and play and very simple to install. 1) Tailgate 2) Of course, support it. 3) Remove the plastic coverings on both sides of the tailboard (the connection is behind them). 4) Feed the wire out the sides and unplug the old ones. 5) The strut itself comes out with a little tug when the retaining metal spring clip is removed. 6) For the new ones, the same in reverse 7) finished—no programming and everything is in order.
  4. After a year, the replacement struts I installed from an eBay provider are still in fantastic condition. incredibly simple. And up until the original ones failed, they were on par with the OEMs. The only problem is that I pre-wrapped the wire in an extra shroud or tape before installation because I thought the wiring shroud was flimsy and prone to splitting.
  5. I have possessed an E92 320i equipped with 17-inch run-flat tires. I installed regular tires after the run-flats required replacement. The riding was satisfactory on the highways of UK towns. I believe that equipping the car with 16-inch wheels would render it aesthetically unappealing, given its coupe design. The E92 was offered with 17-inch wheels as an option, hence they would not provide any complications. The 17-inch tires I possessed were of a square configuration, perhaps 225/45/17, and those tires were significantly less expensive than the staggered setup on the rear. The ride in my current 420i Msport with 18-inch run-flat tires is considerably firmer. I anticipate the day I can replace them with standard tires.
  6. My 320i was equipped with 300mm front discs and 17-inch wheels from the factory. I acquired a set of pre-owned 330mm discs and callipers from the owner of a 130i who was upgrading to blue callipers. The 17-inch wheels fit without any difficulty, however the 330mm discs significantly filled the space within the 17s, creating an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
  7. The tires are new; however, I am unsure of the age of the TPMS valves.
  8. The date is inscribed on the tyre; if it is 10 years old, I would replace it. Tyre manufactures propose a maximum lifespan of 7 years. This frigid weather also lowers the measurements.
  9. Subpar automobile. Refrain from purchasing. My vehicle was defective, and it appears that the flaws have yet to be resolved. While not all of them may be defective, numerous owners have claimed similar persistent problems. Despite its amazing interior and aesthetic appeal, the vehicle's inherent issues render ownership undesirable. Exquisite concept. Abysmal execution and engineering. Not prepared for public presentation.
  10. In my opinion, that car, even in 'non-crashed' condition, was never valued at £35,000 in this world. My 2018 vehicle, which has 44,000 miles, is currently valued at approximately £38,000 according to Motorway. Therefore, with 104,000 miles, even that asking price seems overly ambitious.
  11. Apologies, I should have mentioned that he stated the need to inspect the electrical system to see why the fuse has melted.
  12. The fuse box has finally arrived today. An automotive electrician stated the other day that it is necessary to do a check.
  13. Thank you, both wonderful members. Ewa was extremely anxious; I was in a dire situation, and the automobile seemed irreparable. I will address the fuse box issue. I am elated; thank you.
  14. I require the replacement of the engine compartment glove box for my Ford Focus Mark One. The model number is 98AG 14A076 A F. However, one listing on eBay differs by a single letter, concluding with a 'a.' eBay has stated that it is compatible. What are the opinions of forum members?
  15. Did you get a warranty? A preliminary search suggests that the fuel filter may be the issue; a diagnostic test would validate this via the assessment of fuel pressure.
