  • Switch off Opel Zafria Life Parental Control & Stop and Start

    Hello dear community, I have 2 questions. On the subject of child safety of the doors. You have the button at the front, which can press, but the back are not deactivated at the same time. Despite the fact that I have the child safety inside, I can press the back and the doors are closed. My child 3 years old always presses, of course, that goes well until the hand is in between. My side doors are automatic. How can I deactivate the function or button (see picture) at the back ? I also like to take out the backup if there is no other option. Question number 2. The stop and start function. How can I disable it? I drive automatic and it always goes out too fast. In the board computer I can switch it off and save it, but as soon as car is off and restarts is deleted again. See picture 2 There must be the possibility that it is stored for a long time? Many love thanks

  • What’s with the interior fan?

    Hello to the round, has you ever had a problem with the interior fan? My (OZL 2020 177PS Diesel) has been quite noisy for a few days. I’ve already found out that the fan is sitting on the passenger side behind the glove compartment. It can be seen through the ventilation grid below the windscreen. Does anyone know how to get there as easily as possible? Maybe a leaf has caught in it? Greetings…

  • Center console DIY

    For the first time since 15 years I have been driving vans, to build a center console for a leasing equipment. The main reasons are, I have attached the video times. The sliding lid is now equipped with an LED light with motion detector, so that you can see something in the deep hole. The USB light is charged via a connector, which I have built on the side of the lid (not to be seen on the video, since on the passenger side). In the room under the sc The lids are covered with car leather, the rest with artificial leather. In fact, the part is fixed only with Velcro on the ground, which holds amazingly good. Probably also because it is made of solid wood and is not so easy. The whole project ran under the motto “just do it”, which led to some improvisations and a lot of experimentation. The cup holders from VW Golf 4 accessories are a bit unstable, but still fulfill their job. The bottle drawer is a bit cumbersome, but is usually also used open-standing, so that’s no problem. In the end I am completely satisfied and can only recommend this to anyone who has a little desire for handicrafts.

  • Bastlermotorad – just which one?

    Dear biker community, I wanted to buy my father a hobbyist motorad. My father was a passionate motorcycle/PKW hobbyist and driver of a BMW machine in his youth. Now he retired and : well… I thought I’d give him a motorcycle! Unfortunately I don’t know which maschine is suitable for this or what you have to pay special attention to. Since my father is a little older I would naturally like to take back an older model. for me the question about the availability of spare parts. Furthermore it should also be affordable. I would be glad if someone as a hobbyist expert is at my side!

  • My first motorcycle

    Heyho people, I’m new here and I’m going to buy my first motorcycle soon because I’m going to make A2. Now I’m just trying to figure out which one is the best for my requirements. My budget 1000€ I’m looking for a machine that is – economical – with which you can also ride longer tours, e.g. Germany – Italy etc. – because of A2 has no more than 48 HP – top speed is absolutely unimportant to me… but acceleration is very important – a motorcycle that is cheap to maintain and as “unkaputtbar” as possible After a lot of requests I came to the following possibilities – Honda CB 400 N – Honda NX 250 – Suzuki GSX 400 E – Suzuki GS 500 E possibly also a Kawasaki KLR 650 consumes however I have heard this 6 liters and that is clearly too much for me. Maybe someone still has an insider tip or a recommendation what to do is hope for good suggestions Greetings

  • suitable bikes for Mad Max conversion wanted

My requirements would be: – model completely irrelevant, it is important to me that the conversion on your naked/mad max bike without heaven and hell is possible (e.g. rewelding frames etc.) and offers itself. (can convert much from my circle of friends itself with the corresponding help, however the less effort the better). – as cheap as possible max 1500€ (without remodeling) – min 50 HP The lower Pictures can be taken in which direction it should go (however I can also imagine a cross machine (Duke 2…) well) thank you for your suggestions mfg Kai

  • Shoei visor – running, light or strongly tinted ?

    I bought a Shoei Qwest helmet a few weeks ago and now I am looking for a visor. Since I had a mirrored visor with my previous cheap helmet and was highly satisfied with it in every situation, I also bought one for the Shoei. In addition to the fact that a Shoei CW 1 visor in mirrored costs at least 80-100€, which is already a mess & pure rip off, I finally had to find out that it is not at all usable. Because the Visi The sun shines when you go against the sun and your face is then very clearly reflected in the sight. Now the question is whether I should buy a light, strong or running tinted visor? Basically I only drive during the day, but am not sure if the strongly tinted is not too dark, if you drive for example in the afternoon through the forest or for tunnels. With the slightly tinted visor there is the worry that the tint z u is weak so that one is blinded and with a running tinted I have no experience at all. So I need your advice and experience to find the right visor. Greeting,

  • Driving licence Intensive course

    Hello dear biker community, I plan now to finally make my motorcycle ticket. For reasons of time (professional) I will probably take an intensive course and there would be my question, with which costs I have to reckon with during an intensive course in about? In addition, the course would interest me. To me, I am 20 years old and drive for 2 years, so will first drive 2 years. I used to drive Motocross (80 Kawa) and have already done a little bit I know about the technology. (of course not comparable to the big machines) As a motorcycle I have chosen a Yamaha R6. Look forward to your answers. With friendly greetings and always good ride! Steffen
