  1. I appreciate your response. Could you kindly indicate the appropriate location to post my question so that more members would view it?
  2. Recommendations for the persistent decline in engine coolant levels? The situation commenced two weeks ago without any apparent leaks beneath the vehicle.
  3. Thank you for your response; I will proceed accordingly.
  4. I possess an X5 30d; is there a method to prevent the radio volume from decreasing? It may be quite bothersome. I have examined the settings but have been unable to resolve the issue.
  5. I am not an automobile salesperson, therefore I will not be searching for a vehicle on your behalf. 😂 I would prefer to purchase a vehicle with 200,000 miles that has been well-maintained rather than a low-mileage vehicle that is leaking oil, has broken springs, and has suffered a failure of the OEM ball joint, likely due to the excessive pressure from the damaged springs, indicating that the springs have been compromised for an extended period, as most OEM suspension components typically endure 100,000 miles with proper care. Your initial post unwittingly provided the answer to your query; if you must enquire about the worthiness of a risk on a public forum, you are merely seeking validation that the risk is unwarranted. It is likely the reason it is at a Citroën dealership, following the previous owner's realisation of the costs associated with repairs at a BMW dealer, ultimately leading them to opt for a more economical, French vehicle that would be less expensive to maintain in the future.

  7. Typically, broken springs would not alarm me; nevertheless, their discovery solely during the MOT stage raises questions about the vehicle's maintenance and care. £20,000 for a 2015 model 650? It may be prudent to purchase the M6 and conserve some funds. 😂 Jokes aside, the individual from whom I procure my pre-owned performance automobiles typically possesses some remarkable options in inventory, and I can personally attest from firsthand experience to his rectification of difficulties that develop post-sale. Currently in possession of a pair of substantial specification 7 and 8 series vehicles that appear to be impressive automobiles. He is undoubtedly deserving of a call, since Josh excels in procuring a diverse array of vehicles, ranging from standard automobiles to Rolls-Royce Cullinans, for his clientele, and his operation is exceptional. His automobile trading page if you wish to browse:
  8. I do not intend to intrude; please direct me as necessary, but what is the price of the car and what is your budget? If it is £3,000 below market value and requires an investment of £1,500, it is likely a favourable offer. If it is priced at market value and requires an expenditure of £1,500, then it constitutes a poor investment.
  9. I believe that due to the tire's deeper sidewall, it is essentially equivalent. I would not be concerned about that, as I believe it does not significantly impact most exchanges.
  10. I installed these 16-inch wheels on a Mini Cooper S, which typically comes with 17-inch wheels. Fifteen-inch wheels are incompatible with a Cooper S because to the oversized braking discs and callipers. A smaller model, such as a micro version, may accommodate a 15-inch size. It enhanced comfort.
  11. Thank you for your assistance. I lack proficiency in automotive matters; do you possess the part number or know where I may obtain it?
  12. I have shaken the steering wheel with the engine off, and there is a knocking noise. Could you kindly direct me to the appropriate part?
  13. I possess a 67-plate 430d, and while manoeuvring slowly and turning, I hear a knocking noise that appears to originate from the driver's side. The steering is smooth, and there is no noise when the wheel is turned in place, but only while turning when moving slowly. I am removing the tray to inspect the suspension components in case it is an arm or similar part. Can anyone provide guidance or identify the issue based on my description, specifically about if it is likely a bearing problem? I have read that some automobiles may lack a repair kit due to varying steering racks installed. Could someone inform me about the specific steering rack I possess and whether a repair kit is available?
