MAF - Dunno if BMW do exchange (VW do) but it's about £80 exchange for an OE one (bosch in my case). You can get it on the cheap (like a chinese or aftermarket one) but they WILL break again very quickly or may not even be right to begin with. So buy genuine.
As for the acceleration well that's probably the MAF as well but depends. My diesel never goes above 2200rpm on a light throttle until it's warmed up, no quicker way to rape your turbo than to thrash it when cold (and the rest of the engine). Some engines also limit power and boost on a cold engine (but they do a poor job of it you still achieve 90% of the performance anyway) so change the MAF see what happens.
The lack of boost could be due to the boost regulator, on my car that's known as the n75 valve. Dunno if BMW have named it something different, "ze heinz mezzchersmit auto boosten switchen yaren" or something probably.
Air bag will likely because the ignitor in one or more of the airbags has failed, or you could be lucky and it could be a broken cable.
Replace the water temp sensor and the oil pressure/level switch and see what happens. If the oil light is a pressure switch then it could be that at times you do have low or high engine oil pressure...who knows, a diag scan will tell you.
to be fair you should have spotted and felt the collapsed suspension from a mile away. *facepalm*
2 inches is a BIG height difference (as in how my car was before I lowered it and how it was now).. even if it wasn't that much it should have still be noticable..If one spring has broken then there's a good chance the others will follow soon, normally broken springs are caused by morons who drive over speedbumps at a million miles an hour..thank the previous owner probably...likely the dampers will be past their best as well after years of abuse.
Depending on what you want it may be worth replacing the whole lot with a set of cheapy coilovers, such as FK or JOM...budgets yup they are. But the JOM ones aren't too bad, FKs I hear less good things about. I have bought some JOMs for my car, 2 year warranty you can't go wrong. That will give you a nice adjustable drop and renew your suspension. Normally a full set of coilovers by JOM or FK or another budget manufacturer are no more expensive than a set of OE quality springs..so that's a no brainer to be honest.
While you're at it you'd be best off changing the top mounts and bushes (with either BMW oem or powerflex bushes) at the same time.
Yes i appreciate cost may get a bit high replacing the bushes etc but it's a job worth doing in the long run..suspension is important.
Also for the cost of a crappy night out you can replace the air filter, oil filter and oil at the same time. May have been done recently before but better to give it a clean bill of health.
Although to be fair if you search for "British people" you get "British people teeth"
Niko pick something cool, probably off an Audi. Paint them a deep metallic anthracite. Then buy some wheels from a Passat and spray them orange. Max scene points bro. Don't forget the air ride and obligitory stickers.
It's not about standards. The girls in those pics are what you call "normal". Likely your girl and her friends are those kind of women who insist on being a tiny bunch of bones which personally I find unattractive. But hey that's their choice.
My ideal sized woman is probably a size (and age) 10 or a 12 but since everything in life is a compromise..
As for fat americans, yes pretty much they are. As for bad teeth, well yeah 15 years ago. Now all children on the NHS get free dental work. I had it. now it's like george clooney in the house.
yeah don't boil my travel bunny the silicone would melt.
And what sig do you mean? Don't know what you're talking about mate.
Yeah. Most of them are lesbians... which is fine but for a guy there's nothing to get. Those that aren't lesbians probably look like Klutch and do Klutchy things like get high on mushrooms while listening to John Lenon songs.
Either way not really interested in girls like that, so yeah - it's like a gaybar.
Coming from an American I find it quite funny you are brave enough to call anyone fat. None of those girls are fat
Ronal turbos the most original wheels on the VW scene.... OH WAIT.
As for the paint, some cutting compound and a DA or machine polisher (which aren't that hard to use actually, you have to be a COMPLETE moron to go through paint with that) will have that looking awesome again.
To be fair Nathan as long as the guy who owns it thinks it looks cool then that's his choice. I don't think you'd be happy if people mocked you for having a Lexus or remember that Max-Power Escort you had?
I've not. I just download the odd movie. When uploading to Youtube which is what the OP enquired about, Youtube limit the quality anyway. Difference on a computer monitor would be neglible.
And I'm neither arguing your point or saying you were wrong. I'm just saying it's a bit weird how you got a perma ban and yet you're still here where as others who were in the same situation got repeated bans. :|
Ah well demo noob for you.
