  1. Ignoring worries about hybrid batteries in the future is a smart move. These Hybrid gremlins aren't exclusive to Mazda, in my opinion. Giving up 10 mpg meant simplifying the system and eliminating the need to buy an expensive hybrid battery, both of which I did.
  2. Being an amateur, I would suspect something else could be at blame.
  3. The rear camber appears to be quite similar to my E91, measuring -1* 47' and -1* 42'. My own measurements are -1* 55' and -1* 46'. The difference between the E91 and your Xdrive 5er is somewhat more noticeable, but I'm not sure how significant it is. The toe is also slightly more.
  4. The number of cloned cars on the road is already high enough; why make it easier for them? My top tip: retake that photo with the number plate and vin removed.
  5. No issue, although I may need to withdraw that assertion. The Bentley is equipped with two batteries of identical dimensions, thus charging them simultaneously in parallel is acceptable. I am uncertain whether the same principle holds for batteries of varying sizes. I appreciate your revisiting the matter, as it allowed me to reflect further on it.
  6. You ought to be capable of charging both batteries using a single charger if you understand how to connect a few wires in parallel. I intend to execute this on a Bentley I possess that contains two batteries in the trunk.
  7. Based on my experience with my other mini, I know that the pump isn't the problem. After reviewing the scan tool's data, I've narrowed it down to one issue: the fuel rail pressure is only 1.3 mpa, while it's 5.2 mpa on my other mini. My only remaining guess is that the fuel rail pressure sensor is giving a false reading and preventing the engine from starting.
  8. They were all removed from a running vehicle, and the sensors that were in there were likewise tested on the running vehicle and found to be in working order.
  9. ey there! I just acquired a 2007 R56 Cooper S. The test drive was great, however the seller wanted it gone fast because he was going on a six-month work trip (which I verified). Any advice? We drove out after agreeing on a price—which was ridiculously low—but the vehicle suddenly stopped working on me after just 4.6 miles.I am an old-school mechanic who is familiar with carbs and distributors, so I thought this would be easy. However, it ran out of fuel when I was on a busy road, and I tried to start it until the battery died. Now, two weeks later, I have bought a second-running R56 Chevy to try to fix it. It starts up and runs smoothly, but that's about it. Following is a rundown of everything I've done thus far; I've swapped out all the parts for runners and it still operates, however a quick Google search revealed that the HPFP change was unsuccessful. The reader displays 27ce codes. Revised hpfp Revised lpfp to Vanos solenoid replaced Replaced the camera's sensor Modified maf sensors I used the setting tool to verify the timing, and it was perfect. During priming and cranking, 12v at LPFP Ignite all four spark plugs Has the sensation of exhaust pressure when turning the crank Cold compression test results show 155 to 166 psi. I use the easy start method, however it only moistens the plugs. Both horsepower and torque gages show fuel rail pressures of 1.3 mpa on the reader and 5.1 mpa on the runner. The only sensors I haven't switched out yet are the ones for fuel rail pressure and crank, and now I don't know what to do. Who can provide me a hand?
  10. The executive bonuses are also very good.
  11. Much obliged. I just updated my first bimmercode, which allowed my TV to function while driving. It's really easy to use.
  12. My home is in Wales, yet I'm Scottish. I found this old obe with only 53,000 miles on it, and it's in almost mint condition. I've always owned a volvis, so it was time for a change.
  13. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_nkw=timing+chain&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338181132&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X0fefcda91f46e4baa8d44588828dbadf&subId2=15
  14. This is just one more reason why you shouldn't use the start-stop feature on these engines; it could be related to the chain.
