Re: Looking at these brakes, what are your thoughts on them?

Rotors that are clearly worn; the lip or depression around their edges is visible. The next problem is the abundance of trees. Rotors and pads need replacing. Right now, there are a lot of expensive, well-known brands on the market, and the rears are tiny and even cheaper. Wishing you the best of lu...

Re: Is it smart to part with my Polestar 2?

Has a Polestar dealership checked it out? May have more to do with prior TSBs than the accident itself. There have been problems with the software and hardware, as this advertisement mentions. Uncertain of the exact nature of the problem, Mates' 22-plate Polestar 2 had some knickknacks repaired unde...

Re: Integrated flip-out towbar with no remote in the trunk

Actually, it's plug and play. Just wondering if any coding would be necessary? I will be sure to follow up. Many thanks

Re: Integrated flip-out towbar with no remote in the trunk

Completely arranged. It appears like the panel had split off the button cover, and the switch was hidden behind it. I only need to find out how to wedge the switch into the button slot, and everything will be working.

Integrated flip-out towbar with no remote in the trunk

About two years ago, we purchased our 2016 F10. A few weeks ago, we discovered that our vehicle had a towbar. The previous owner, of whom we are the third, was unaware of its presence. The boot does not have an activation switch, although it does have a slot for one. The original wiring was likely r...

Re: My drive does not have towing mode.

As far as I can remember, it should be visible the moment you switch drive modes, however it will remain greyed out until you attach a trailer. Towing a caravan without it could be risky because the car's sensors will respond to its presence. Plugging in the electrics allows me to back my caravan a ...

Re: My drive does not have towing mode.

To disable features like the reverse sensors while towing, among other things, the wire harness must be compatible with the Mazda ECU; however, an OEM towbar is not required. Return to the installer and request that they inspect the wiring.

Re: Online vs. USB Updates

Recently, I switched from sluggish broadband to considerably faster full-fibre, and the download time for the most recent update was far faster than all of the others I've done since 2016. Rather of spending three hours on it, the data was transferred to the USB device in about forty minutes. It jus...
