  1. Past hour
  2. Thanks! I've only tested it on the underwater side, but the door still turns on the inside light. I can verify if the passenger side exhibits the identical behaviour.
  3. Is this an issue with just one door, and does opening the door switch on the inside light? This is completely conjectural, but I'm wondering if lubricating the door jamb switch might fix it.
  4. Thanks, and there have been a few "intermittent faults" with the car, but they are manageable and relatively minor.
  5. It is common practice to charge for diagnostic time; however, if a fault is found and covered by warranty, you will not be charged. If you're worried about the finances, you might want to consider enduring the fault until it becomes permanent. It can be quite challenging to diagnose intermittent faults because the car may not detect them when the fault codes are read because it thinks the fault is minor and happens intermittently.
  6. Hello! My Kia has just gone over 3,000 miles and is due for its service at the end of the month. It's the second one in a row. On occasion, the door warning tone has failed to activate. Whether the car is in drive, neutral, or reverse, or if the lights are on or off, it appears to function. According to Kia, they can perform a diagnostic on the vehicle, but there will be a fee. Even if they don't find a problem, I will still be charged. Anything you can tell me would help a lot.
  7. Today
  8. Strong mental picture of a man who, eight months later, died on the Hogs Back while driving his Mk1 Jaguar "at speed" (supposedly 80mph) after passing his team manager's Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. Mike won that Formula One race just a few months prior to his retirement. Every time I look at the painting of Mike Hawthorne's face—which happens once a month—it terrifies me. What a youthful spirit.
  9. Since seeing it in a vintage Classic & Sportscar magazine many years ago, I've thought this shot was cool. Mike Hawthorne and Tommy Sopwith are seen in the photo, who was taken at Silverstone in 1958. The two Jaguar 3.4 litre saloons are wildly pitching as they speed around a bend. The tradition originated in the days when Formula One racers would take their cars to a saloon car event, drive them home, and then compete in the next weekend's race.
  10. At 4.21, the illustrious Giuseppe Busso, whose V6 engine powers my Alfa, appears! That is an amazing film; I appreciate you sharing it.
  11. Even at typical highway speeds, the roads they raced on are "challenging" for a contemporary vehicle. Separate eras. Also, I appreciate you sharing the YouTube URL.
  12. On public roads across Italy, Stirling Moss drove nearly 1000 miles at an average speed of 100mph for two years, starting at 7:22am in the SLR and taking ten hours, seven minutes, and forty-eight seconds to complete the journey. That is why the number 722 appeared on all of his subsequent SLRs.
  13. Those interested in classic racing might find this interesting..... Colourized restored footage. Proper racers get 180mpg on public roads with skinny tires! It makes all racing look very safe now.
  14. Yesterday
  15. Above, it is stated. Almost the same as yours, but older, m57 in my e53.
  16. I appreciate it; that is quite useful. Thank you for that.
  17. I believe the M57 goes from 6 to 1 on the HP pump, then from 1 back to pipe, though I haven't played with one in a while. Turn off the intake manifold job so you can see it clearly.
  18. M57N2 and the fuel return line that extends from the injector's upper end.
  19. By "overflow oil line," do you mean a specific engine?
  20. My 2009 BMW E91 LCI, which belongs to my wife, needs a new overflow oil line. Could someone please tell me what it is and how it relates to something I can't seem to locate? Could you please?
  21. Last week
  22. OK. I was wondering if, considering their history with the site, you wouldn't have expected them to post
  23. As previously mentioned, as forum sponsors, it would surely not be too difficult to mention that policy change here.
  24. Maybe being "Comand Online" was thought to be too limiting.
  25. It appears that trading is still Unique Car Sound's "main" business.
  26. They should have announced it in the forum, but they didn't. Naturally, unless I've somehow missed it...
