    Danger of DAW

    For some reason, when the sun is directly overhead, my spectacles become extremely irritated unless you remove them. It is excessively delicate.

    Danger of DAW

    I set up the star button in the middle of the screen to activate the DAW warning. It can be easily turned off in this way.
  4. "In my day," it was common practice for people to doze off while he was driving, in a caravan, or even in bed, all while holding a lit cigaret. Staff members in the kitchen, catering, and bar often experience this. Too bad I knew one of those chefs."That was back when..."
  5. Our battery life is 59% according to the app, and the GoM shows 169 miles...
  6. Why not just cut a big screw or bolt in half and use it to secure the plinth to the bumper? Or use two sets of sticky strips for number plates? An sticky glob, on the other hand, or a grip filling gun Providing the plinth's front is in decent shape, of course. Your desired level of financial savings is the determining factor.
  7. Or it's actually getting far less than 38 mpg... It's a performance car in the winter, therefore there's nothing wrong with that. Very great automobile, by the way. I really wanted one, but when you mentioned that your Peugeot was quick and smooth to drive, I thought, "Maybe that's my next car right there."
  8. Numerous forum members appear to have exchanged batteries without encountering issues or without specific procedures. Note that the 12v battery possesses a minimal capacity, and if your tracker draws current while the vehicle is off, the battery will likely deplete.
  9. No smoke during startup today or when going to and from work for 5 to 10 minutes without interruption.
  10. Oil is pouring from that location into my sparks. That is what I was informed. I may consider attempting another garage or two.

  12. If the seals in trouble are the valve seals, the cylinder head must be removed; nonetheless, I do not comprehend the requirement for a head skim. Thoroughly investigate several other garages.
  13. 133,000 miles on the odometer, E46 Compact 318ti, automatic gearbox. In recent weeks, I have observed white smoke emanating from the exhaust, particularly after accelerating from a stationary position at traffic lights or in congestion. Engaging in inactivity. I have just taken it to a garage for diagnosis of the issue. The stem seals are defective, resulting in oil contamination of the spark plugs, necessitating replacement of gaskets, seals, and related components. The cylinder head must be removed and also require skimming. They have estimated a cost of between £800 to £1,000. Predominantly labour-intensive, it is estimated to require approximately two days to complete. Can somebody provide clarification on this matter? Is this price favourable? Could other issues arise subsequently, resulting in increased costs? Would you advise consulting a specialist? I have read that it can be altered without detaching the head. Are there any mechanics available for employment opportunities? Indeed, I am reluctant to expend such a substantial amount of money. Thank you.
