  1. 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.
  2. Intriguing. I was previously unaware of this. It would be optimal for Waze to provide a smart button; they must have considered this possibility.
  3. 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.

  5. TomTom has recently introduced a direct competitor to the Ooono Co-Driver No2.
  6. 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.
  7. I believe they manufacture springs from chocolate nowadays. Did not see many snap occurrences years ago, but it is now a commonplace phenomenon.
  8. 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.

  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. I engaged a local VelocityAP dealer to perform the tuning and deletion, and I have encountered no issues. This occurred approximately one year ago.
  15. What is your inquiry? All pre-owned vehicles originate as new ones. Amusement expressed through laughter.
  16. Have you verified that the lights are installed properly? New headlights will incur significant costs!
  17. The noise is audible and resembles chain strain in that little movie.
  18. You must upload to YouTube or a similar platform and share the URL. The description suggests it resembles timing chain noise.
  19. 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?
  20. All that Gleams performed well on my M5 in January 2013. I will choose them again. January 2015 for a comprehensive valet and minor repair of the E55...
  21. My previous F11 had the same issue; I successfully removed the rust and addressed the moisture infiltration, resulting in the problem being resolved. If not, you are considering a replacement module.
  22. Examine the module for indications of corrosion, since it is a prevalent f1x problem. Access it via the inspection panel located in the wheel arch liner. A few T20 screws and remove the sliding module.
  23. After three years, I received comparable MOT recommendations, although there were no stipulations to repair the rear discs or pads. Corrosion is likely to occur more rapidly in coastal locations of the UK than inland. The contributing factors include limited mileage and the duration of driving with an inadequately loaded vehicle. When just you and a front seat passenger are present, with no cargo in the trunk, the front brakes bear the braking strain, resulting in surface rust on the rear brakes. My vehicle is parked outside year-round, which exacerbates the rust problem.
