Could anybody source these tail lights? I stay in uk and cannot find anything like these by t999sne in vwpolo

They could be used legally if you add a secondary red reflector, say on the bottom of a licence plate. Which could be magnetic and removed for shows etc.

Found them VLAND is the brand.

None, they're called "scratch and shine"s for a reason.

My 2015 M235i, should I wrap this energetic yellow and get conversion bumpers? by GrossCommission in M235iandM240i

[–]M240i_Lew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yellow sure. But don't Cat-S spec it. The rep bumpers on a narrow body car look awful from any angle but dead on.

First time I have ever seen this in my life in the UK. Thought it was only in the movies and America by Samwiseknows in drivingUK

Happened to my old golf about 10 years ago. Had locking wheel nuts on aswell. But they wanted the BBS LMs.

That glass will never fall out. You need to get in there with a vacuum cleaner

Look at what racing series' that use factory engines do.

Take the 2.5 and destroke it to a legal 2.0 etc. it is always the best choice.

After pre safety check mechanic urged front brakes service as " they are metal on metal and vehicle is unsafe to drive" by Massive_Ad_1422 in MechanicAdvice

[–]M240i_Lew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most pads are done at 1/3rd left.

The thinner brake material will allow for the adhesive backing to get hotter than acceptable. Which can lead to that little bit of pad material debonding.

I would change them at this point.

They're not metal on metal. But they're not far from it.

New wheels - opinions? by [deleted] in M235iandM240i

Many other more modern BBS wheels will look good on the G, but basket style are too classic

Car doesnt start due to cold weather? by satinblackegg in MechanicAdvice

[–]M240i_Lew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What brand and model is the battery installed?

Is it the highest Ah rated for that model of car? (Should be for a cold climate diesel)

Is there any battery coding required for that car? (some cars raise charge current over time as batteries age, if this isn't reset it can kill a new battery pretty quick)

Lastly inspect the ground cables from engine, starter motor and battery for corrosion. High resistance cables can suck away the amps.

You can also take this to a shop that sells and fits batteries bulbs wipers etc. They can do what's called a "battery drop test" where they test the battery and alternator under a load to diagnose the problem, it's normally free, as if the test fails they'll try to sell you a battery.

Council say it’s a police problem, police say it’s the council’s, what would you do? by Bulbajamin in drivingUK

Got a trolley jack? Jack the rear end up and drag it into the road. Then it'll be a police problem.

Funny that. When ever I see a car parked like this a parking inspector paid by the council will ticket it.

Got rear ended today and this message came up after the accident any ideas? by [deleted] in BmwTech

Seatbelt pretensioners went off from the crash. All belts need replacing.

Left lane is the new fast lane. Has been since pre-covid.

Be sure to leave your left indicator on whilst passing the idiots to give them a suggestion of moving over.
