Thank you for coming back with an update. That is reassuring to read!

How did your borther paid for the car???

I am following this thread closely as I have been looking at a 2019 BMW 320d they have listed on Gumtree. The price is very competitive compared to dealers near me in Glasgow. My only concern is buying without physically seeing it first. Has anyone here actually visited their premises in Belfast before committing?

Upon my purchase, all data from the prior owner (the dealership) had been erased by the dealership. I had to establish everything from the beginning. If your dealership claims they lack the knowledge to perform the task, I recommend returning to them and asserting that their statement is unfounded.

A wheel's bearings bearing?

You can get all the part numbers and photos for the automobile on www.realoem.com. Just enter the last seven digits of the vehicle identification number (VIN).

The issue may pertain to the steering rack, for which ample information and a repair kit are available.Is it exclusively during reversal? It could also be a flex disc or giubo, among others.

The vehicle appears to initiate operation on the second or third attempt, necessitating the removal of the key each time. Voltage measures 12.33 volts with the vehicle off and 14.79 volts when the vehicle is operational.

This evening, I attempted to use the automobile again. Initially, it failed to start, but upon subsequent attempts, it successfully started. What might be occurring? Refer to the accompanying video.

I measured the battery voltage, which was 11.6 volts. The car was jump-started and functioned properly. Measured the voltage at 14.4V, indicating the alternator is functioning properly; nevertheless, the battery is not retaining the charge. Installed a new battery; the vehicle started and operated without issue throughout the day. I parked the vehicle and left it overnight, but when I attempted to start it this morning to go out, it would not start again. Any recommendations?

During the recent cold snap, the vehicle failed to start. The RAC arrived, disconnected and then reconnected the battery, after which the vehicle started without issue. Inspected both the battery and alternator, confirming that both are functioning properly. Left the vehicle idle for around five minutes. The following day, I attempted to start the car, but it failed to start once more. I assume the battery may be the issue, but could someone share their experiences before I invest in a new one?

My sole consideration is to return it to the individual who "repaired" it.
