  1. I just acquired it, and I am now enjoying the immersive full-screen experience it offers.
  2. I am eagerly anticipating the release of the coolwalk upgrade. My pal has it and its appearance on our screen is much more attractive. I have upgraded my Pixel 6 to a new version of Android Auto (AA), but the user interface remains same.
  3. I am now facing an issue where the engine has been disabled, and the Emergency Key Access (EKA) system has been deactivated by the prior owner. The Key FOB is not synchronised. I attempted to resolve the issue by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it, but unfortunately, the vehicle would not start. Is there a way to address the issue without incurring high expenses at the dealership?
  4. Greetings, everybody. I am a recent addition to the Range Rover community. I own a P38, 2000 model, equipped with a 4.6 HSE V8 engine, and I take great pride in it. Purchased it with less than 150,000 km on the odometer. I have already travelled 28,000 km since I acquired it.
  5. Black, white, and other similar colours are indistinguishable. They get equally filthy and need the same amount of time to clean. The most important aspect is the way it performs on the road. 😍 Currently, there is a substantial amount of dust and pollen in the environment. However, the rainfall yesterday brought an abrupt halt to that situation. 🤣
  6. What is the level of quality of the carbon extenders on the paddles? Would you kindly disclose the source of your acquisition?
  7. Is there no return spring on the pedal?
  8. Purchase umbrella insurance to protect against unforeseen events. In addition, we ceased making contributions to our 529 plans some years ago owing to an abysmal rate of return. We allocate the funds directly into index funds such as the S&P500. The significant profits in the market outweigh any tax advantages provided by the 529.
  9. You are allotted a certain duration to bring back the car in case it encounters any problems. I find it to be a favourable proposition. The preferred car is delivered to your location, and you have the opportunity to inspect and report any issues. It must be superior than wandering around vehicle showrooms, enduring traffic, and interacting with unpleasant or arrogant salespeople.
  10. My brother purchased a Cooper S from them and then traded it in for an Audi TT. Despite not purchasing the Abarth from them, they accepted it as a trade-in for the Cooper. The old automobile is removed and the new one is delivered, which pleases him. He diligently completes his homework, enabling him to have a clear understanding of what he is searching for. Although he is not a vehicle enthusiast, he is a designer who has a keen eye for detail and does not overlook any shortcomings in the state of a car. He is rather meticulous and particular. He is quite satisfied with Cinch and intends to use their services again.
  11. Not necessarily...it could be rigid at the actuator. I recently had an enjoyable experience with a 1.6 HDI car.
  12. I have a few acquaintances who were adamant about retaining all of their expired tax CDs throughout their whole lifetimes. Feeling rather melancholic - Truly.
  13. Plastic will always be present in the intercooler, since it is located at the lowest position after the turbocharger. If you need to replace the intake pipes, it is advisable to get aftermarket ones, as they are more durable compared to the factory ones, which are prone to breaking. Aftermarket intake pipes are often made of rubber or silicone.
  14. I use pressured air to expel debris by means of a lengthy tube attached to an air line blower. Alternatively, one might utilise a substance such as brake cleaner. This involves procuring a 5-liter container, obstructing the orifice, pouring the cleaner within, and agitating it. To cleanse the pipes, one may affix a cloth to a length of rope and draw it through, yielding satisfactory results.
  15. In order to properly clean the intake pipes, it will be necessary to remove any plastic debris that may have accumulated in the intercooler and pipes.
  16. Only authentic JCW cars are equipped with a larger 211bhp compressor. Therefore, if a Cooper S is listed as having 174bhp to 184bhp, it is essentially the same. I have personally used Mellet products extensively and they have proven to be reliable. Alternatively, you could consider contacting Motorparts Direct and inquire about a remanufactured turbo. Specifically, if you call MPD in Callington and mention that Mini Mike recommended their remanufactured turbos, they will provide you with a price for a complete turbo if that is the method you prefer for fixing it.Avoid purchasing the £250 turbochargers from China online since they have a short lifespan.
  17. There is a distinction between JCW (John Cooper Works) and non-JCW models. The ordinary Cooper S model has a smaller compressor.
  18. Indeed, that plastic object has passed through your turbo impeller. https://www.ebay.com/itm/391074256244?hash=item5b0dd79574:g:2X8AAOSw6WFZ~J1-&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338767388&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1595941X54cc4621552821ad56ccf8a54e7d9786
  19. The most cost-effective method is to install a mellet chra.
  20. The turbo has malfunctioned due to the plastic debris that has entered the intake pipe. It is probable that restoring the turbo oil pressure would resolve the issue.
  21. I resolved my issue by using mapping techniques. However, the potential causes might vary, ranging from a vacuum leak to a boost sensor or MAF sensor malfunction. These components are interconnected, including pressure converters, which may also contribute to the problem.
  22. Has the vehicle been remapped?This code was one of the ones I had when there was a problem with the map.
  23. In my view, determining the price for this vehicle is challenging due to its mileage and engine problem. However, apart from those issues, it seems to be in decent shape. What is the selling price for running variants with similar mileage and specifications?
  24. While I do not really like black wheels, one advantage is that they do not show brake dust.
