Dean - what is your opinion on the timing chain? Is there an issue anymore with these and is being at the rear of the engine a serious concern?
@mrk2938 Жыл бұрын
chains dont break but tensioners are plastic so after 60k miles should replace them/ upgrade. will cost about 300 but the engines are bulletproof
@robindargavel27762 ай бұрын

Nice review, thanks. I had been looking at a 2017 model in Java Green, its a 435d Gran Coupe, did that come as standard with the HK sound system and also the keyless system ? I do not like Keyless at all, is there anyway to get it amended so that it does not transmit constantly and only when the key moves like the newer models can now do ?I If not i will fit a Ghost system but i would rather have the keyless system made safer. A small favour though on the next videos, if you are talking with the bonnet up and the engine running........... move a way a bit as i could hardly hear you talking about the dpf etc.
