    The study of a radiator

    Your son had no problems, I have no problems, that leaves you as the odd one out. My 3L runs fine with a radiator that is 40-50% lighter/thinner. It also ran fine with 40-50% of the coolant missing. Your overheating is most likely to do with your messing up. Through carelessness, you probably...

    The study of a radiator

    That tells me you have something else that isn't working. My car ran fine with 4 litres of coolant leaked out on the road after collision. Although it was cold weather at the time. I don't need better cooling. I need thicker materials to play bumper cars. Nissens would work out better for me...

    Well, it will be forgotten.

    The study of a radiator

    Mahle-Behr is all over ebay. For the E46, there is the cheaper standard one and a premium-line one. I am guessing the materials are thicker on the premium and more able to resist bumps. Since it isn't OEM, a Nissen one might be no worse. Nissen has a single model, presumably matching the...

    The study of a radiator

    Surprisingly, Modine is an american company. This would suggest chinese branded radiators would be closer to OEM than german Mahle-Behr. Generally, the chinese stuff are largely american tech.

    I don't. But I know they don't pay you if they don't want to.

    The study of a radiator

    A lighter part increases vehicle performance, though. Also it isn't up to you to decide what is and isn't a mod. The insurer will.

    DNJ never claimed to be expert, was just reading T&C.

    Since when was a notification required for a pattern part? I don't remember any internet experts mentioning it.

    The study of a radiator

    Anyone seen how a radiator is structured? Not me. My OE unit was taken out by a crash-for-casher. It leaked between one of the radiator's plastic tanks and the aluminum part. The radiator is quite simple. It comprises of horizontal channels, and then a tank at either end. The tank is clamped...

    Fuel filler neck legit?

    Equally possible there are no poor people around who need to steal. People just politely walk up and ask if selling.

    Fuel filler neck legit?

    No need to learn something that doesn't happen where I am. Even if it I happens, I don't see the point of worrying over a £500 write off. The road tax will be more than that soon.

    Fuel filler neck legit?

    I made no such claim. I know next to nothing about electronics and don't really want to know because I simply have no more space in my head for them. But I do know about device functions, i.e. what stuff are capable of or could be made capable of. Hence, I am able to tell you: if car...

    Where did I profess to know so much. Anything I say, I know. I said nothing about canbus. Therefore I know nothing about it.

    Fuel filler neck legit?

    Have you brought one to know it's not a scam? Also, was it payment by cash? Otherwise, how would the seller get away with it?

    Fuel filler neck legit?

    I will believe it when I see it. I have never had a car stolen nor know anyone who had one stolen. So, the possibility is not something I think about. There are cameras all over London. This could be the reason why theft might be rare.

    Not pretending. My car has K-line. I don't even know what k-line is, much less what canbus is. I don't watch TV, and youtube has never recommended k-line nor canbus. So, I am in the dark.

    Fuel filler neck legit?

    I don't know. I don't have one, or will have one. Tell us, what are the stats? Which is the most stolen? I had my car for a long time and it was not stolen, get an E46 then if you are worrying about theft. It seems desirable for stealing since I keep getting strangers asking if selling.

    The video is about 2026 cars. So, you could be out of date by 20 years. As a rule, no network connected security systems can be broken into because the master key is physically stored on the manufacturer's property. To compromise that, you have to physically break into that. Modern car-tool...

    Fuel filler neck legit?

    They cannot. I have an app for the 14 year olds. They have been unable to break in for 10 years. There is no prospect they ever will. This is actually a problem, because app distribution becomes impossible except at great cost of advertisement. Since when has a crackhead 14 year old been able...
