  1. Achtung, spoiler! Despite what some may say, any obd reader will not be able to read Ford codes. You will need to invest in a dedicated device.
  2. Post back and we'll do our best to walk you through the limp mode if you're interested in learning more about it.
  3. Is it possible to remove the current bolt and bring it to your nearby B&Q to check if one of their "standard" metric nuts will fit? The thread count might not be standard, though, in terms of turns per millimetre. They should work with any old bolt if their pitch is 1.75. In such case, you'll have to consult catcar for the 7-digit Ford part number known as the finis code.data, as petesford has previously stated up there. Gather your vin number and input it into catcar.enter your vehicle's information to retrieve version-specific data. To switch to English from Russian, go to the page's top right and click the American flag.
  4. I installed Pirrelli tires on my vehicle; I adore them for their excellent quality, although they are costly. The Pirrelli Scorpions were not manufactured for the 30 previously, but they are currently available. We purchased a 2025 CX-5 and prior to its departure from the dealership, I requested the installation of Scorpions on it. They perform exceptionally well on snow and ice, including both the CX-30 and CX-5 models.

  6. Look at you now!
  7. In other words, our state-of-the-art battleships would fare better against 20th Century... photon torpedoes.
  8. I have already "hollowed out" the middle areas of mine, as if to suggest that something is going inside...So far, I just haven't settled on anything.
  9. Has anyone thought about adding LED light strips, a cold air supply for the front brakes, faux aerodynamics, or anything else to the front fascia dunsel, which are the outermost black plastic parts that don't do anything useful?

  11. It would be perfect for the power figures, thank you. Up front, the BMW/Bristol had 85 horsepower. Surely the M20 was an effective engine back then? To demonstrate their smoothness, I remember seeing ads with a house of cards erected on the camera cover.
  12. Thankfully, a replacement engine—a 2 litre 1987 BMW straight six from a 5 series—is now available for purchase in place of the original engine in a Bristol. Any feedback you have regarding the engine would be much appreciated. A high-pressure pump and a return line to the tank are likely necessities due to the fuel injection system. The transmission looks to be automatic and is likewise made by BMW. What I want to know is if the ECU (which is also apparent in the pictures) need data from the speedo because I can make out an instrument binnacle. On the other hand, does it trigger the rev counter? Additionally, I'm assuming it's fuel, but I should probably check with the seller to be sure. I take it the ECU is where you can adjust the settings, right? Lightweight and aerodynamic, the original automobile didn't require a lot of power. Also, it has drum brakes! I would be very grateful for any feedback you could provide.
  13. My R171 SLK came with factory fit 17s from the factory and that's more than enough for us. Blobcat's 2009 280, which is his daily driver and has logged 100,000 miles, is still on 16s, so I wouldn't recommend going to 18s if you're fond of your teeth and fillings. I don't think 18s are the right size since they will make the ride excessively stiff and unpleasant, make it harder to find affordable tires, and increase the likelihood of wheel and rim damage on our lovely bumpy roads.
  14. Great, I understand. Perhaps it would be best to just let it be then. Maintain a low profile and compensate myself
