you shouldnt really splice the reverse light feed for anything more than a switching signal

With people so reluctant to use buses and other mass transport, a £250/£300 car with 10/11/12 months MOT is a decent option surely?

I stopped keeping up with the news until recently as the constant doom and gloom wasn't helpful with regards to my mental health as someone, due to medical reasons, who has been increasing isolated and then shielded on top. I decided flipping a car or two would be something to help as...

Just to bring this back to life perhaps... Bought the car with an undiagnosed electrical issue as a non-runner for what I would consider the right price. Spent a number of years as an auto electrician so there is hope. Bought Renolink and have the full dealer level wiring diagrams and all the...

And tbh I thought after coming back on here after a number of years away everyone would be at the fez level... It was 306 D Turbo -> Mondeo ST220 -> Some kind of 530 or 330 BMW then exotica of all kinds.... I got stalled due to psycho ex problems after my E39 530D M Sport and was ashamed to not...

The front grill pieces were replaced previous to my ownership and obviously the rears are original. I find pieces like that such a pita when they have faded. I've had older bikes in the past that I've almost kept moist to the touch with the amount of autoglym bumper care I've used on them...

Drive a Civic/Leon/generic hatch back to back with an E60 530d or if its in budget a 535d. If I was in your shoes it would be a no brainer to get a 5 series. Yes it will be older with more miles but it just a much nicer place to be. I always think people that NEED 5 seats shouldn't be looking...

There may be over 200 million defective units out there that end up being recalled, mostly from Japanese manufacturers but not exclusively. Audi, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes also have recalls active. Definitely related. Hope there is stock to cover his!

The problem is on deployment firing lethal bits of metal shrapnel at the driver - people that have had this happen apparently look like victims of a stabbing or shooting. The extremely low incident rate has me debating to leave it connected... It does scare the **** out of me though.

When I was working as an apprentice autoelectrician way back when, my boss was very fond of Bergen gear, and rated it as well as snap-on but the life time warranty on the snap on stuff pushed him in that direction.

I just received a recall notice for my 2006 Rx8. Doing some reading this appears to be a huge deal and I'm suprised not to find a thread about it here. Who else has had a recall notice? It appears there is no stock in to have mine at any of the local mazda dealerships and this has been a...

You requested a part you knew they didn't have in stock - it may very well be the case the item is an order in part at ford which could mean a few weeks on back order. This is pretty standard practise across the parts industry. You should have planned better, or accepted the oem part.

Only had it about 4 months or so and its been fine.

When we were looking at a TT, I was swayed in favour of an RX8. Just have a quick look, as they are comletely different to what you have here really, but nonetheless you can get them much cheaper than your budget.

Did it all the time on a motorbike, am very anxious doing so in a car.

Bought an 06 231 with Bose, Xenons, electric and heated seats, climate. It also comes with a very cool option which seems to have been fitted to most models... Yes the amazing, almost jet/turbine sounding engine. I paid £1400 with 12M Test and 5 months tax. The bonus was the private plate it...

Isn't by any chance your E39 wheels? :)

Lost the front end on my Honda Blackbird coming round a bend at about 60mph after hitting a patch of gravel. Both lungs puntured, lacerated spleen which had to be removed. Most painful thing I've ever experienced.
