The rear discs on my E250, which is a 14 plate model, are now solid and have a thickness of 10mm when they are new. I have noticed that there is an additional choice available for rear brake discs, which are vented and have a diameter of 22mm. Can a switch to a vented system be made? Thank you.

Utilise comparison websites to get the best insurance rates. I went from LV, who increased my premium double, to Tesco. Obtained a more advantageous agreement by purchasing via the TCB (TOPCASHBACK) website and received a £45 rebate. LV is an excellent insurance company that stands out for being one of the few insurers who provide coverage for panoramic roofs.

It's simple to buy a used automobile and pour money at it. My advice for a 90k miler is to simply keep going and deal with problems as they come. Get to know a reliable expert you can rely on to be practical when it comes to repairs and maintenance if you can't handle it yourself. If you want to retain this for the long haul, I would be more worried about corrosion, especially on a 26-year-old vehicle. Maybe you should have the undercarriage checked out and protected against rust. There are plenty of new and used components available, and most of the other equipment is just bolt on/off.

The advice (from several sources) differs greatly. (Highlighting) "Unless explicitly requested, there is no legal requirement to notify your insurance provider about your enrollment in a speed awareness course."If they do, it is crucial that you maintain honesty, since failing to do so might result in your vehicle insurance being invalid. The official website of my insurance provider, LV, declares: "There is no need to notify LV that you will be attending a speed awareness course or that you have already finished one." Please submit details about any demerit points on your driving licence as a consequence of a traffic conviction or fixed penalty notice.It is recommended to quietly scrutinise the policies of your insurance provider.

Prior to starting the ignition of your 2008 Clubman S, it is advisable to adhere to the following safety measures: Inspect and replenish all fluids, including oil, coolant, and brake fluid. Recharge or replace the battery. Examine the gasoline for impurities and consider including a fuel stabiliser. Inspect the tyres to ensure they are adequately inflated. Inspect belts and hoses for any indications of degradation. It is advisable to replace the oil and filter in order to avoid a dry start. After completing these procedures, engage the engine and let it to idle for a few while before commencing driving.

It seems that the oil control ring around the piston is made of plastic, which is surprising. I am certain that the design is of poor quality.

I was unaware that the oil control ring was made of plastic. It seems that the engine designers were likely aware of the flawed design.

I am now considering the removal of the cylinder head and oil sump, extracting the pistons, replacing the valve stem oil seals, removing all the valves, thoroughly cleaning all components, and reseating the valves. Prior to dismantling the engine, I want to do some preliminary tests. However, my primary objective is to determine the vacuum level at idle. It is important to ascertain if the rocker cover is functioning well. If you agree, I will proceed to immerse the pistons in a substance that has the ability to dissolve carbon deposits. Prior to commencing the disassembly of the engine, I have many tasks that I will attend to. I have previously replaced the rocker cover gasket and removed the sump to replace the oil pump solenoid. The inside of the engine is pristine. The performance is flawless, with the exception of the oil consumption problem. I want to ensure that the piston crowns are free from dirt and that the piston grooves are clean, while also ensuring that the oil control rings are not adhering or sticking. If there is no improvement, then the necessary actions will be taken, such as replacing the cylinder head, removing the oil sump, and addressing any other required repairs, such as replacing the timing chain and water pump. I will remove the engine and dismantle it, replacing any components that show signs of wear.

Greetings, I have been researching the aforementioned prevalent problem online. I believe the issue is in the oil control rings of the engine. Based on my observations, driving 100 miles on a motorway often results in the use of around 500 millilitres of oil. Regrettably, I have replaced the oil separator breather, but there has been no difference. I am now contemplating the replacement of the complete valve cover with a new original equipment manufacturer (OEM) one. When I remove the oil filler cap, I see a significant vacuum at idling. Presumably, the vacuum level is considered normal while the engine is at idle. According to my reading, there are two non-return valves located inside the valve cover, which have the potential to get obstructed. I am attempting to determine if the absence of vacuum at idle while removing the oil filler cap is a typical occurrence or maybe indicative of a malfunction with the rocker cover. The mileage is around 115,000. The engine is clean inside and there are no fault codes. However, the rear of the exhaust is covered with soot. The average fuel efficiency over the last 1000 miles is nearly 50 miles per gallon. I would very appreciate any advise from other members. Additionally, I have seen that I own an incorrect vacuum pump, since it is equipped with a small outlet intended for the N18 engine, which is now blocked off. I am certain that my engine is the N16. Finally, use BMW LL04 specification oil with a viscosity grade of 5w30. Thank you in advance

Let us hope that they do not damage or spoil Bugattis.

Are you experiencing an auxiliary battery error?

A significant number of discs labelled as "GERMAN" are manufactured in other countries. It is advisable to search for discs that are really produced in Germany. ATE was once manufactured in Germany, although it is uncertain whether this is still the case. Porsche will not manufacture their own discs, but they may require stricter standards from the vendors they choose. https://911uk.com/threads/who-supplies-porsche-with-brake-discs.121661/

From whence do you get these manuals?

I purchased the lenses from a vendor on Ali-Express. These goods are not available for individual purchase as OEM products. Nevertheless, they are simply made of transparent polycarbonate material. I have never come across rear lenses that are sold individually. Generally, rear lights are more affordable than headlights, which is why most individuals choose to replace the whole set.

I personally completed the task on my own for a total cost of £350.00. It is not too challenging for a proficient do-it-yourself enthusiast. The photo below shows the previous lenses in their original position prior to the installation of the new ones.

What is the reason for not doing it? Yes, I do! Exhibit intelligence. It is not possible to purchase a Rover that is 10 years or older and expect the dealer to accept any amount of money without question. To be eligible for participation in Rovership, one must possess a high level of intelligence, a low level of intelligence, or a significant amount of wealth. These dealerships specifically target customers that fall into the second and third demographic segments. Conduct a comparison between your car and a Toyota Land Cruiser. At that age, they are about three times more expensive. Used Rovers are inexpensive for a specific reason. You must locate an autonomous establishment that is not inclined to deceive or overcharge you.

To remove the residue, first remove the badge. Then, saturate a piece of kitchen roll with petrol and apply it to the residue. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes before simply scraping off the residue. I have recently used the double-sided number plate tape and it came off in less than a minute. I had been attempting to remove a substance by scraping for almost 30 minutes using WD40 and other methods, but I did not make any progress.

The performance of this product is excellent, with fast and efficient operation.

Due of the latest modifications to my garage lineup, I am facing significant problems. Laughing out loud However, you only have one opportunity, and sometimes it is necessary to indulge in self-care.

Is it preferable to possess knowledge rather than remain ignorant? By purchasing it, you can ensure that this exemplary item is going to a suitable home.

Ultimately, it is really a matter of finances.... 😈 Perform the task. Perform the task...

I am pleased to report that everything has been successfully resolved. The steering wheel adaptor effectively performs its function, resulting in a fully operational system. It is only a question of locating the appropriate individual who has the necessary equipment. Thank you everyone for your assistance.

I have successfully located the necessary equipment, and it is now being sent to me. It is just an adapter that attaches to the squib and enables it to function properly.Will provide an update after the installation process is completed.

Fortunately, no harm has occurred as I have reinstalled the old wheel and everything is functioning well, exactly as it was before. It seems that I only need someone who can execute the technique you have advised. There is hope for a resolution, and I appreciate your assistance.

I have also learned that transferring the squib from the old wheel to the new one is effective. However, I have not personally attempted this yet. I understand that the squib refers to the whole wire harness in the airbag system.
