  1. Thank you for your response, TDudette. Following your feedback, I began to research the timing subsequent to the flywheel replacement. I encountered the following: “After substituting the flywheel on a B38 engine, it is imperative to execute a re-adaptation procedure utilising a diagnostic tool such as” INPA to verify that the engine control unit (DME) accurately interprets the new component. This is essential as a new flywheel possesses distinct rotational mass properties, necessitating a reset of the engine's adaptive software to avert complications such as vibrations or suboptimal performance. The adaptation process entails the removal of outdated trims and a designated driving test to recalibrate the engine's settings for the new flywheel. Is it possible that the vehicle merely requires flywheel adaptations through INPA or alternative software? The flywheel is substituted with a new original component bearing the same part number.
  2. I hope someone here can assist me. I possess a 2014 Mini Cooper (engine code B38A15A) with 150 kilometres on the odometer. The clutch and flywheel have been replaced. Subsequently, the vehicle began displaying fault code P0301. The fuel supply to stroke 1 will be terminated, and the vehicle will operate on a two-stroke engine. I am unable to determine how to remedy this issue. I have already substituted the spark plugs and coils without success. Is it possible that a sensor is present in some location? Does anyone possess any suggestions?
  3. Honestly, I would not undertake any endeavour if it were not facile, and it was indeed facile. Routing the wire beneath the screen's rubber, through the spaces surrounding the glove box and along the carpet of the centre console was effortless. The rear was even simpler; attempt it, and you will observe.
  4. I owned a MY20 Evoque, in which I had Halfords install a Nextbase front and back camera system. It was previously installed in a Jaguar F-Pace (also fitted by Halfords) without any complications. Shortly after the refurbishment, it began to disrupt the electrical systems. Returned to H's, where it was inspected; aside from a different individual attaching it to an alternate fuse point, he confirmed that it had been executed correctly. The issues persisted, so I consulted an independent RR specialist for evaluation. They elucidated the nature of CAN buses and its potential temperamental issues, suggesting that it should be removed. I complied, and all reverted to normalcy. I still desired a form of recording, so I decided to connect it to the 12v accessory ports. It was exceedingly simple to route the cable from the rear via the pillars and rubber, and likewise, the rear was connected to the 12v plug in the trunk. Both were really effective. No visible wires; installation is exceedingly simple. Did not wish to navigate via the headlining, among other components. Both devices deactivate when the ignition is turned off, unless the parking mode is activated on the front unit. No problems. Attempt that.
  5. Intriguing. I was previously unaware of this. It would be optimal for Waze to provide a smart button; they must have considered this possibility.
  6. I possess marginally greater confidence in Waze regarding the presence of cameras or hazards, particularly mobile cameras, due to the higher volume of user reports. Conversely, I have significantly greater assurance that Ooono will notify me of the camera or hazard, as it provides both visual and auditory alerts consistently. As you and other members have indicated in several forums, I frequently do not receive alerts from Waze regarding camera locations. It is likely due to my adherence to the speed limit; yet, I would still prefer to be aware of its presence. My approach is to utilise Ooono for speed camera and hazard notifications, while employing Waze for navigation purposes. The camera and hazard alerts provided by Waze are an additional advantage.

  8. TomTom has recently introduced a direct competitor to the Ooono Co-Driver No2.
  9. My dealer previously replaced these at no cost in both fobs during service appointments, but they have ceased this practice and now impose a fee upon request. I replace them annually during servicing and, like others, only use high-quality branded batteries.
  10. I believe they manufacture springs from chocolate nowadays. Did not see many snap occurrences years ago, but it is now a commonplace phenomenon.
  11. If changing the bonnet is ineffective, then either disconnect the switches or short the wires as a temporary solution for testing, depending on whether the switch operates by making or breaking contact.

  13. Permatex seems to be the term that emerges from a brief Google search, however it looks hard to get in the UK. Cromwell Tools further offers a Dow Corning product, 730 RTV.
  14. There remains air within. Did he experience data leakage through software?Operating the pump for each corner. I experienced a similar situation a few years ago, but I lacked the time to address it immediately; yet, it resolved itself after a few days.
  15. I have a particular fondness for this rare hue. I am uncertain about the condition of that inside; as you mentioned, I have never encountered one so extensively worn.
  16. The new 5 Series vehicles are aesthetically pleasing; yet, if I possessed that level of financial resources, I would choose to get a 1990s E34 M5, a quintessential BMW that distinguishes itself in a crowd.
  17. I engaged a local VelocityAP dealer to perform the tuning and deletion, and I have encountered no issues. This occurred approximately one year ago.
  18. What is your inquiry? All pre-owned vehicles originate as new ones. Amusement expressed through laughter.
  19. Have you verified that the lights are installed properly? New headlights will incur significant costs!
  20. The noise is audible and resembles chain strain in that little movie.
  21. You must upload to YouTube or a similar platform and share the URL. The description suggests it resembles timing chain noise.
  22. When maintaining engine revolutions at 1500, is there any audible noise? Additionally, at a cold start, is there any atypical noise emanating from the back of the engine?
