  • Registration office Doof?

    Moin, I signed off my 318i today and registered my 330Xi E46. Ging told me she typed nicely and now I notice that I’m driving one. E46 Built 1986 xD Especially because the only 98 were built 😛 Kw 65 ????????????? 318i A chassis number that doesn’t match my old or my new xD. What I wanted to register my 330 wasn’t any misch mash from 318 and any fantasies. With the old letter everything fit from 330 but I own n How can I make it clear to the registration office on Monday that they made a mistake?? That they believe me because I just spent 53€ on something that I don’t exist xD Because the old vehicle letter they collected. Do they throw the way or do they have to keep it for a certain time? mfg Simon

  • Questions about Navi and Handling Control Panel

    Hi, and I have some insurance questions and hope you can help me there. I bought a used All-in-One-Navi from Kenwood (DNX7260BT) which has a removable control panel and the possibility of a code (not yet activated).The code can be determined even when activated, but is no longer changeable or deactivable. – Do I have to take the control panel with me? It’s quite big with 7″ In some threads it says that – Is it better to leave the control panel on the radio or in the glove compartment? I have read that if it is in the HSF, it is not insured, since it is not firmly connected and some even advise to leave it on the radio, as otherwise it will not be replaced – What if it is stolen with the control panel? I have read in the search that some insurance companies then doubt whether the stolen device was installed at all. I have ever had a control panel. ngs- and an assembly instruction, a photo of the serial number which is on the device and the invoice of the first owner. Do I have to drive now personally with the insurance, so that they know? The car by the way has an original alarm system. So, these are my first questions and thank you already in advance. gruss TazaTDI

  • Accident causer turns across the board

    I came back and found a note at the windscreen wipers. Stand address and everything on it. But she had not waited an hour (which is prescribed by law) because I was only 3/4 hours away. Anyway, we drove to a friend yesterday, who has a workshop. Now he issued the report. She would have to pay 320€. Now we drove by the lady and there me In the first place she would have to clarify this with her husband. Today the call, we should go to another workshop there it is much cheaper. Now my father drove there, he is not there yet. But I said immediately I don’t want to let anyone else do it, I have no confidence there. I want to be our car’ler, because I know he does it neatly. I have unfortunately already gained other experiences. And if I hear much cheaper, then it looks also cheaply made. It would be far too expensive. And that’s because plastic has broken off and some scratches are on it. How is the right situation? I drove the car but runs over my father. Such a theater because of such a mess, then she would have rather looked up :/

  • Some questions about vehicle change (insurance + registration)

    Hello, my new Skoda Octavia has arrived at my EU car dealer and will be delivered by freight forwarder within the next 2 – 3 weeks. Now I have some questions about the change of vehicle. 1. So far I have a liability insurance. Today I was with my insurer and I have completed a comprehensive insurance for my Octavia within the scope of a change of vehicle. Insurance starts in the application August 1st. But if my car arrives and is registered on August 10th d, does the insurance only start on 10.08., right? 2. In the past I had indicated a collective garage as “regular parking space” (which was also true). Meanwhile my car is on the road. In the new application is still indicated collective garage. I forgot today to inform the insurance that the parking space has changed. Can the insurance with this “false statement” refuse a payment within the scope of the comprehensive payment or do I only have to pay the difference amount? But what I really have is an underground parking space at work. It’s not “nightly parking place” but “regular”. And I’m regularly at work… 3. I want to park my Punto with an acquaintance on the farm / shut down (there are always Africans coming by, who then buy the cars for export). If I unscrew the registration plates and register the car at the traffic office, am I free of any liability? 4. I want my old car at the Ve 5. What do I do afterwards? Tell the insurance company that my old car has been shut down (i.e. end of liability insurance) and my new one has been registered (i.e. start all inclusive)?? I hope that you can help me further. I will certainly also clarify ambiguities with my insurance, but on the spot I always forget half,

  • Alpha motors scooter does not start

    Hey, my first question here. Let’s start the story from the beginning, a couple of months ago I had changed my belt and thus weight the Vario and have so far driven without any problems. Today at a junction at a stop sign I stopped, and when I started driving (full throttle) I managed to speed up over 2 meters but then the engine is off and did not accelerate any more. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice any noises. There is mpression, from the exhaust comes bursts. Ignition does nothing, petrol is there and rear wheel can be turned. Roller is now standing in the city. I have no explanation what it could be because something like that is driving me again for the first time, and could not help me AI also To the scooter: 4 clock Alpha Motors 50cc What could it be? How do I recognize a crack of the belt?

  • what changes to facelift Fiesta?

    …I’m interested in the current Fiesta, but I can’t find any more detailed information about Facelift/Fiesta. So far I’ve found out that the following things have been “changed”: -higher interior materials -new headlights front/back -new radios -more Equipment options But much more interesting to know is what Ford has done about childhood diseases, especially chassis/car body/safety/motor/electrics etc.. Does anyone have more detailed information about this? Will there ever be ESP for the smaller petrol engines?

  • Ford Fiesta 1.1 sometimes doesn’t start

    Hello, I have a Ford Fiesta 1.1. Year of construction 1995. He sometimes doesn’t start. Sometimes he does not start for 4 days then again and sometimes he starts a day and then he doesn’t. If he then jumped in the morning sometimes after 10 times try or push then he starts the whole day without any problems.As I said, that’s just not every day so that he doesn’t start and that’s always only in the morning (so at the first start in the early)! ? Battery and spark plugs are new and other things like Zb: brake fluid etc but they have nothing to do with it. Would be nice if you could help with it. Thank you in advance Lysarent

  • Drag Star 650, isn’t it?

    A wonderful good evening together, I would be very pleased about a few opinions about Drag Star 650. Planned as the first machine of a novice driver, say for me Have the model in mind for a long time, whereby I have to admit freely that this was a decision optics. Even I have unfortunately no idea of all the Tthnic aspects. Now I decided to read a few test reports again, talk to a few people with a clue etc and am now nic á la “bad driving behaviour”,”permanent anger” and “does not come out of the quark” fell quite often. And even the small size should seem rather disturbing, than advantageous. I am itself 1,78 large, at ~70kg Now I stand there and am quite unsure. Maybe rather a Suzuki Marauder? But there should not be all gold, which shines, even more plastic.. I don’t really like the Shadow of Honda so visually. But should well be l by the small cruisers who are with the most performance and better workmanship. What is your opinion on these models, or are there other ones that can be considered if I do not want to exceed a used price of 3500, until all at most 4000? Hope you can help me a little further. Best regards!
