Hi....welcome to the Forum
I would first check the central locking fuse to see if it has blown.

Hi...welcome to the forums
I always wanted a Magnum but also a Firenza, out of my financial reach, even back then.

Good to have you onboard

Hi.....welcome to the Forum
I have no personal knowledge of the bluetooth setup using an adapter, but I think it will need coding into the vehicle for the functions to work on the wheel.
Hopefully someone on here has done this before and gets back to you soon

Easiest method would be to take the plugs out and see how they look, e.g. wet with fuel
The gaps and tightening torque is critical to avoid premature coil failure
-
Sorry to hear about the mirror....bloody inconvenient
You could try something like Wynns or STP which may make a difference...I have used it in the dim and distant past when oil was not as good quality as it is nowadays and just needed an additive to enhance it and stop the lifters from tapping away.

Even wrecks are now getting very expensive.
I'm always on the lookout for old-school Bimmers, great cars from a great era!

Hi....welcome to the Forum
I would first start with removing the auxiliary drivebelts and run the engine for a very short period to see if the noise disappears.
Sometimes a crankshaft pulley that is breaking up can give this sort of noise and is a very simple and cheap fix.
If not, then refit them and nothing lost....then time to move onto the bottom end.

Andyv6 . could be a contender

Would definitely be interested to hear how it works out, cheers

Have you checked the correct plug gaps as these can be instrumental in knocking out the coils

Hi Phill.....welcome to the Club
Damn fine looking car, always had a liking for the coupe body
Good to have you onboard

glad you resolved it....would have been gutting to take the box off again

There are several engine oil flushes on the market...some you add to the oil and run the engine at idle for 10 minutes or so and other flushes (which are harder to find as they are a trade item mainly) which you drain out the old engine oil and half fill the sump with the flush oil, run for 10 minutes and then drain
The latter works an absolute treat and really shifts the carbon deposits and sorts rattling hydraulic cam followers

That sounds like fun with your radio. My brother in law had a Nissan primera estate, and when you turned left the volume went up, but it would never come down low when you turned right at straightened up. Fun on roundabouts.
Typical Nissan/Renault electrics....poor connections on the steering wheel controls
-
Hopefully the replacement flywheel should resolve the issue....but also maybe worth checking the clutch assembly for anything that could cause an imbalance.
The noise is on overrun so more than likely a loose turbo/intercooler hose clip or even a slightly split hose creating an escape of pressurised boost
-
Hi Andy.....hope you are well?
The tapping noise is usually a sign that the oil is not at it's best, and also maybe worth using a flush through the engine when you do an oil change.
A good quality oil and of the correct grade should resolve this issue.It sounds like it could be a leaking cam cover responsible for the oil leak so I would programme this to be replaced at the same time as the oil change maybe?
Keep us in the loop as to how it all goes.
Cheers, Trevor
