  1. I am contemplating the acquisition of a limited-slip differential and need your advice: Should I purchase a pre-owned unit or go for a new one? A pre-owned item is likely to be somewhat worn and maybe less expensive. Require a reconstruction? A new unit will be acquired, requiring startup costs but no reconstruction. I am capable of doing all the necessary labor to install the physical device, plus I know an individual who can provide shimming services for a fee. I own a 323i Touring, equipped with a late ZF transmission (presumably) and a medium case (again, presumably), with a 2.93 gear ratio to the best of my knowledge. I am also contemplating a little increase in ratio. Thus, whether new or pre-owned. I presently have around $1,000 in my budget. Thank you, everyone.
  2. That is what perplexed me. As stated under warranty, allow the dealer to resolve the issue; you have compensated them sufficiently.
  3. Indeed, I have been asserting this for several years; the police have also eliminated them. Although not ubiquitous, it is nevertheless excessively frequent for me to procure another.As Johnny mentioned last week, it appears that the oil pump fails due to one or two factors, subsequently leading to the deterioration of the crank bearings.
  4. I am enquiring if, despite the boot latch being nonfunctional and feeling loose as if it has detached inside, I should still be able to access the boot using the door switch or key.
  5. No, I believe the release handles are located in the boot.
  6. Greetings, everyone. Require guidance on the opening of a W209 trunk. The latch fails to open the trunk (moves freely), and I am unable to access it by any other means, including the key or the door switch. Are there other methods to access the boot for maintenance purposes? Thank you one again.
  7. A District Judge in County Court has little influence.
  8. What is the location of these vents? I have own a P38 for some years without altering them.
  9. If the headlight reflector is only filthy and not broken, it may be cleaned safely. Conduct a search on the maintenance of telescope mirrors and adhere to the guidelines provided. The process is introducing a heated amalgamation of alcohol, distilled water, and pure soap into the headlamp, agitating it, and then performing a rinse with distilled water before drying. I performed this to clean my motorbike headlight reflector which at the time was 40 years old and extremely dull. It significantly enhanced the light output.
  10. The transformation of washer fluid into a gelatinous substance is a prevalent problem, often resulting from the amalgamation of several windscreen washer fluids. Adhere to a single brand, and such an occurrence should be avoided. The gasoline flap should have been a warranty issue; however, because it was caused by the filler cap strap being lodged in the hinge, the dealer would contend that it resulted from user mistake. I am not advocating for this; I am only presenting an alternate perspective. The gasoline flaps on Kia vehicles seem to be susceptible to not aligning properly, and several discussions on this issue exist here. Maintain the fuel cap handle in a horizontal position, since this seems to be an effective option for the majority.
  11. What is the extent of the corrosion? Merely superficial matters? whether so, I would do many abrupt stops from speeds over 60 mph to see whether it improves their condition.
  12. Complete the bonds and retain them; it is always preferable to deal with the devil you know.
  13. I do not own a comparable vehicle, since I have now departed from the stable and acquired a Ford. What does it indicate when the foot brake is engaged? Are the clutches disengaged? Consequently, Auto Hold should logically be same. I cannot see any correlation with deformed discs.
  14. I was referring to a broader context, not only automobile manufacture. For instance, what if the expertise and capability to manufacture high-octane gasoline were to be lost? Consequently, high compression (SI) engines are not feasible. However, we cannot be quite certain that we will not need a high compression (SI) engine at some point in the future. Such matters.
  15. The competition for the lowest price poses a genuine risk to quality, extending beyond mere shrubs. When individuals who offered quality are pushed out and afterward there is a demand for that quality - what then? When the knowledge of how to generate excellence is lost, it may be gone forever.
  16. Connect a set of jump leads to another vehicle and allow it to idle for a short while. This will provide sufficient charge for the C-tek to operate.
  17. I am uncertain on the nature of your grievances. The cost was £40 for each upgrade at the dealership, with no option for self-service, even inside the first year. You now own an alternative.
  18. Somewhat peculiar My 2023 Excel Hybrid 2L had little engine vibration, but only within a certain narrow RPM range, which may have been attributable to the vehicle being new and during the break-in period; hence, some engine harshness was anticipated. Aside from that, the ride was pleasant on most highways. The new MK2 CHR Hybrid PHEV 2L is notably more refined and silent.
  19. No, absolutely not, and I am not very fond of Bridgestone tires. I installed them on my Honda and Kawasaki bikes and discarded them soon after acquisition. My CHR PHEV Design has enhanced smoothness at higher speeds, showing no indications of instability on various road surfaces, save on really difficult terrain. The UK is plagued with potholes and deteriorated asphalt; yet, the vehicle normally manages these conditions well, despite the subpar Falken tires. Previously, I have tested demo automobiles, and they exhibit little similarity to the current vehicle in terms of noise management, among other factors. If this persists, I recommend seeking a another dealership, unless the Turks have developed an aversion to Toyota Corp and are improperly installing or deviating from the stipulated suspension, which I find very improbable. The enigma intensifies. What is the UK market equivalent of a CHR Limited?
  20. I have not observed that my CHR MK2 Design PHEV is equipped with subpar tires, namely FALKEN, which has a commercial affiliation with Toyota. They are rumbling and loud in contrast to Michelin Sport, which offers a smoother and quieter ride; yet, the car's ride is not jarring like my last unpleasant VW Troc. Your CHR seems to be incorrect. You may need to verify the tire pressures, since they might be overinflated, and ensure that the tires are properly balanced. I would consult a tire and wheel professional for reassurance.
  21. What is the maximum tyre size and width that I may use?
  22. I already mentioned my preference for using tires with the specifications of 245/30 R20. However, I must admit that I had some difficulty in comprehending the information provided on the page.
  23. I own a 2021 Range Rover Evoque vehicle, namely the P300e SE RD variant. I now have 235/50 R20 tires and I want to switch to 245/30 R20 tires. My issue is whether or not I can use these tires. If I am able to, I must purchase wheels. Therefore, I would want to know the appropriate size of tires for these wheels.
