I am still contemplating whether to employ the feed-in technique and merely substitute the chain, sprockets, and tensioner, or to fully commit and remove the lower cover as well. Removing the lower cover is a significantly more time-consuming task that seemingly necessitates the removal of the inlet manifold, repositioning the supercharger, and lowering the sump, among potentially numerous other components.

Indeed, I suspect they are of Chinese origin; however, I completely concur that numerous motherboards and other "brand-name" components are also manufactured there nowadays.

I believe my timing chain, sprockets, and tensioner require replacement. I have been examining different brands along with the necessary tools required for the task. Aiming to execute it from the beginning, akin to numerous videos available online. Do you have any recommendations for a brand of chain and sprockets? This kit seems to be rather extensive; does anyone have experience with Maxpeedingrods Performance Tuning Parts | Aftermarket Car Parts UK & Europe? They offer a package that encompasses all components along with the cam locking and rivet tools.

Hello there!

however, no outward signs such as a rattling, loudness, etc.

There are 124,000 miles (210,000 km) on this 2011 BMW 323i U1 sedan with the VIN number E90 (MUE) and the body style Type PG77. The problem only manifests itself with the back tires. In 2020, I purchased IRONMAN rear tires, and they served me well until May of 2025. 2025 Last week, I got stranded in the road after getting fresh new KUMHO rear tires. I had driven around 35,000 or 20,000 miles since May 2025. I noticed that both tires looked like this: My rear tires never make a sound whether I drive over bumps, corners, curbs, highways, or anywhere else. I had my tires aligned four years ago. Is the pressure on them low? while driving in the cold with low tyre pressure Is something wrong with this? I am concerned that the same thing could happen to my brand new Good Year tires, which I have purchased. 😞 😞 I appreciate it.

The airbags on my low-mileage 212 were leaking. Weak in cold temperatures, but fell uniformly on both sides. Never dropped again after replacement. It can be more costly to experiment with the diagnosis technique when you're also paying for labor (multiple visits), therefore I'm assuming BlackC55's proposal is based on their extensive experience. If the air springs aren't going to last very long anyhow, and you plan on keeping the car for a while, replacing the pipes and valve block might be less expensive and less of a hassle than completing the job twice.

I recently removed these to accommodate my side steps and realised I was sitting on a small fortune 😆.

Are they an authorised JLR dealer? Your warranty description does not suggest that. If you are dissatisfied with their handling of a warranty claim, consider reviewing the Consumer Rights Act or consulting Trading Standards. Regarding JLR, it is unlikely you would achieve a favourable outcome as the vehicle is over three years old.

The dealer is unresponsive; is this a big dealership offering a one-year approved used warranty, or a lesser independent dealer providing a three-month warranty? You did not specify.

£115?Well done. I purchased mine for £50, although I could have acquired a completely new one for £120.
