Re: Got my space saver at last!

Incredibly grateful.
Given the price of two new tyres (£440) and a space saver and jack (£257), I was hoping to obtain one for a few pounds less.
I could find a pre-owned Freelander that matches your description (LR095552).

Got my space saver at last!

It was finally too much, so I bought a 19" space saver.
This followed a pothole impact that damaged one tyre after using both rear wheels.
The good news is that the rims and tires are unharmed. Just got two new tires 😓

But I have to get a space-saving retaining bolt through the mail.
Is anyone able ...

Re: Squeaking at low speed while fully locked into the right side?

Ignore this. I just read that it's a 2018 model, and the noise maker was installed recently. It makes an unusual sound that can be heard occasionally, but it shouldn't be audible when driving under 15 mph, even with the windows open.

Puncture a tiny hole in the lamp's back to allow air to circulate and reach room temperature.

Re: Has anybody ridden a brand new RZ350, 500, or 550e?

Thank you very much. I agree, I think the modifications will be exactly what you said they would be: addressing the issues with charging speed and range.

The 300es are selling at tempting rates on Autotrader, but I know their prices will drop drastically once the 350s hit the used market, thanks ...

Re: Has anybody ridden a brand new RZ350, 500, or 550e?

Despite the current faulty build-your-car feature, Lexus has managed to get the 350 and 500 models up on its website. It seems they might be arriving shortly to do the test itself. As a current owner of a RZ, I am very interested in hearing your comments if you ever get behind the wheel.

Re: The 2011 Audi 2.0 TDI Quattro

To attach a jump starter or charger, use the plus (+) and negative (-) connectors located in the engine compartment.
In the boot, you shouldn't connect these straight to the battery.

Re: The 2011 Audi 2.0 TDI Quattro

There is a positive (+) and a negative (-) point under the hood where you can plug in a charger or utilise for a jumpstart.
Your current issue may have originated from changing the batteries without a charger, but I can't say for sure.
remember to look for errors in the oecus.

Re: The 2011 Audi 2.0 TDI Quattro

Then you should be sure to check the oecus for any mistakes.
VCDS from Ross-Tech can accomplish this.


Did you plug in a charger when you swapped out the battery?
