Is the manual somewhere you've looked? Even though I don't recall that feature being available in my 1997, I always drove it with the driver's seat fully reclined :D. Utilising the seat memory, you could achieve a similar effect. I set up '2' so it was identical to '1' only the mirrors were orientated downward so I could see the curb easier when parked.

My car is now running like new after I had the brake lines updated. No longer audible, but produces pleasant booing.

This leads me to my 2006 BMW 530xd e60. My brake lines were severely corroded when I checked yesterday's brake fluid spill. My vehicle is still in my garage. I got in my car today and fired it up; it sounds considerably louder than before, and smoke, mostly blue and white, is coming out of the tailpipe. It seemed like there was absolutely no boost when I drove it for ten minutes to the repair. Being behind the wheel felt like you were in a diesel vehicle devoid of turbo. Even if the RPM reaches 4000, it appears that no boost is applied. On level roads, whether I use cruise control or keep the speed constant, I see that the rpm fluctuates somewhat.

These are the front indicator fuses. The blown fuses are replaced with new headlamp components. Appreciate your assistance

Good day. Is anyone here familiar with the function of this fuse? The 74th fuse in my e63 keeps blowing, and I have no idea why. While researching diesel vehicles online, I was unable to find any information on E63 petrol vehicles with the fuel pump relay responding. Much obliged.

There is oil in the recess of the W203 C180 spark plug.

It's a spark plug gaske that's leaking from the cam cover. -

As far as I'm aware, there is no English word that adequately describes the shape of the spark plug recess gaskets, therefore I used the word "round" to describe them. Well done! -

Because they squeeze each round gasket around each plug, I would assume that whoever changed the plugs last didn't torque the spark plug nuts down correctly at 11nm (I think). The oil will seep past the gaskets and pool around the plugs if they aren't snug enough. -
Hello there, I appreciate you providing that data to me. Once I have the data, I will text you back, but first I need to get an obd2 connector that works with Forscan.

I performed several tests in Forscan, alright. Idle rpm ranges from 690 to 705 rpm, spark advancement deviation is low, and both the short-term and long-term fuel trim are good. The short-term trim ranges from -4% to 2%, and the long-term trim is nearly consistent at 10%. Now my only remaining suspicions are that the vibration could be caused by a faulty engine mount and that the lights could be an electrical issue. I would be grateful for any suggestions or assistance, despite

Greetings, all! Even with the engine warmed up to operating temperature, my 2003 1.8L Mondeo starts shaking when I let it idle. Up until the rpms return, a little pressure on the gas pedal gets it going again. It is said that the idling rpm is fine as it stays at 750 and doesn't fluctuate. Another thing I noticed is that when the engine is not revving (around 1000-1100), all of the lights—cabin, dashboard, and headlights—flicker. I was worried about the alternator, but the mechanic assured me that everything is OK. Your assistance is much valued.

Perhaps the new owners prioritise enhancing the look, adding accessories, or making adjustments. Although those decisions impact the car's aesthetics, the dependability and safety of a vehicle over time are frequently dictated by unassuming maintenance routines. Maintaining a clean driver's footwell to prevent pedal interference, keeping the cabin and underbody free of dirt, sand, or moisture, and paying close attention to the fit and safety of interior components rather than their aesthetics are all simple routines that can make a big difference. These things may not seem important at first, but they have a significant impact on how safe, comfortable, and long-lasting your car is. We welcome the community to join us in this discussion: Tell me one thing a new car owner should know about car maintenance. By offering your advice, you're making a real difference in the lives of novice drivers and improving the driving experience for everyone on the forum. Someone could use your advice to avoid making a costly mistake because of your experience.
