Old Headlight restoration - Do it Yourself Cheap !
Get yourself a 2 ton trolly jack and lift the whole back of the car and give yourself some room to work comfortably. You also buy an exhaust bandage that works well, you put in on wet as it’s soaked in some type of cement and you use to jubilee brackets. Interesting video though, nobody repairs exhausts anymore.
I've had my 2010 i30 for two years now, it has been very good. There is a little bit of rust at the top of the rear passenger doors, which I've treated and am regularly checking. The AC has never worked, but in the UK you don't really miss this. Unlike your one mine is not noisy and sounds very smooth for a diesel. It's not quick but for an older driver like me it is certainly all I need. I'm hoping I can get another 2 to 3 years out of it before looking for a replacement. I'd definitely buy another one.
I was really happy with it. Last few days I’ve been looking on autotrader if I can find something similar
Turns out a lot of people have drowned in their own EVs, here in Spain after the flash floods. I don't know of any victims were driving Tesla's, but people tend to instinctively roll up their windows thinking it's the safest measure, unbeknownst to the fact that they are sealing their death sentence, before drowning inside their vehicles
That is actually really sad to hear :/
The 4 problems you listed are the go to sticking points for people who have never even owned an EV. Let's first think about the first 2 - which combined are an irony. If you're wealthy enough to waste money on a new car buying experience you don't care about upfront costs, and if you plan on getting rid of it, you lease it. If you're too poor for the privilege, you have no business splurging on a new car or complaining about how much they cost, and are in the perfect position to go used market because depreciation is your friend. The only EV owners who suffer from "range anxiety problems" are those who don't have access to their own charging, one of the biggest perks of owning an EV regardless of availability of overpriced superchargers, and the other type are those who don't do their research and got an EV with less than average range with outdated BMS tech (like an old leaf). Psychologically speaking, it's been engrained in people's heads that if there's no overpriced fuel within arm's length it's the end of the world for drivers. As an actual EV owner I avoid those like the plague for more reasons than 1, and only use them when I'm extra lazy and don't mind paying what an average ICE driver pays.
paying 10x less cost to drive in the first place if u are on a decent tarrif and assuming u was around 30mph on an ICE is enough for me
That's the type of shallow thinking that gets the frog to boil every time.
@ElMistroFeroz well I was spending 20£ for 100 miles on my C5 air cross petrol auto getting 30mpg average now it's £2
The cost of VED is not relevant in the purchase of an EV. I'd prefer to have decent road surfaces
I agree
Road tax are for car that drive on the road .Electric car are more expensive to fix , battery lifespan is unsure ,battery fire risk, battery manufacturing is not environmentally friendly. Leaving people choose is the best , make Electric car appealing not buying the with big discount paid by Taxpayers . Electric car
You forgot the part where ICE are also subsidized. And no, most of these taxes are asspulls. Where I'm at, road taxes came with the standard registration and vehicle property tax (which is a problem for people who think they own things), until the government started getting fat and found another tax to call "road tax".
if gov want to screw the electric changover for repurchasing or first time EV switchers for next 5 years at least, they couldnt have stupidly🙈 planned it any worse by removing all the financial carrots . Do the powers that be know that ev insurance is on average 20 to 30 % more expensive to insure 🤮and that public chargers work out in mile costs 🤮about same as traditional ice mpg. In the words of Forrest Gump " Stupid is what stupid does" .
DUM and silly road tax , basically its desperate uk TREASURY revenue squeezing , Sit your kids for a few hours say only 3 or 4 on a chair directly behind a engine running deisal or petrol engine , Would you ? , answer is ( unless your a crazy sick sadist) absolutely not . Now sit the same kids behind a ev for a punishingly boring 24 hours and see if their health and respiration has been effected , There you have it , from the mouths, throats and chests of babes , SO the element of road tax foe EVs should be £50 .00 per year . RAISE R TAX charges on the REAL polluting engines , its FAIR and logical . A good example of how daft r tax charging gets is my bro in law who runs a deisal 2016 suv , yes a deisal with manual gbox , HE PAYS SINCE he purchased it as a 1yr old vehicle 0 r tax , yes 0 lol , done 80,000 miles of deisal fume driving since, and never , never paid rtax and still doesnt up to this coming april 25 , but i think he might have to pay 20 pounds after april 25 , HE IS SHAKING IN HIS BOOTS lol , £ 20 pounds after 7 years of running a deisal .
You need a hair cut.
I have the 03 z4 3.0 litre, automatic with the manual option. I never use the manual cuz when you push the sport mode button I cant shift aswell as the computer. Its a blast to drive in sport mode so much fun to drive while in auto. Most teslas or other Ev's back off after about 10 minutes trying to keep up with me on highway.😂
And even if they were faster, they will never experience the sound we do, neither the joy of having the roof down.
Inline six NOT flat six
I know. It was a mistake
@@Battery-Powered we all make mistakes
What hurts the consumption are those frequent runs from 120-250kmh on derestricted autobahn
Wish we had derestricted autobahns here in 🇬🇧.
you have to use the choke ( atleast from what i know i might be wrong ) when the its cold outside like for winter and harsh conditions to make it start easier.
That’s true!
@@Battery-Powered also sometimes when the engine quirky.
