Thank you for the responses. I really value them. A prevalent theme is to maintain it and do further oil changes. I will communicate with the garage. Thank you one again. You have validated my intentions. I recognise that a time will arrive when I must decide to replace it, but I hope that will not occur for another year or two. At my present pace, the project is projected to reach 100,000 within two years... I have never had a vehicle for that duration!

Hello, I have an unrelated inquiry. I own a 2016 4 Series Coupe, namely the 420i "Luxury" type, which I much like. It is the kind of vehicle that prompts one to glance back after parking. The vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter petrol engine and has undergone thorough servicing and maintenance conducted by BMW-trained professionals in a reputable and busy independent workshop, rather than at a dealership. They have been maintaining it since the dealer service warranty ended after my purchase of the vehicle brand new. I am the only proprietor. The mileage is approaching 82,000, prompting me to consider a replacement due to its age and mileage. The one time it has failed me is when a water hose ruptured. It is enjoyable to use, comfortable for extended travels, and equipped with all the necessary features. Currently, we are accumulating between 150 to 200 miles every week. Travel is mostly local, with a weekly commitment to care for grandchildren including a round journey of around 100 kilometres. I am curious if anybody has insights into potential issues we may anticipate with a 4 Series of that age and mileage. I understand that forecasting is inherently uncertain, but are there any factors that may be considered more "routine" that I should contemplate, which would influence my choice towards "exchanging it before incurring significant costs" rather than "retaining it for another 12 months"? Thank you in advance for your responses.

Common error! -
This likely does not bode good for the next year, since averages are often reliable indicators. 😂

2016 Tesla Model S (Facelift) Category S (Salvage)
Trevorseaf replied to cumblechook22's topic in General Discussions
FSD has little significance in the UK, whether applied to salvaged vehicles or otherwise. Consequently, the number of individuals pursuing legal action to reclaim their funds. If the original poster intends to spend £1,000 just for Full Self-Driving, I would highly recommend that they use those funds towards drugs and prostitutes instead. Increased likelihood of reaching your target 🙂 -

2) Highly likely to be accurate in the UK - identical to all other Teslas 🙂 -
What are your thoughts on this? - Inexpensive W204 Estate

Aside from the inside resembling a builder's scrap, the outside is rather intact; nonetheless, a thorough inspection of the rear subframe is necessary. The advertisement indicates the availability of a "12 Month MOT." Uncertain how they will do it with the Check Engine Light on. -
Visit the dealer to have the headlight alignment inspected and verify the tire pressures. Additionally, check if you have a weight in the trunk or if you have neglected to activate the headlights, relying only on the bright daytime running lights.

The tire size calculator indicates that a tire size of 245/45 provides the diameter closest to your previous tire size of 235/50.

If you want to install a tire that is 10mm wider while simultaneously reducing the sidewall by 20%, it is important to note that this adjustment is excessive. It will result in a smaller circle, which will therefore damage the accuracy of your speedometer. The circumference calculator recommends reducing the aspect ratio to 45% in order to get a comparable size of around 245/45x20. The numerals on the tire indicate specific measurements. The first number, 245, represents the width of the tire in millimetres. The second number, 45, indicates the sidewall height as a percentage of the tire width, not in millimetres. Therefore, it is 45% of 245mm. Lastly, the number 20 simply refers to the diameter of the wheel. Increasing the width of your tire by 10mm results in a 5% reduction in the sidewall ratio in order to maintain a similar circumference. The result of calculating 50% of 235mm is 117mm. The result of calculating 45% of 245mm is 110mm. The result of calculating 30% of 245mm is 73mm. The disparity between 117mm and 73mm amounts to 44mm, which is about equivalent to 2 inches in the imperial measurement system. Although it may seem visually appealing and I myself like narrower tyre sidewalls, it will significantly affect the accuracy of your speedometer.

V10 Plus R8 - tuning, exhaust, e85, and dyno specs?

