The employee at Costco was misinformed when I purchased my Bosch battery, as he insisted that I required a stop-start battery, which was incorrect. The C-HR does not employ a starter motor like a traditional stop/start engine does, allowing for the installation of a standard lead-acid battery, similar to the factory-installed one, but with a greater amp-hour (Ah) rating.

I believe the cells are identical for both engines; however, you may get the largest capacity battery that fits in the tray behind the hood.

Do you possess the 1.8 or 2.0 litre variant? Any of these options should suffice.

The DVLA remains outdated; transferring a number plate from your vehicle may be done online, but only between 7 AM and 7 PM. If you want a new V5 for which you must pay, the transaction cannot be conducted online, and payment must be made by check or postal order. Earlier this year, I had to search through cabinets to locate an old cheque book.

I inquired about the ICCU problem, and the answer was, "Oh, I haven't heard anything about that; it must be an isolated case!" I do not believe him. Although I preferred the EV4 over the EV3, I want to wait at least a year to observe future developments, since I still have two years of warranty remaining on my E-Niro.

I attended the local premiere this evening and found the EV4 more impressive than the EV3, hence I may contemplate acquiring one in the future; however, it will need to surpass my 2020 E-Niro. I saw that it only has USB-C connectors, lacking USB-A ports, necessitating a reevaluation of my USB music library. The menus seemed to lack intuitiveness.

The Sportage was delivered today, right on time. The driver phoned about 40 minutes before arriving. The car looks even better than it did in the photos spotless inside and out. All the paperwork was neatly packed in a folder (V5C, MOT, service records). Really pleased with how everything’s gone.

Just a quick update: I made the payment yesterday morning, and I’ve already received a confirmation email from their finance department. They’ve scheduled delivery for next week. I’ll post again once the car arrives.

Thanks everyone for the feedback really appreciate it. I’ve decided to go ahead with one of their listings a Kia Sportage they’ve got up at a decent price. Just waiting for the invoice to come through so I can sort the payment. I’ll update this thread when I know more.

I actually called them earlier today. The person I spoke to was polite and explained that I can view the car if I want, but the 10-day inspection and refund guarantee only applies to cars that go through their delivery programme. Now I’m unsure what’s better, going up to Belfast to see it myself or using their delivery option. Has anyone done the delivery route before?

Hi everyone, I’ve recently come across a company called Grimes Transport while looking for a car on Facebook Marketplace. They’ve got a few cars that seem much cheaper than the usual market prices, which immediately caught my eye. Has anyone here had experience with Grimes Transport for purchasing a car? I would be grateful for any insights or experiences you could share.

I am aware that it is irrational to observe M automobiles lacking folding mirrors. I have observed these equipped solely with rear parking sensors. BMW tends to impose charges for these additional features that are often included as standard in other vehicles.

If a button is absent, then folding mirrors are not equipped on the vehicle as normal.

3,000,000 miles

Oil and filter are changed every 6,000 miles after the first 3,000 miles. The chain was replaced. How many miles will it last? Please do not provide an answer.

I never said that it would. It will temporarily reduce the noise. For instance, suppose you travelled from Norfolk to London by car. The chain began to produce noises; adding a can of Wynn's or STP may increase the likelihood of reaching home. No one has disclosed the mileage achievable on a new chain after 300,000 miles.

I spoke with a BMW expert on this matter, and he said that if the vehicle has over 300,000 miles, the likelihood of the crank sprocket damaging the replacement chain is significant. If you own a motorbike with a chain that has elongated to the maximum extent permissible for adjustment. Installing a new chain may result in a lifespan of just one day. Always replace the chain in conjunction with the sprockets. No one will disclose the duration of the new chain's longevity after extensive mileage. Has anybody installed a chain on a 300,000-mile crankshaft?

I saw several remarks about oil additives. Should your timing chain start to rattle. An effective additive will temporarily reduce noise levels. It increases the viscosity of oil. If your vehicle has accumulated 300,000 miles or more, what mileage can a fresh chain achieve? The crank gear resembles shark teeth at that point. Is a cost of 50,000 justifiable for a new chain?

You have provided the solution to your own inquiry.

Have you discovered any solutions?

Vargalant has exceptional reliability, and the ball joints were impressive. It is certainly worthwhile to attempt, since you will save around $4,500 initially (or about $2,500 even after the reduction). Additionally, be aware that success tales are published on this topic. Heating may be the answer; consider trying it. In the worst-case scenario, sell the ball joints and get a significant discount from Audi.

We attempted to proceed, but were unable since the old ball joints were too tight, prompting the independent shop to refrain from applying any force owing to the heightened danger of breaking the whole wishbone. It is important to mention that I am uncertain whether they attempted to heat the ball joint first; I would presume they did not, since I discovered this information later via this forum. Subsequently pursued the whole M14 V10 conversion at a 50% discount via Audi.

As previously said, I believe the glass remains same before and after the LCI. Are you cognisant of the discernible border around the perimeter of the autodim mirror glass? Upon close examination of your mirrors or the links, you may see a faint greyish border around the glass; this is absent in non-autodimming models.
