  1. Typically, one should not replace a single spring, since they 'settle' with time, resulting in a consistently uneven stance of the vehicle. Consequently, they are marketed in pairs.
  2. Search for 'vehicle throttle cable manufacturers' online. Speedy Cables specializes in custom orders and additional services. You may need to submit your previous one for duplication purposes.
  3. Utilize Google as a resource; search using the part number.
  4. While there may be some variation, this is my 212 Sport, equipped with factory springs and 18-inch wheels. Personally, I would want the rear to be lowered by half an inch, since I find the Sports to have a somewhat elevated rear stance, in my opinion.
  5. Navigate to Settings on your infotainment display, then choose EV Settings. You will find the settings for the charge lock connector there.
  6. Have you reviewed your settings in the Charge Connector section? There are choices to have the connector secured during charging, secured when attached, or set to "off".
  7. The E46 is not quite a Morris Minor. The vehicle is very intricate, especially by contemporary standards. Uncertain. The peculiar occurrences are attributable to the car's radio, which is not a conventional model but rather a module linked to the i-bus, one of many internal data networks included in the e46. Additional modules linked to the i-bus include the instrument cluster, light control module, among others. Many components in the vehicle are interrelated, serving numerous functions; for instance, the radio antenna also functions as the key fob antenna and the rear window defroster. The antenna is linked to the radio by the k-bus and the i-bus. If the new radio is interfering with the i-bus, it might lead to apparently unrelated malfunctions in the key fob and instrument cluster.
  8. I agree with that. The electrical systems in these vehicles are complex, requiring a sophisticated understanding of electronics and computing prior to any intervention. A few weeks ago, a participant from Norway on these boards reported that his vehicle failed to start in freezing conditions. We determined that his glow plugs were inoperative, and after many weeks of extensive testing, we concluded that the issue stemmed from his flashing of the ECU and the deletion of several files.Had he brought the automobile to a shop for diagnosis, he would have incurred unexpected expenses, and they likely would not have resolved the issue. Maintaining the original configuration is recommended.
  9. Certainly, connect the old one and verify its functionality. If it does, then the new radio is the issue. Uncertain. It is likely supplying electricity to a wire that should not be energised. I would consult the radio's instructions to verify its proper installation and see if any settings need adjustment.
  10. Does everything function properly upon re-installation of the original radio?
  11. Investigate the forum for Prestige; they are very exceptional.
  12. He is very competent and has extensive knowledge; if I recall correctly, he holds an SL. I speak from firsthand experience, since he has assisted me in several matters.
  13. Thank you for the information. I have been attentive while starting the vehicle, since I am apprehensive about the possibility of it malfunctioning unexpectedly. I have encountered several alarming anecdotes, mostly from drivers of the 1 Series and Mini.
  14. It seems the recall was exclusive to the United States, hence I still have some time before incurring significant expenses.
  15. Thank you; it is a manual gearbox, and I did not even take into account the clutch and the dual mass flywheel.
