Greetings, I would want to inquire whether anybody has encountered a boisterous blower motor when operating at its maximum settings. At lesser speeds, the sound is typical, but as the speed increases, a loud noise may be heard coming from behind the dashboard. Please inform me whether anybody has encountered this issue and if disassembling the blower motor for inspection is a complex task.

What specific issue caused the MOT failure?

I use my device on both 19-inch and 20-inch screens, and really, I am unable to discern any difference between them. Ensure that your shocks are in excellent condition, since they may sometimes develop defects. I had an internal failure in one of my shocks, which resulted in a banging sound whenever I encountered a bump, despite the absence of any visible leakage.

Thank you for your valuable suggestions. I will make an attempt.

Greetings, I just had a conversation with Mercedes Benz warranty department addressing the issue of a rusted subframe. Evidently, the non-coverage of the issue stems from the fact that the vehicle in question did not undergo regular servicing at Mercedes-Benz on an annual basis. Could someone provide advice on whether or not this is accurate? The problem at hand pertains to the structural material.

I engaged in further conversation with the dealer earlier today, seeking clarification on the basis for their identification of the evaporator coil. Dealer’s response… Based on our observations, it is evident that the automobile is experiencing a recurring problem. Additionally, the air conditioning sniffer has detected the presence of refrigerant in the car, which can only originate from that specific source. I am uncertain as to whether he is providing me with false information, since the product in question is still covered by warranty, or whether he is being truthful. Do you have any thoughts or opinions on the matter? I would much appreciate any advice. There are two remaining months within the warranty period.

I would want to express my gratitude to all those who have sent me messages. I am uncertain about the compatibility of such items with the X5. The dealer has indicated their willingness to provide coverage for the issue under the warranty. However, as you have previously said, the resolution of the problem necessitates the removal of the whole dashboard. I am uncertain about my inclination to engage in that action, since it is believed to potentially be the source of the issue, albeit not with complete certainty. The confirmation of the source of the odour can only be ascertained upon examination of the coil.

Thank you for your response. Do you have any insights about the potential origins of the odour and the necessary steps to rectify it?

In the year 2020, the BMW X5 has an unpleasant odour emanating from the air conditioning system during the first 10 seconds upon activation. Has anybody had the experience with that? The dealer is suggesting the replacement of the evaporator coil. I would value your collective perspectives. Is it advisable to replace the evaporator coil? We express our gratitude for your input.

I have been using the Arnott Gen 3 suspension system on my P38 vehicle for an extended period of time. Arnotts has consistently encountered challenges pertaining to quality control. It is important to securely save the receipt. I recall used a diminutive drill bit to traverse the eyelet apertures in order to achieve alignment of the retaining pins. Additionally, there is a tendency for leakage to occur in the vicinity of the upper clamp ring. According to Richard's perspective, it is not worthwhile to install Gen 3's unless one can fully use the additional 2 inches of elevation. In addition to the implementation of elongated shock absorbers, the incorporation of extended sensor arms at the rear is also required. There are several methods for achieving more lift. The most straightforward approach is the alteration of the spring seats on the axles via the use of welding techniques to affix new brackets. In the United Kingdom, this situation presents a complex set of challenges surrounding adjustments and testing, therefore rendering it unacceptable. In the United States, it seems that modifications are more socially accepted, making them a more cost-effective alternative. One might choose to continue using Dunlop tires and make adjustments to the EAS heights accordingly.

What happened to the timing?

That shadow has such lovely color! For what does she need to be hired?

Excellent work, indeed. Just wondering how the paint is holding up. How did you color the walls? The throttle body plate on my Intake manifold was broken, and I just pulled it apart to clean and check it. I'm going to assume that you fixed this and follow your example.

It may be used as a suitcase or a suitcase for Barbie and Ken's clothes. Because of the Healey on it, my brother bought it for me at a garage sale.

Here's something fun:

I ended up spending £540 at Brin Jones' Bristol Garage. Outstanding work overall; it holds up well after a year (as one would expect).

Hello! My 5 series's front bumper has been damaged and has to be repaired. I've never had any auto body work done before and was hoping to get some advice. The appearance of the bonnet is the most important thing to me. No mismatched colors or sun-fadeaway paint as someone at my office experienced after having her vehicle doors resprayed (wtf). A body shop in Bristol charged me £750, and they said it may cost up to £1500 to color match and integrate the wings. When I told the guy at the Hereford body shop that the estimate was inexpensive and asked whether the car would end up looking the same, save the scratches, he indicated it would. If it costs £1500, I'm willing to pay it. I haven't checked the price of a new authentic bonnet, but if it's above £1500 I may as well simply get a replacement. Do you believe that £400 is too low and will lead to subpar work? The Hereford repair business was reputable and well rated, whereas the Bristol repair shop said that £400 wouldn't even cover the cost of materials. Since then, I've had serious doubts about the honesty of the proposed £400 worth of work. Thanks a lot!

Greetings and salutations 😃

Try out the SL SHOP; in addition to restoring automobiles, they sell stock components.

Hi all Mark 3 2021 Kuga metal. I got a hole in the nsr that can't be fixed. The plan was that instead of putting on one new tyre, I would put on another new one on the nsf and then switch the nsr wheel with the osf wheel. This way, the front of the car would have two new tyres. The tyre fitter said that it will cost more to have the Tpms programmed so that the sensors stay in the right place. Does this make sense?

I believe that starting in 2016, all VW kessy fobs should be replaced. It was well-known back then, and it remains so now. It wouldn't cost them much in the grand scheme of things compared to the respect they'd get from the owners, which would reverberate throughout the automobile sector, perhaps generating additional business.

If it's not too hot outside, the windows can be opened a little, and the owner is close by, what could possibly go wrong?

thank you for your answer. Why are they said to be good on petrol when reading about them in the press and seeing ads for them would make you think they were? Since I'm being honest, it's not very good. I didn't buy it to save money, but I had hoped for something better. Does it make a difference that it's so cold?

I'm new here and I recently bought a 2004 X5. Having previously owned numerous BMs, I figured I'd give the X5 a go. Wow, this vehicle is incredible. It drives well and is constructed with the typical high quality. However, one thing: gas mileage! I did a lot of research before purchasing the 3.0d model since it was believed to be fuel-efficient (considering the size of the vehicle), so I filled it up when I got it. I've reset my journey and driven over 300 miles on a single tank of petrol. Around 15 mpg is the norm. I knew it would be cold in Perth, but I was hoping for something warmer. Is this typical for the 3.0d in really cold weather? The Webasto heater seems to be in excellent condition, and the vehicle has a meticulous service record. Any help or information is much appreciated.
