Indeed, I installed these when I replaced the entire suspension a few years prior. I sincerely hope this knocking is due to a little issue, but it increasingly appears to be related to the subframe mounting points. This vehicle does not justify the expense of the repairs.

I examined my strut tops and do not believe they are distinctly mushroomed. Perhaps marginally. I placed a ruler on them, and there is a tiny curvature; I am not if this is typical.

Affirmative. Inspected them yesterday. One was recently substituted.

I will examine it today and provide updates with photographs.

2003 BMW 330d Sport Touring, 6-speed manual gearbox, about 149,000 kilometres. I have been pursuing a persistent knocking noise in the front end for over a year and have explored numerous sites for solutions and recommendations. I changed the entire front suspension, including the bushes and both inner and outer ends of the rack, approximately 10,000 miles (3 years) ago. Recently inspected, and they remain structurally sound. Recently replaced the lower control (lollipop) bushings. I have recently replaced the rack with a refurbished one. Recently substituted the shocks and top mounts with Sachs, as I intend to sell the vehicle, although this alteration appeared to have no effect. The steering column link was removed and appears to be in excellent condition. Today, I detached the drop links and circumnavigated the block; the knocking persisted. I am aware that it is not associated with the anti-roll bar in any kind. I also navigated it over several curbs cautiously, and it appears to be more problematic on the front left. All components were torqued upon installation and subsequently re-verified. The only components on the front that I have not changed are the engine mounts; however, the issue does not appear to be related to them. Do you have any recommendations? (apart from incineration, I am inclined). I sincerely hope it is a little issue and not related to the front subframe mounting points. I intend to sell the item, but it is resisting my efforts. It seems to possess an awareness of my intention to sell it.

Hiya, I’m actually just outside Belfast and I do know of Glenside Logistics. They’ve been around a few years doing haulage and freight transport, with trucks branded in their name all over the M1 and the docks area. I haven’t personally bought a car through them, but from what I’ve seen, they’re a genuine outfit, not one of those fly-by-night websites that disappear after a month.

I consistently replace my key fob batteries at servicing appointments; the expense is little and easily recalled as it is noted on the calendar (other memory aids are available). I use Varta, which has shown reliability so far. They also installed the doorbell, which I did concurrently.

Is this the one? They may exhibit some reluctance to replace it. It is advisable to maintain pressure on them to rectify or replace it.

Possible MOT failure if the headlights are fogged and do not properly focus on the test target on the day of inspection. What is the anticipated arrival date of the new headlamp? Depending on the specifications, these systems may be rather costly and difficult to get second-hand.

It may be satisfactory, but it may also be really dreadful. You will soon discover. It may create a jittery situation and be very hazardous in damp conditions. I would definitely choose for all four on a 600SL. These vehicles should seldom activate the traction light unless used foolishly; nonetheless, swapping tires causes it to illuminate continuously. Not universally applicable; some combinations are acceptable, but ensure they possess a comparable tread pattern and load rating, among other specifications. I can now identify it immediately, having seen it many times on vehicles, and it is becoming more apparent. Particularly about more powerful vehicles.

Thank you for the kind remarks. For enthusiasts of meticulous detailing, I had my other vehicle expertly wet sanded to get a completely smooth surface. That is of a superior caliber. When paint resembles a mirror, it has a whole different appearance! Terrifying!

The first step was a comprehensive clay bar treatment. Contained pollutants throughout. Subsequently, it has undergone machine polishing with cutting compound, followed by finishing compound, and concluded with a buff shine. I have leftover Supernatural Hybrid.
