  1. Past hour
  2. Whether they were factory installed or added as an aftermarket upgrade also makes a difference. Always remember that it is against the law and counts as a MOT failure to modify an existing fixture to accommodate LED lights.
  3. The 2013 Sportage that my son drives has LED headlights. Until much later in the year, no other brand offers them.Has 2014 maintained its

  5. Have you thought about a less expensive pastime if the premium difference for heavily modified vehicles is a dealbreaker? 😉
  6. Beyond the age/value axis, I don't see much of a difference. Having had both in the past, sequentially, I believe my insurance remained relatively unchanged. If you can reduce your yearly mileage a little, it might help.
  7. I already have an e90 and was wondering if anyone has discovered any cheaper insurance for an e46? I'm planning to use it as a drift car that is still road legal, so I don't want to spend a tonne of money on insurance.
  8. Having a company vehicle for work and a fuel card allows me to average just under 200 miles per month in my C-HR. Hopefully, a test drive isn't going to be necessary for quite some time.
  9. Deserving of a spin in one. Impressive performance compared to the 1.8 GR Sport caught me off guard. Understood about the wheels. A size 18 is required.
  10. Toyota doesn't make anything that I would desire to own right now, but if I were in the market for a replacement for my C-HR, I would give the LBX serious consideration. When equipped with tiny wheels, the LBX can take on an absurd appearance.
  11. In general, I am quite pleased by the apparent improvement in quality. Costs £38 per month for three years with one maintenance visit and three services total. I will compare prices at renewal, even though insurance is a bit more.
  12. How does the LBX stack up against your GR in terms of quality? How much will servicing and insurance cost you? While I wait for the used values to drop, I am interested in the LBX.
  13. I see. After driving a Dynamic and the GR Sport for nearly two years, I'm ready for a change. I got a Lexus LBX Vibrant Edition because I didn't like the new CH-R style. I'm really impressed with it so far. 👍
  14. What happened to my CLS required me to replace the relay and all six glow plugs. Nothin' changed. It appears that one of the fuel pumps is leaking fuel back into the tank, according to further reading. After two ignition cycles, it began immediately.
  15. Make sure the injectors aren't leaking by checking the glow plugs.
  16. Fuel may not necessarily escape when air enters. An 'o' ring seal, located in the fuel filter's center, can serve as the ingress point. I was able to diagnose that using PTFE tape. It is true that a fuel pump can release air. Repair kits have been utilised on that. Engine that was much older, though. A leak off kit was rigged for the 646. Some tubing and plastic soda bottles from a dollar store made up the bulk of it. Clear and efficient.
  17. The fuel pipe connections, for example, are allowing air to enter. Is it possible to also have it sucked in by the high-pressure pump? I need to check for injector leak off. Also, usually this would manifest as a fuel leak, right? I can barely discern any scent of diesel in the slight mist that lingers around a few of the fuel pipes.
  18. Basic possibilities. Air leaking in, most likely through the fuel filter. Too much evaporation.
  19. Yes, this is exactly what I'm considering; I believe it has more to do with fuel than glow plugs. At this point, it's just annoying, but it always starts and runs well afterward. Is anything out there that you've tested or looked into?
  20. Hello! In the winter, my CLS, which has the same engine, acts similarly. It happens frequently that the engine starts the second time I turn the key without trying to turn it over. Does the fuel drain back have anything to do with it? It functions admirably, just as you said it would.

  22. Excuse me, I have a W211 E320 cdi with 108k miles on the om642 V6 diesel engine. Up until a couple of years ago, it was serviced regularly using genuine parts, even by the main dealer. I've got a problem where when it's left for a couple of days unused it'll take a bit longer to start, it always does start but it's like when you change the fuel filter and theres air in the lines, once it does start it runs perfect and will start again that day and even the next no problem at all, its only when it's 2+ days. There isn't a glow plug light or engine management light on, and it's hot here right now (more than 30 degrees Celsius), so I doubt they're needed. Using my rudimentary OBD reader, I have tracked the fuel rail pressure: with ignition on number 2, it ranges from 6.5 bar to 8.7 bar, and when the engine is started, it stays around 300 bar and climbs as the throttle is applied. Bosch made the battery, which is relatively new. I've checked under the hood and didn't find any major leaks; however, I did notice a tiny mist of oil (or maybe fuel?) on the fuel hoses connecting the high-pressure pump to the fuel filter; however, the mist is so tiny that I am unable to determine its source or whether it would have any impact. Can you think of anything?

  24. Was the USB-C port still functional when Halfords returned the vehicle to you, or did it fail at the same time as their work?
