Greetings and salutations 😃

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.

Stopping both the motion and tilt detectors

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.

How can I get the best automobile video possible?

If it helps, I'm looking at this right now. http://www2.oregonscientific.com/shop....pid=560 The only issue I (think) can identify is the lack of an audio input for an external microphone; if you mount one to your rollbar, all you'll hear is wind noise. You're welcome to use my manfrotto superclamp arm, hi8 camera, and external mic for the sprints I'm competing in, however there are certain "features" you'll need to be aware of before you go out onto the track. -
I agree with everything said above. This is not a well-made film. While you're at it, check the opposite side. Because of the pressures encountered at that location, the two bolt fitting is critical. My brackets on both sides are welded. When reaming to restructure the holes, new bolts and bushes are required.

Help! My BMW 120D M47 turbo isn't working.
CheresX replied to bvlenci's topic in General Discussions
How are you? On my N47, I did pretty much the same thing as you, except I changed the vac hoses and got rid of the swirl flaps. I ended up with the same problem as you, even though the car ran fine before. It turned out to be the map sensor, if that's the one at the back of the outlet. Maybe they don't like to be cleaned. -
Enviosec Group how reliable is this company?
CheresX replied to Matt865's topic in General Discussions
Two months ago, I made a buy through them, and the transaction went down without a hitch, money was processed without a problem, and the car was delivered on time. I had no idea they existed until a coworker of mine told me about them, but I'm pleased to learn that they do. So from personal experience, I completely recommend them. I didn't have to wait 10 days to decide whether or not to keep the car.. Instead, I told the company that I wanted to keep it after just 2 days. -
What are diagnostic scans, and why do I need one?
CheresX replied to Blu_Ray_UK2007's topic in General Discussions
I was wondering whether anybody has used the BMW Software INPA. I just installed it, and it appears to function OK; I can see the error codes and so on. However, it also came with other unnecessary software, such as NCS Expert. Please direct me to a lesson, guide, or user manual that explains how to use all of this equipment. Am I just chasing my tail here, or might I truly utilise them to pinpoint the faulty component? I appreciate it in advance. -
So I purchased it from Amazon XTRONS 10.25-inch Car Stereo Android 11 Octa Core Touch GPS Navigator iDrive System With Integrated 4G LTE BMW 5 Series F10/F11 CIC DSP CarAutoPlay Android Auto Support DAB+ OBD2 DVR TPMS Camera https://amzn.eu/d/415i28L Now I'm pondering if the processor is fast enough or if I should rescind the order and go with this one.
-
Should I simply utilise an app on my iPhone or should I consider purchasing the DAB option instead?
-
The question remains, should I use this new Android display or my existing display? Will I also retain the steering wheel controls?

I take it the microphone already installed in my BMW would work with this?

I've seen these in another post. I also want to know if the xtrons ones are the most recent and how to update the programme when needed.

Specifically, displays. https://xtrons.co.uk/bmw-5-series-android-12-qualcomm-octa-core-4gb-ram-64gb-rom-qsb12fvci?awc=36028_1686983242_9fdb4c8ca7d0ef2aa85ca4fc326fe479 Road Top Wireless Carplay Android Auto for BMW 1 3 5 6 7 Series X1 X3 X5 X6 2008-2012 Year with CIC System, Mirrorlink Support, Navigation, YouTube, Camera

Hi all My 2012 5 series f10 needs Apple CarPlay installed, however after doing some research, I'm not sure whether I should leave the stock head unit and get the kit installed, or if I should switch to an android head unit from Xtrons. The head unit's drawback is that I will no longer have the factory-installed microphone and will instead use the head unit mic. I get to retain the microphone if I choose the first option. Does anybody have suggestions for the best choice? The head unit will run you £424 plus £140 for installation. The alternative choice is £700 for installation. Thank you for your time, everyone.
