I quite like that color tbf.

I would be looking at this. https://www.engine-dynamics.com/Electrical--Engine-Sensors/pid105223/cid96/Timing-Crank-Angle-Sensor-with-plug-Modification.asp The easiest way to test is is start the car and wiggle the wires around. If it cuts out or the engine note changes then it's that.

Who knows, but if the owner can get their car back then that's a result.

Just had a call back, they said they were made aware this morning and they are investigating.

Had a spare mycarcheck. Said it was reported 2 days ago to Warwickshire police. It's at house number 11, not sure on the street somewhere in Stroud.... Maybe @Arnie can shed some more light on this.

Did a quick car check and it's said it was stolen two days ago! Will let the police know...

This car is a good 8/9k cheaper then what it should be, must of been in an accident or something. Advert doesn't mention anything. Could be a bargain for someone...

Drop me a text and ill try and help you.

Haha OK, might be work checking it out and making sure it's running 100% as the Ring may end up being the same.

What's your home WIFI like, alot of the guys here seem to be moving to MESH style networks and seems to work really well.

Does it have an option to be hard wired rather than WIFI?

LCI front looks even better ;)

As much as i like the 335D and turbo tuning in general, i don't wanna take the risk and just go NA lol.

Everytime @Sir_Dave updates a thread on his vast BMW fleet, my wallet starts twitching. Back on eBay i go...

Interesting! So N53 power N52 reliability, but probably poor MPG of the N52 lol. EDIT: How can you reliably tell if it's the K variant or not?

I think this engine would only be in the 3.0 form rather than 2.5 but I'm happy to be corrected.

Never heard of that engine! Have you got any more info? Years it was in use etc?

Sealed for life gearboxes are bullshit, I would defo add it into normal servicing maintenance.

I went on the Saturday and had a good day, bloody long one tho! I was very surprised alot how agile the A400M was.

Yer I was giving everything I could a bit of a pry and yer there is a little movement in the lower wishbone bush at the rear mounting. Also dont believe pads are sticking as the temps seem the same on both sides after a drive. Just seems rotational rather than suspension.

Yup, droplinks are new rest seems original. I dont think its suspension related tbh.

So just had the car up on stands with the wheel on I grabbed the wheel 9 and 3 couldn't feel play, 12 and 6 seemed fine. When rotate the wheel you can hear just the pad against the disk once a rotation kinda thing. Wheel off shock and spring are fine. Doesn't look like there is anything...

Ruling out clutch/dmf issues and sticky calipers. Just went for a drive and temps seem the same on both sides and as the vibration isn't rpm dependant it shouldn't be clutch related. When you get to 50 you can start hearing the almost stone in the tyre noise then get to 70 and vibrations start...

I would hate it if the calipers are not working correctly as that would take the car out of action whilst they would be rebuilt etc. The discs are dimpled and grooved so its a possibility. Need to take the car apart on the weekend and just inspect it all, hopefully it's something cheap and simple.

No can do as i need the spacers to clear the brakes in the first place lol.

Im lucky to have one of these with working aircon! Very handy last couple of days.

Yer i will give it a try, i have noticed that i do have a rotational noise, almost like a stone in the tyre kind of thing. I think for discs it would be mainly felt through braking rather than just cruising at speed. Maybe the wheels are no good. When the balancing was done they said the worst...

Not related to a Clio, but my Civic has bad vibrations at motorway speeds. It's not just the steering wheel, you can feel it through the whole car. I had a brake upgrade fitted around 2 weeks ago, but before then i had a slight vibration starting to doubt myself tho. The brake upgrade included...

The engine service intervals are long, but I dont really think it comes down to that. It's just a fundamental design flaw with the tensioner.

Give it time. Not a case of if, it's a case of when.