V10 Plus R8 - tuning, exhaust, e85, and dyno specs?
Trevorseaf replied to TDudette's topic in General Discussions
There is a tuner that performs tuning services for a corporation that has completed this task and shared it on the Dyno Spectrum Facebook page. The cost of a Flexfuel sensor is $300, not including installation. The cost of a DS1 and tune file for E85 is $3400. The exhaust system is priced between 3000 and 6000 USD. It is capable of producing 606 watt-hours per hour, which translates to around 680 to 700 horsepower for the engine. The total cost ranges from 6700 to 9700 USD, depending on the exhaust system you choose. That is certainly achievable. And you maintain the same sensation of the vehicle. The supercharger will provide around 670-700 wheel horsepower at a cost of $31,000, and it also produces a distinctive whining sound. The turbo all-inclusive installation package includes the same amount or more, and it also includes turbo lag, which I am not interested in. That is a significant disparity. Regarding the comparison between tiny gains and the stock market, there is a trade-off in terms of financial returns. -
The rear brakes of the 2020 316 4x4 are overheating.
Trevorseaf replied to bvlenci's topic in General Discussions
Did the garage repair all the springs and shackles when they changed the brake shoes? The shackles are susceptible to seizing. Additionally, please inspect the cable compensator since it has the potential to become immobilised. -
Can you confirm that the headlights you are installing are specifically designed for a vehicle model that has undergone a significant update? Have you changed the bonnet as well, if that is the case? I am inquiring because the headlights of the facelift version have a distinct form compared to the pre-facelift version.

Undoubtedly, the Suzuka Grey colour is the only option available for the GT model. It is quite unlikely that the Ice Silver colour was offered for this particular model. Suzuka Grey appears white in direct sunlight, but takes on a grey or silver hue with a subtle blue undertone under gloomy conditions.

BMW - Suspected Arson - Seeking Advice
Trevorseaf replied to cumblechook22's topic in General Discussions
Seek the assistance of a reputable Solicitor instead of further delaying the process. They will see you as an inexperienced person (without intending to offend) and will dismiss you repeatedly until you get exhausted and frustrated, ultimately leading you to accept the simplest and most effective solution that benefits them. The ultimate determination of the reason may need a significant amount of time since the insurance assessors and the police will ultimately determine the conclusion. Remember that your automobile is not the only vehicle that has been damaged, which means you may find yourself in a line of prospective individuals seeking compensation. I anticipate / want that the automobile be insured regardless of the reason. Wishing you the best of fortune in achieving a prompt and effective outcome. -
Last year, I got an infraction from Italy. While in Bologna, I traversed a central plaza by car. Individuals who have operated a vehicle in this chaotic city centre are well aware of the perplexing nature of the experience. Eurocar used my credit card, which I had employed to lease the vehicle, to settle the ticket payment.

I am still experiencing a misfire with my vehicle.
Trevorseaf replied to Trevorseaf's topic in General Discussions
Is the solution as simple as changing the valve seats, or are there more components such as valves that need to be replaced? Thank you. -
Since purchasing the 2009 Mini Cooper non-turbo, I have been experiencing a misfire in cylinder 3. I have altered. Every every coil. Every every spark plug. Both variable valve timing (VVT) solenoids. Both cam sensors were affected. Two fuel injectors are needed for cylinders 2 and 3. Sealing gasket for a valve cover. Apologies, but I'm not sure what "Pcv." means. Could you please provide more context or clarify your message? Thermostat and housing. Comprehensive assistance Currently, there is no gasoline filter in place. Recently acquired AGM battery. The chain was replaced 30,000 miles ago. The compression test was conducted twice two weeks ago, and all results were within the acceptable ranges. I always have my Veepeak OBD2 device plugged in, and I just acquired a Creator C501. When I connect the c501, it fails to scan any codes, unlike the veepeak which is able to do so. Am I making an error in my procedure? Furthermore, it indicates the presence of a misfire in cylinder 3. Based on my observations, there are air flow problems specifically in cylinder 3/4.

Hello! The driver's seat is malfunctioning.
Trevorseaf replied to Rashman4u's topic in General Discussions
Ensure that you locate instructional repair videos prior to disassembling the item in order to determine the next course of action. Google will provide several results just for Range Rovers. Additionally, we provide estimates for the cost of repairing and replacing generic components. Make a choice on whether to hire someone or do it yourself. Then proceed to either locate a store or explore potential sources of components and proceed to repair it. Apologies for the lack of specificity, but these devices have many similarities in terms of numerous servo motor implementations, limit switches, and other components. No complex or advanced techniques are involved, so the most effective way to learn is by directly interacting with the physical devices in a three-dimensional, vivid manner.
