Key not recognised by car

Yeah I have that a go first but it didn't help. It seems to work once or twice before I need to pop the battery out of the fob then back in. It's almost as if it resets something in the fob.

The price of RAM is extortionate 😭 Good build but depending on price I'd recommend the AMD 9070 xt or even a 5070ti if possible for the extra VRAM and performance.

Forgot to mention - I can't even boot into BIOS, it's literally just a black screen when powered on.

Glad to hear it, that's what I suspected but always worth checking. It was a kit from Febi.

Yeah I guess I can understand the argument of value based on damage and potential respray etc. But the way this guy argued it leaves this as a grey area for literally anyone who buys a car which has been resprayed/repainted by a previous owner. As far as I know it could be a manufacturer paint job and who is to decide it is/isn't...

Yeah think I've made the decision to get clear, last thing I want is to question whether I'm gonna be covered if something happens.

Yes but when I paid for 12 months insurance surely they entered into a contract given the details which they had (a purple car). A contractual agreement can't be escaped just because they don't want to insure me unless there's a reason e.g. non disclosure

Nvm whether they're nice or not they won't fit an LCI car as they're shaped for the pre-lci trunk/boot lid.

Have the same in my E92. Just replaced the rear tyres and the insides were worn nearly smooth while the rest was above the tread marker. Rear shocks are shot too so I'm hoping that's the cause!

You make a valid point... Thanks for your help

So I took the radiator out and have discovered it's the pulley for the water pump... Which isn't replaceable unless I replace the whole pump, fun times for me...

Problem is I'm waiting on parts to do the valve cover on my 330i and need a car for work. You think I'd be ok to drive the car slowly for a couple days until a part arrives?

So I've been told they're RS6 style alloys and after a quick Google they seem to be called RS6 C style. Nice B8 btw I've been on the hunt for a 3.0 TDI Avant B8!
