  1. Greetings, Could you upload images of carbon wheels? I will share mine shortly.
  2. The batteries are designed to function within a charge range of 20% to 80% to optimise long-term battery life. The battery will charge to its maximum capacity while driving downhill on steep slopes, but it will not actively aim to reach 100%. I have never seen my battery's charge level drop below 20%. The automobile is likely set to maintain a speed above this threshold since there is no benefit to going below it.
  3. Ascending a slope puts significant strain on the engine. The throttle is in a more open position, allowing for a greater volume of air to enter the cylinders. Additionally, the compression pressure inside the cylinders is increased. A greater level of pressure, together with the breadth of the spark plug gap, need an increased voltage from the ignition coil in order for the spark to successfully traverse the gap. If the high voltage is able to establish an alternate route to the ground, such as via the spark plug insulator or by bypassing a plug wire, it will result in a misfire of the spark plug. It is recommended to replace spark plugs after covering a distance of 50,000 kilometres. Begin at that point. To determine whether the issue is resolved, I would recommend replacing the outdated plugs. If not, it is possible that the issue is in the ignition coils, which might be malfunctioning. If the spark plugs have been faulty for an extended period, the ignition coils have likely been strained due to the need to provide high voltage for those malfunctioning plugs, resulting in impaired coil performance. If the issue does not stem from an ignition problem, the next likely culprit would be a fuel pressure problem. Insufficient pressure or volume in the high pressure fuel injectors will result in unsuccessful combustion. If this were true, I would anticipate that you would have encountered fuel trim issue codes, which you did not specify.
  4. Phone the insurance company: "Are there any alterations to declare?"
  5. It is important to note that while removing the double bench front passenger seat, the battery should be detached and not connected with the seat sensor unplugged. Connecting the battery while the sensor is disconnected will trigger the SRS warning light on the dashboard. Regrettably, it seems that you are unable to resetting that particular issue using your standard code reader. I was required to remunerate an MB indy' a sum of £30 just for the purpose of connecting their system and resetting the SRS warning signal subsequent to the removal of my front passenger seat for cleaning purposes.
  6. In recent times, I have seen that during scrums, the scrum half tends to face their own second or back rows and inserts the ball at an angle beyond the hooker's elevated leg, aiming towards at least the second row. This practice has somewhat diminished the seriousness and authenticity of scrums. Nevertheless, if the ball is placed in a crooked manner during a line-out, the referee will blow the whistle.
  7. The potential problem will not arise since the automobile will fail its MOT before the issue can manifest. However, the other parts of the car seem to be in excellent condition, which is promising.
  8. That mileage is quite significant! Although it may seem counterintuitive, if this car had a history of being used as a shared taxi among drivers on rotating shifts in a past life, then covering 300 miles per day is not an implausible figure. However, accumulating almost a million miles on a relatively new vehicle is rather remarkable.Impressive
  9. The MOT underwent revision either in 2021 or 2022 to prohibit the use of LED or HID bulbs in headlamp assemblies specifically meant for halogen lights. Some members claim that their cars have successfully passed MOTs with LED bulbs installed in halogen headlamp units. While this may be deemed acceptable, the problem lies with the individual tester rather than the test procedure itself. The possibility of the owner receiving a fine persists in future testing.
  10. Presently, the Philips X-tremeVision Pro150 bulbs are priced at around £25 per unit on Amazon. Regarding the rough treatment during shipping, the bulbs are unlikely to have been treated delicately while transported from the manufacturer to the importer, distributor, retailer, or any other party involved. The same may be expected for bulbs provided by Euro Car Parts.
  11. HIR2 bulbs have been in existence for around 15 years. They were first used as original equipment in vehicles such as the Toyota IQ (2009 onwards), second generation Auris, and Aygo. Can be purchased on Amazon and other platforms in either the normal or enhanced versions.
  12. The vehicle is a 2008 BMW 320d M Sport. I had a same issue with my iPod, namely, the loudness being insufficient. I experimented with my iPod and made some adjustments to its settings, resulting in a minor improvement while utilising an auxiliary connection connected directly to my iPod. Additionally, I used a separate power cord. The current cable I am using has increased the volume to its maximum output. The cable in question is a versatile 3-in-1 cable that has a 3.5mm socket, iPod dock connector, and USB charging capability. Additionally, I acquired a tiny mini USB vehicle charger from Amazon at a very affordable price. I am convinced that this particular cable will amplify the sound of your iPod to its maximum level, just like it did for mine. Best of luck! The iPhone 3.5mm Audio and USB Dock Cable is 1.2m long and comes in black colour. It may be used for connecting AUX devices. Simultaneously charge your device and play music over your vehicle stereo. This USB 3.5mm In-automobile AUX music/Charger Cable is designed for use with home, portable, or automobile stereos to provide high-quality line-out music.
  13. I first believed that the one posting was my spouse... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Apologies, I will get my coat.
  14. Regrettably, I am not enthusiastic about this matter. Are chiropractors comparatively more or less costly than mechanics?