I like the features and what this vehicle offers, but I would also look at it's closest direct competitors. Lincoln Nautilus & Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Would love to drive Lincoln Navigator it has such a presence! But I always thought that the Lincoln built quality is not as good as on Cadillac is it ?
@@Battery-Powered I never owned an American vehicle, but I would trust Ford before GM.
The answer is yes, especially the M Roadster.
you forget to clean the filter, most important. The filter is in a black tube behind the fan.
You are right. After making this mistake I then opened it again and clean the filter too
Best car no electronics no stupid crap just chebrovežis/frienddeliver car
It was really cool experience driving it
For a cheap banger car you don't do a car review in same format as a new car. What do you expect for 1800?
Thank you for the advice
Having owned Porsche’s since the early 1990‘s. I can highly recommend the Z4. I bought one, because I was curious. Have truly enjoyed my z4 ownership and highly recommend. Simply because they brought for me enjoyment without the expense.
I love my z4 sadly I have to sell it as I need more practical car and can’t afford having two cars atm
Awesome! saved my MOT drama
I am really glad it helped!
This really helps to prolong the life of hybrid batteries
Indeed it does!
Bruh, cleaning the filter is step one.
True!
I have a lada 2101. It's silly how fun it is. And yes in modern days it's well dated,but in the 70's and early 80's it really wasnt that bad. Many people say that the aztech carb ruined the reliability
And yet even with the aztech carb these cars are so easy to work on.
why suicidal music in background ????

Iam actually happy to hear that!
Thats nothing, my brother has a is220d with over 380 000 km on the clock. But the head gasket has been replaced at last once
I’ve just passed my driving and I’m looking to get a z4 as my first car 😂
Congratulations on passing your test! You will not regret it.
Which one you recommend for TOYOTA Auris please?
I always go for e5
😂😂
It's free to be an idiot😂
Bitcoooooooooooooooooonnect
What year is your z4? I know in 2007 the aux for a z4 is hidden and out of sight is located right below the ac button above the heated seat buttons closer to the passenger side seat on the dash.
Mine is 2004 but I’ll have a look just in case. However, I have now fitted a Bluetooth module and so far works great
@@Battery-Powered Cool 😎. I don’t know if the 2004 has it but in 2006-2008 they have the aux very recently I test drove a z4 coupe and I was looking to see if it has one and I founded I don’t know on your year z4 if they came with one it would be interesting to know if BMW equipped them with one from factory like the 2007 z4 I test drove.
Cz5 has 210 liter in trunk
Thanks for pointing that out
Thank you so much!! What about removing the message on dashboard?
Did you try disconnecting the battery for 10-15min?
Thx mate
Glad you found it useful mate!
this just proves that camera quality doesnt affect a great video
Glad you liked it!
@@Battery-Powered the music and rhe whole vibe, its just so cool
@@kritijonasguobys7246 thanks dude
@@kritijonasguobys7246 I’ll try and review some more cars like this
@@Battery-Powered yeah that would be real nice, im actually sort of planning on buying myself a 2101/21011 lada. the prices arent too bad in all them eastern european countries now. hoping to get one imported to northern ireland
Just wondering how much is your insurance with this car?
It was £600 with 7years NCB
So time consuming.
Thanks a lot for the video. I bought my car end of last year and in January did my first full service at The dealership (Lexus) paid for full service + health check just to get the 1 year warranty for the battery. Car passed on the test and yesterday I saw the message on my dashboard about the cooling parts… went to the dealership and they ask for €170,00 just for diagnostic + the hours of work it would be more than €300 just to clean and reset the code 😂 I did by myself and cleaned the code disconnecting the 12v battery. My filter was super dirty, they never checked that when I did the service. I also just removed 3 clips from the side like someone comment on the other video, thanks a million again better use this money to buy new rims 😂😂😂
I am so glad you found the video helpful!!
mpg?
Yes
My 2003 has only 29k miles. However my biggest issue is the door locks, both sides froze for fob and also the key, so I never lock it.
What caused it ? Is that a common issue on the e85 ?
nearly fall a sleep watching this . I'm gs450h owner with 20MPG 😇
Not to mention Z4 is a chavs magnet
Please if you can help me, I cleaned the whole system but I am left with the same error on the screen, how do I get rid of it?
Did you drive for a while ?
@@Battery-Powered I disconnected the 12v battery for 10 minutes, everything is ok now, thanks
@@AndreiDemanasamaiei glad it’s all sorted!
Dont buy that ugly thing, get a z3 instead
I love it! Especially with the Aero kit!
After looking at the videos on cleaning these elements on Toyota hrbrids I can only say how disappointed I am that Toyota chose to design the hybrid cooling components where they are so relatively inaccessible. I am sure Toyota is not alone in this flaw but really, this is a failure on Toyota’s design team for such a critical element of the hybrid system. It should be bo more difficult than checking or changing the gas engine air cleaner.
I agree! Although you don’t have to do it very often at all, it will be nice if it was easier to access it.
Can you please tell me if the black connector for the cruise control is already hanging out and visible as I can’t seem to see the connection on my z4 e85 2007 2.0i sport thanks in advance
The reason you don’t see it is because you have the facelift version. In your case the installation is a bit more complicated but still relatively easy DIY
I love this car,i remember the first car of my fathrr
It was such an event for me to have the chance to drive it so many years after it was built
