  1. Timing Locking Tool Kit For 318D E90 E91 120D E81 E82 E87 2.0 3.0 Engine : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive
  2. My daughter operates the final N47 face lift, the F11. She got it at 60,000 miles, and so far there have been no rattles. However, she has changed the oil every 10,000 miles. There have been fourteen oil changes recorded in the vehicle's history. I hope everything continues to run smoothly!

  4. For towing the grandkids and maybe even a small camper, I recently upgraded from a 2016 CX-5 to a 2026 CX-90. Here we are, at the halfway point. Although my wife mostly uses it, I'm looking forward to getting behind the wheel of this because I've always admired the CX-5's handling. Plus, it's incredibly roomy and has all the bells and whistles. Oh, how I adore you!
  5. This is the D165 HSE model from 2021. Until then, they didn't specify the plan; they simply assumed I could get by without a vehicle. Central JLR informed me that they will try to arrange a courtesy car if I have the vehicle towed to a Land Rover garage. I was able to get in touch with them today. What started out as a beautiful car has become a living nightmare due to the numerous problems that have plagued its production.
  6. The warning message advised me not to drive and to pull over safely after the update, which was maybe four days later. The problem has been located, and the update has confirmed that the DC-DC converter is the source of the error codes.
  7. Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you know that after updating to Pivi Pro OS 4.3.3, my car recently detected this DC converter error. This patch update was intended to diagnose an issue that has been associated with numerous recalls in the US but has thus far not been recalled in the UK. Land Rover Liverpool has been completely unhelpful since I contacted them. I was offered November for a diagnostic assessment because the car is not driveable. November is intolerable, and I already know the problem, so I don't need this. As a gesture of goodwill, has anyone been able to get a courtesy car and get Land Rover to fix this? I am aware that there are no parts available in the UK, so I anticipate a lengthy wait. I am not going down without a fight, and I'm happy to file a few claims on my own. However, I'm aware that I won't be alone in this, and I've heard from an insider that 154 cars have been waiting for the same part at Land Rover Liverpool in the past week, so this is going to be a major issue.
  8. That is an agreeable path and, as you mentioned, circumvents the turmoil on the highway. I had to collect family members from Manchester airport amidst a substantial snowfall and accomplished this using Pirelli summer tires on the BMW X1 AWD; it is an experience I would prefer not to repeat with those tires. I definitely avoided my customary path over Winnats Pass, opting instead for a route through Calver and onto the A6. The majority of my most terrifying encounters have occurred on the A9 beyond Perth. The conditions may appear quite pleasant initially, but as you proceed beyond Pitlochry, the climate begins to shift, and by the time you reach Dalwhinnie, you might reconsider the wisdom of this decision. Upon reviewing tyre evaluations, I am inclined toward the Goodyear Vector All Season 4 or the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 solely based on their efficacy in wet conditions, which appears to be predominant in our observations.
  9. We are located off Ecclesall Road South, and the route to Hathersage from Sheffield takes approximately 10 minutes. Our path to Manchester airport is in that direction and involves passing through Castleton or circumventing it on an unfavourable day. Five to ten years ago, I would have likely invested in complete winter tires on spare rims, as prolonged periods of cold and snowy conditions were more prevalent; however, in recent years, such weather has become sporadic and considerably milder. Consequently, perceiving all seasons as a harmonious equilibrium that does not require alteration during temperate conditions.
  10. We previously possessed a 2011 BMW X1 XDrive, which, despite being an all-wheel drive equipped with Pirelli run-flat summer tires, demonstrated unexpected proficiency during the limited snowy conditions it encountered, albeit with cautious driving. We have recently acquired a 2023 Volvo XC60 B5 AWD equipped with Continental Eco Comfort 6 tires that possess approximately 5 to 6 mm of tread remaining. We reside in the South West of Sheffield, near the Peak District, where we frequently spend time, especially during winter. We reside on an elongated road situated on a gentle incline, which is excluded from the council's snow removal or salting agenda. Occasionally, the primary struggle lies in reaching a paved road. We maintain close familial ties in northern Scotland, near Inverness, and visit several times annually. The journey spans 400 miles and during winter, it may involve a combination of rain and snow throughout the route. In recent years, the climate has evidently softened, yet certain sections of the A9 exhibit a distinct microclimate. I have operated vehicles, primarily all-wheel drive, equipped with complete winter tires and all-season tires previously. In the past, when snowfall was significantly greater, the full winters (Conti Winter Contact) proved to be a revelation, and possessing an additional set of wheels was quite advantageous, as they tended to be somewhat unstable in the milder (+7 degrees) and wetter conditions. I equipped an Audi A3 Quattro with Michelin Cross Climates, and they performed admirably in various conditions, representing a compromise yet more suitable for our present climate. I would appreciate hearing others' opinions and experiences, as well as any recommendations regarding tyre brands.
  11. Good point when people hear "segregated account" and automatically translate it as "escrow". They're not necessarily the same thing
  12. That's how I'd approach it inspection period is pointless if you don't actually inspect the thing
  13. Exactly cheap cars aren't automatically scams, but I'd want to know why it's cheap I'd also ask to physically view it. If suddenly there are ten different reasons why you can't see the car, I'd be gone
