As a new member, first of all warm greetings to everyone. I come from the Oberbergischen. If it is time and my own fortune allow, I screw my Jeep myself. My age (over 450,000 km) runs like a clockwork, but the tooth of time just gnaws at the wear parts. I gave my thick new brake discs and rear new wheel bearings. Came such a uniform grinding noise from the rear axle (the faster the louder). Only the grinding noise was not gone! It took only seconds to locate the source of noise – the differential. Which bearings in the differential are probably affected? Are there still free workshops that dare to do so? This goes beyond my screwdriver capabilities. Extension should still be possible, but installation with housing should not spread and set up bearings certainly. I am grateful for every good tip.

Hello everyone! Have a question.. think you know best about it. Drive at the moment an A-Class… am also very satisfied with it… Would you like to drive a car, which has to shop the place of a transporter, but also comes through the terrain,.. e.g. to pick up some wood in the forest or sometimes in the gravel pit… I don’t care about the brand relatively.. The car should also be priced to some measure in the frame and also something new… It’s not in a hurry. all directly at .. but wanted to narrow down some vehicles and always ask me a little bit and make me smart… Oh, well, let’s just mention that this should also be used to transport furniture.. Have only the driving license B & BE. Thank you very much for your help!!! LG Chris

today I hear in the advertisement that there is the Tiguan as a front-wheeler, I understand that correctly. If that is so, does VW really want to make it understand that this is really just a small boulevard-trecker? Well thennnnnn …… Nordjoe

Hello, has someone experienced with a Range Rover Supercharged BJ 2005 ? I plan to get one of these and then have it converted to auto gas. Have now come to know that there should be terrain tyres for 19″ rims (which the RRS is allowed to drive). What kind of navigation is installed in the RRS (manufacturer, type) ? Is there still the possibility to connect audoi/video with? Upgrade possibilities, possibly winch? What is to be paid attention to with such a used one when buying ? Thank you and greeting, Stefan

A good evening. A woman comes to visit you and has a few questions and I hope to find some answers here. Me and my husband (both inexperienced as far as vehicles are concerned) are currently driving an Audi A4, Kombi, year 98. We need a new car, it should possibly be a off-road car. Something to our wish: We have 2 small children, it should offer a lot of space in the back, as well as in the trunk. I drive a lot, in the day approx. 100km, normal road. My husband needs the vehicle from d on for the forest grounds and construction sites, which are sometimes muddy. We live in the countryside, also in the area where it is very snowy in winter, where I sometimes have/had problems with the Audi to get out of certain situations without help.The vehicle should offer driving composure, as well as be reliable in certain situations. We have already looked at some vehicles, the decision to make is not so easy. Here the vehicles in with us are in question e could come, I offer experiences with these possibly, which suits us best: Hyundai Santa Fee, Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 Limited, Jeep cherokee, BMW X3, X5, Toyota Land Cruiser…. the cars should be from year 2005 on, price up to approx.28,000 euros. We want to have some years of fun on this vehicle. Thanks in advance for comments, advice and tips. LG Tanja

Hi guys, I drove a Subaru Forester 2.0GX until March of this year. Unfortunately, this one had blessed the time with capital damage due to an unclear reason at 135tkm. Due to tight budgets I decided against another off-road vehicle/SUV in a row and drive now Volvo V40 2.0T. Is a great car, runs like the sow… Unfortunately, I miss the driving feeling that an off-road vehicle conveys really enormous. I also live in quite rural areas. Blessing, which in winter has some really bad road conditions ready. To make it short: I carry myself with the thought to separate myself from the Volvo again and to acquire another off-road car. Budget: scarce. Maximum 500€. I realize that I have to make some compromises in this price segment. The vehicle does not have to break speed records or be extremely comfortable. Important to me – space. I have a lot to transport and need traffic jams more often. raum – Durability. Actually the most important thing. Of course, you’re never in the price segment, but basically I’m a friend of simple and durable technology. – Air conditioning. Is actually the only comfort claim I place. Therefore my question to you: Are there any specific model recommendations that are in this price range and meet my criteria? A corresponding Mobile.de search showed essentially US vehicles….Cherokee, Explorer etc…ge Also Opel Frontera or Hyundai Galloper (I don’t know how long it is with this one). Thank you in advance!

Hello, because with us is the most intense deep snow in winter, now and then you have to be able to drive over stock and stone, my question about your opinions. Which vehicle with maximum trailer load for trailer operation would be a perfect vehicle for deep snow. So far, Ford Ranger, Touareg I and ML has always been “sacked”, stuck up, stuck. I know that it is also important for tyres and so on, but what do you think is the most ideal vehicle. Budget: open end, but in a reasonable Ra hmen 😉 under 100k 😉 hg david

Guys, is one of you driving the new BFG MUD TERRAIN KM2? I found nothing about the sufu here. What I want to know is how he behaves towards the “old” in the mud and wet road. I found a few tests on the net and in one he was run as a summer tire, so I let it stay the same. I drive an HDJ80 and he needs new shoes now, and since I was satisfied with the old one I wanted to stay at BFG. Thanks already in advance for your experience. Greetings x Mike

Hi together, interest me a little bit for the big Ami pick-ups. Especially the Dodge RAM 3500 dual with the 5,9l cummins and 6-speed did it to me. But also the Ford F350 dual with 7,3 V8 or with 6,6 duramax has what. Everything as diesel minded !! Now my question to you: What should I consider when buying such a car ?? Have no experiences in this sector and would be happy about qualified attributions. What about the quality, with how much KM is worth The purchase of such a car ??? prefers to buy in BRD or import it yourself ?? theme consumption, are 15l realistic ??? What about insurance and tax ?? Are there alternatives to these cars ?? which can also be obtained with diesel and hand-operated ?? So for the first time these are probably enough questions, I am happy about every attribution. Greeting @ all Scan

Hello! I don’t need a real offroader, but I hope to have some experience with four-wheeled vehicles here and therefore just ask here. And I am looking for a second car that should stay registered next to the Coupé all year round for my 93 Mercedes Coupé (have no parking space). After my father is on forest roads from time to time and the car should be used mainly in winter I thought of an all-wheeler with which you can also sometimes with hangers can drive over unpaved forest paths. Of course, the whole thing should be as cheap as possible, both in purchase and in maintenance, can also be quiet something older, only robust and reliable the box must be. Small repairs are in, but welding can not be – good rust protection should be so. As a budget I had thought of 1500 EUR – is there anything to find? I have already looked around and stumbled over the same vehicles: Subaru Justy: Zuschalba rer 4WD, but rather small and perhaps not ideal for forest paths with hangers… Suzuki SJ: rust problems, good vehicles are expensive. Opel Frontera: Actually oversized, are messes in bad condition in this price category Jeep Cherokee: giant box, spare parts supply? Actually, I thought about Golf Syncro first – but there’s nothing there! After my Mercedes is already not a wasteful, the fuel consumption would not be so important to me, especially repairs, taxes and insurance Is there anything or do I still have to drive my Benz in the winter and my father shove his front scratcher-bora through the forest…
