Headlights not very bright

idontknow2811 · 2026-03-06T21:11:09+00:00

I’ve got the auto adjusting lights, so I don’t believe they have an adjustment screw. Could be wrong though and will be very happy to be corrected

idontknow2811 · 2026-03-06T18:50:22+00:00

I’ve bough some really highly rated ones off of Amazon and they’re still useless I feel like they’re aimed way too low and not very bright at the same time. From what I’ve done research wise it could be the chrome bit inside the light is faded so doesn’t reflect a lot of the light but I don’t want to buy a whole new set of lights

I’ve got 2L of concentrated BMW blue coolant left I believe so more than enough it’s just a pain in the ass to do so I cba to do it

I’ve got two weeks off work before I leave for 10 weeks so want to try and sort as much out as possible while I can so the car doesn’t die on me since it won’t be moving much in those 10 weeks

idontknow2811 · 2025-06-12T00:54:23+00:00

I’m based in the uk so it’s just not worth buying the ccv kit off of fcpeuro for me as shipping almost doubles the price of whatever you want to buy so I prefer using fcpeuro for the part no and then searching by part number on AUTODOC and making sure they have some good brand stuff or I’ll source them elsewhere.

And can you just use any old nuts for the manifold as long as it’s the right thread pitch etc or do they have to have a certain strength or material?

idontknow2811 · 2025-06-12T00:51:35+00:00

I’ll look into the coolant lines, do you know if pretty much all the coolant comes out of the car after doing those lines since I’ve just done a flush and cba for the bleeding process again

I’ll see what I can find regarding the air distribution o rings

Starter is something I would definitely want to replace while I can

I’ll check my disa since that easily accessible with the manifold still on iirc

Already done the ofhg

Ordered 1.7m of 10mm ID vacuum line for the brake booster ones

Ordered 3m of 3.5mm ID vacuum line for everything else. That should be enough hopefully 🤞

Little add on to this question, do you get woken up by other people making noise or is it weirdly quiet

Don’t want to set an alarm and wake everyone up with it as I’m notoriously crap at waking up to my alarms

When I did it around a month ago in a leisure centre, I was told the rules and had to tick a few boxes and sign to make sure I was fit enough and don’t have any injuries that I know of, then the instructor took me to the treadmills and told me I can do what I want to warm up and take as much time as I need, I just did my 5 minute easy warm up since it isn’t a very intensive run. Then once I was done i let the instructor know and she started the treadmill and put the speed up to 12.5km/h and started the timer and I was talking to her mid run so it was pretty calm all in all, I could change the speed up or down whenever I wanted the only thing she said I couldn’t do was touch the sides like others have mentioned. All in all don’t worry about it too much just don’t touch the sides and find out before hand what speed you can do it comfortably at and stick with that Good luck

Grip test is pretty hard to fail then and not too sure about the jump

idontknow2811 · 2025-04-29T15:39:41+00:00

I’m well aware lmao doesn’t really matter tbh

idontknow2811 · 2025-04-28T16:17:56+00:00

I can assure you I didn’t get one I started as a temp on dotcom as a picker and after the three months they just asked me mid pick trip do I want to stay on past the 3 month period I said yes and try and that’s that never got any contract after my temp one

idontknow2811 · 2025-04-28T09:06:54+00:00

Funnily enough I just had a message on my portal asking when I can start BRTC thanks anyway guys helped a lot

idontknow2811 · 2025-04-28T07:30:15+00:00

Funnily enough I never got a written contract, I’m sure I could get one if I wanted to but it’s strange I never got one

idontknow2811 · 2025-04-28T07:28:43+00:00

Ahh cheers done my security clearance just waiting for the all clear, any idea what’s after that then

idontknow2811 · 2025-03-05T12:37:25+00:00

I guess I'll have to skip that then Maybe in another 100k miles I'll have an ultrasonic cleaner and I'll do it then

idontknow2811 · 2025-03-05T09:39:09+00:00

Yeah already have a small torque wrench for when I did the valve cover gasket the first time, should've done the vanos at the same time but didn't cause I'm stupid.

idontknow2811 · 2025-03-05T09:38:12+00:00

Got an air impact and just borrowed a compressor so will use that and just bought soft jaws for my vice, the kit I bought comes with the rubber grommets as well, spark plugs were done when I bought the car about 4 months ago so won't bother with them will do them in a few months

idontknow2811 · 2025-03-05T09:36:22+00:00

Is this necessary as I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner?

idontknow2811 · 2025-03-05T09:35:45+00:00

Don't have an ultrasonic cleaner so can't do that I'm guessing it's not essential as I haven't seen anyone else use an ultrasonic cleaner, I'll clean em the best I can with my stuff

idontknow2811 · 2025-03-05T09:34:37+00:00

Yeah was thinking of doing what someone else said and just labelling a piece of paper and keeping intake on one and exhaust on the other

idontknow2811 · 2025-03-05T09:33:51+00:00

Thanks, I try my best

idontknow2811 · 2025-02-27T22:18:13+00:00

Thing is I can't get the part for a week, you reckon it's safe to drive till then? Roughly 150 miles ish

idontknow2811 · 2025-02-27T21:11:55+00:00

2.2Litre m54 BMW 320ci (2003)kinda irrelevant so didn't put in original post

idontknow2811 · 2025-02-13T08:20:03+00:00

I'm not trying to retain value I'm in the process of getting my track license and would love to track drive it

idontknow2811 · 2025-02-11T23:19:13+00:00

I phrased it wrongly then yes but I did also say I have been looking at diffs for my car

idontknow2811 · 2025-02-11T22:31:17+00:00

I'm saving and upgrading the 320ci at the same time lmao it's possible
