  1. Good evening, I am seeking assistance and potential direction. I own a BMW 330 d with customised headlights, and I am interested in replacing them. Specifically, I would want to find headlights that include a yellow daytime running light (DRL) feature, if such an option is available. The vehicle in question is a 2014 f31 model. I would much appreciate anything that is similar to these specifications. Thank you for your attention.
  2. It has been suggested that maintaining pressure on the brake pedal during intense braking, such as when exiting a highway, might lead to the brake pads exerting excessive force on a specific area of the brake disc, perhaps resulting in warping. If the hub-to-disc surface is not properly cleaned and free of rust while replacing the discs, they will not rest evenly on the hub and may get warped. My spouse had this issue many times with a Peugeot 406, and it was only after we took it to a different authorised dealership that the problem was finally rectified.
  3. When I performed the rebuild, I just tightened the components by hand, and I have not had any issues for over many years. In my last automobile, I applied torque to the specified amount. Bolt was initially designed for reusability and had no issues with snapping.
  4. Taxis are also prone to seal leakage. However, because you have not seen any indications, I suggest running the air conditioning for 10 minutes today. As a result of the high temperature, when you park the vehicle, water should be pouring from the pipe located beneath. If not, attempt to insert a wire into the area, but ensure you maintain a safe distance, since there is a possibility that if there is a spider or similar creature there, a significant number of them may emerge upon being disturbed.
  5. Every automobile should have a drain pipe protruding from below, since they are susceptible to blockage by external creatures. For safety reasons, it is advisable to maintain a safe distance while prodding it, since there is a possibility of water being released.
  6. Is the condenser being filled due to a clogged drain in your air conditioning system?
  7. The reset hole is of considerable size and may be easily activated with a ballpoint pen, which is often stored in the glove box. This is particularly effective since the reset function only requires a brief and temporary push.
  8. Insurers have a strong aversion towards young and inexperienced drivers because of their overconfidence. Fortunately, he managed to survive and perhaps, he has gained valuable insights from the experience. Enrol in a handling course.
  9. Immerse the adhesive in WD-40, which will effectively loosen any glue residue.
  10. If the situation is really unfavourable, it may be classified as a CDO (Certified Disaster Only). Rest assured, there is no need for concern.
  11. It is advisable to either visit MB Newcastle in person or attempt to contact them via their eBay page. Their assistance is often really beneficial. 👍
  12. To find Mercedes breakers, just do an online search. There are several options available, however it is advisable to inquire about pricing at your local Mercedes-Benz parts department. I have reservations about its high cost.
  13. I am uncertain whether it is just me, but I am unable to see the location to which you are alluding. Simply inquire about the pricing with your nearby MB parts department. In addition to a circuit breaker, where else can you get a certain trim component?
  14. Verify this information on the RealOEM website... Regarding my vehicle, namely a BMW E46 320CD from the 55 registration plate. The image is resized, but it should be imported into a photo editor to accurately locate the position of the pipes.
  15. Not too far from Middlesex, then.Please get this message to Jason @ BWchiptune if possible. I have his contact information, which can be easily obtained from his Facebook or website. Many others on this platform can confirm his credibility. Despite being 400 miles distant, I have personally used his services many times.
  16. Any reputable tuner would not do mapping on a vehicle with existing flaws. If they do, they are unprofessional and inexperienced.What is your location?
  17. Another option is to purchase the item from Amazon and use their return policy (see whether "Free Returns" is stated in the item description) in case it does not meet your expectations. Although this method does not allow for a direct comparison, it ensures that you will not be left with a defective product.
  18. Have you received the confirmation email from EMaC about your online purchase? There is no need for concern. I purchased one item in-store and the other item online. The dealer is aware of the existence of a service plan via the system. That is the only thing that is important.
  19. Are you suggesting that it will happen suddenly and without any prior notice?
  20. By equipping the vehicle with drag radials and maybe implementing weight reduction measures. I have seen several instances of SC63 in the tens on the forum.
  21. Hello everyone, I have just put the PTG supercharger on my C63 together with the Fi Interchiller. As a result, I have achieved a significant increase of over 250WHP (wheel horsepower) on 95RON gasoline with the assistance of an octane booster. What is the maximum power that the factory P31 motor and gearbox can handle? I am currently using the factory pulley, but I have the option to switch to a smaller pulley, which would result in a significant increase of 30-40 wheel horsepower. Is it advisable for me to proceed with this action? Is it guaranteed to be secure? I want to achieve a quarter-mile time of less than 10 seconds with my automobile. The automobile was tested on the same dynamometer and fueled with the same gasoline. The vehicle's excessive movement on the dyno prevented them from reaching the rev limitation. If they had managed to reach 7k RPM, the car would have produced 680WHP. The chiller is essential for SC automobiles since it effectively maintains low temperatures and reduces the need for further ice top-ups. since the AC condenser receives more airflow, the water temperatures decrease, resulting in colder conditions.
  22. Purchase a can of spray paint that is of the same shade as the colour black. Choose between gloss, satin, or any other available finish. Apply a little amount of the substance into the cap and use a delicate artist brush or toothpick to gently touch the damaged area. The aforementioned method will provide you with the most optimal and cost-effective paint match.
