  1. Search for the Ross-Tech HEX-V2 adapter/cable. https://store.ross-tech.com/shop/vchv2_ent/
  2. Hello, I concur that I examined them last night. There are several options, and I am pondering which one is really worth buying. Do you have any guidance or recommendations? Another aspect to consider is that the learning process is continuous and has no definitive conclusion. Thank you.

  4. Consider using an LED device for the dipped/low beam, however keep in mind that the halogen reflector was not specifically built for LED devices. Furthermore, it seems that Philips manufactures a H7 LED replacement that is compliant with traffic regulations.
  5. The Body Control Module (BCM) located under the instrument panel above the driver's footwell provides direct power to the headlight bulbs. I would anticipate that any garage specialising in VAG automobiles would own diagnostic instruments capable of extracting fault/error codes from the many control modules included in our contemporary VAG vehicles. Begin here. Ensure that the vertical alignment of the dipped/low beam is accurate, since it might impact the brightness of the beam pattern in front of the vehicle. A malfunctioning headlight assembly is a less probable cause, but still a possibility, especially if it is equipped with range control and the motor/mechanism has malfunctioned.
  6. The Facelift B8 A5 model offers two options for headlamp assemblies: halogen (PR-8BD) or HID/xenon (PR-8BP). If you are considering changing or upgrading the H7 bulb, you should have halogen assemblies. Before attempting to "upgrade" the Osram H7 bulbs, there are a few things you should check: Perform a diagnostic scan on the automobile using VCDS, OBDeleven, or a similar tool to check for any fault codes in Address 09 (CECM/BCM) that may be connected to the headlamp output voltage. Verify the extensive programming of the CECM/BCM to ensure that the headlight's "dipped beam" is not functioning at a decreased voltage or intensity. Inspect the vertical alignment of the low/dipped headlamp.
  7. I appreciate your input. Do you have a certain year in mind? Did the face lift occur after 2014? In which year was the manual discontinued? I have several enquiries.
  8. Greetings, everyone. I have no prior experience with the R8. Presently, I own a Porsche GT4 and am contemplating selling it. I am strongly contemplating moving to a R8. Considering my little understanding of cars, I would really welcome advise from experienced owners about the specific model I should choose. I am interested in purchasing a 5.2 manual gearbox vehicle. Furthermore, I am somewhat ignorant about what would be advantageous to search for. I am receptive to either a coupe or a spyder. My budget is between £60,000 and £70,000. Opinions are requested, both from women and men.
  9. Does it have a diesel particulate filter (DPF)? Our 2007 320d model does not have one, but the later 2007 models have. However, I am uncertain whether the 6-cylinder engine variant has one.
  10. https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/outlet-london?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338181125&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X7f70dddbf90ae3058bcbd8d7d492daf4
  11. There is a firm on eBay named outlet-london. I really suggest it, however it did take 6 weeks to complete, which is a little drawback.
  12. I discovered a British firm on eBay and reached out to them to commission a personalised wheel.
  13. Thank you. They sent the whole set and customised it to fit my vehicle, since it had a modern type steering wheel on an older model. The price is exorbitant, amounting to £1240. 🙄
  14. Recently, I installed carbon seat inserts and found that the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) steering wheel seemed outdated. Therefore, I made the decision to buy a new carbon steering wheel customised to my specifications. The product has a carbon fibre top and bottom, Alcantara sides, and an airbag with white stitching. It also includes a white 12olock band. I see that it enhances the interior to some extent. Please feel free to share your thoughts.
  15. Perform a search on eBay using the keyword "E46 M3 breaking", if you like.
  16. Several of them seem aesthetically pleasing: https://www.themarkmotors.com/used-lamborghini-boerne-tx?limit=22
  17. I consult with a specialised Mercedes-Benz expert. Typically, he is content to install standard components, but when it comes to springs, he has a preference for MB. I defer the decision to him, despite the fact that the components have a higher price tag, the cost of labour remains same, resulting in just a little higher overall expense in the larger context.
  18. Upon reviewing the MOT records for my last vehicle, a 21-year-old diesel 330d, I saw that it had failed due to issues with the rear subframe and other components. I sold the car six years ago when it had accumulated 157,000 miles.
  19. I just acquired a stunning new Kia Xceed in the elegant colour of phantom black. 😊 The car operates flawlessly without any problems. Now, I will proceed to drive home. Ecstatic young male 🙂
  20. It is the appropriate time to depart and inspect the condition of the automobile. The journey is expected to last around one hour and fifteen minutes. Leicester is an ideal location to establish a traffic light supply company. With the potential for significant growth, one might amass a fortune within a few years. Additionally, the weather in Leicester is often dry, which may be seen as a favourable condition.
  21. I have had autos of various colours. I really like the act of washing vehicles and motorcycles since it provides me with a sense of relaxation and tranquilly. I was looking for a dark red colour, namely the Infusion red shade, but there are not many available with low mileage. I was on the verge of purchasing a light blue vehicle with a 23 plate from Car Shop Northampton for a price of 17.5k. However, I discovered that the vehicle has accumulated 14500 kilometres and is 14 months old without having had any servicing. Despite consulting my local Kia store, they informed me that the recommended service interval for these vehicles is either 12 months or 10,000 miles. It is advisable to get the car serviced immediately to avoid any future issues. It is unfortunate, since the car's appearance in that colour is rather impressive.
  22. The hue "lunar grey" is aesthetically pleasing. We had a 21 sport waggon in that very colour. I have a strong affinity for lustrous, highly reflective surfaces, particularly those with a deep gloss finish. However, I find it difficult to appreciate black and gloomy tones. This item is priced at 19,000, which is a significant discount compared to its original price. One can only hope that the actual appearance of the place matches the visual representation shown in the photographs and videos that were shared with me.
  23. I am heading to Leicester this morning to inspect a 6-month-old xceed 1.5 3 model with 1150 miles on the odometer. The Kia demo vehicle is expected to be accurate and precise, however there is a possibility that it may not meet expectations. The automobile is a new model in black and is quite aesthetically pleasing. I should possess more wisdom than to purchase a vehicle of a dark hue, although I remain a youthful and audacious person of 58 years of age.🤣🤣 I will evaluate the performance of the vehicle before I exchange my Sportage for it. 😊
