Re: Express by Hastings

Using a broker, we have consolidated all of our auto policies with our home, barn, and stable policies for the past five years. My time and the ability to deal with a human being are more important to me than saving a few pounds, even though I could save some by searching the web.

Re: Are USB Type-C ports retrofittable? Group 21

The response is appreciated. Will the wiring loom enable them to be "plug & play" with no adjustments required other than the panel? You mentioned riding on a cigarette socket, but I'm asking whether that's really the case. I suppose I could pry the panel off to examine it, but I'd rat...

Are USB Type-C ports retrofittable? Group 21

Hi there! The back of my G21 does not feature any USB-C ports. There are components on eBay that include the sockets, and I was wondering if this is one of those cases where the wiring is already there (i.e., behind the panel), but isn't connected. If the right part is installed, it might be joined ...

Re: G395 Air Conditioning Pressure/Temperature Sensor (00256)

At some point, every car owner will have to deal with the million-dollar (or, more accurately, the seventy-pound) question. Oh, how delightful it is to enter the realm of car parts pricing, where the label may hold more value than the actual part. What you're seeing as a pricing discrepancy is reall...

Re: G395 Air Conditioning Pressure/Temperature Sensor (00256)

I appreciate the tagging. There's a classic case of "is the messenger broken, or is the message true?" at work here. A refrigerant pressure reading from the G395 sensor falls below the minimum threshold needed to properly operate the air conditioner compressor, causing the climate control ...

Re: Window Covers for Your Kia Year

I also scheduled my car for late March, following the Christmas and New Year's holiday. Since it is on a bus route, I won't require a courtesy car; however, I am certain that my boss will insist that I visit a local garden center to peruse the seed catalogue and other plant-related items.

Re: Window Covers for Your Kia Year

The situation is unclear. Very perplexingly, the service book only specifies "12 months intervals from date of registration," even though the remainder of the book refers to 24-month terms. No wiggle room is indicated. The EMAC service plan doesn't provide a date, however it does say: &quo...

Re: Which tires for the 530D XDrive?

My PS5 appears to be exceptionally durable; I have used it for 17 months, and the tread still appears relatively new, having covered approximately 8,000 miles. I am examining the rear tires, as the front tires outlast the rears by a ratio of 3:1 on my BMW M4 F82.

Re: E60 530D (218 BHP) Diesel Cleaner/Fuel Additive

I believe any occupation involving diesel is unclean.
It permeates your skin.
I still refuse to relinquish my diesel vehicles, haha.
