I have experienced that several times throughout my car ownership, my friend; one feels a tightening in the abdomen and an acceleration of the heartbeat.

Indeed, I consistently receive the "it has failed" notification, and when they begin enumerating the costs, it resembles the national debt of a minor nation in the Far East.

We anticipate nothing less, InsigDriv3. The vehicle is a testament to your efforts, my friend.

It is gratifying when a vehicle passes its MOT without any advisories.an additional 12 months of enjoyable driving

I consistently anticipate with trepidation the phone call informing me that it is ready. You believe this call may be the costliest I receive this year.

.......

The MOT day consistently induces anxiety, particularly for me at the past occurrence, when I received a bill above £1,000.

That is a well-maintained vehicle; I received one advisory this year regarding corrosion on the subframe. The garage was cleaned and repainted. That is all for now. I am perpetually apprehensive about my electrical system malfunctioning during the MOT inspection. I saw that my driveshafts appear somewhat rusty and are exhibiting flaking when I inspected them over the weekend.

It is always reassuring to receive a clean bill of health. I hope these Insignia Bs do not present numerous issues as they age. My vehicle is now seven years old and has yet to receive an advisory, let alone a failure. I recently conducted a major service using as many Vauxhall components as possible.

Today marked the first MOT since acquiring my GrandSport; I can hardly believe I have owned it for over a year. This morning, I delivered it to my local garage en route to work. With a mind full of possible car issues, I received a call from the garage shortly after 10. With a sense of impending dread, I answered and posed the familiar inquiry, "What is the damage, then?" Merely to be informed..... 'Nothing, my friend; she has passed the MOT without any failures or advisories.' This is unprecedented, as I typically discover that a second-hand vehicle invariably has issues that are not classified as 'official advisories' but remain unaddressed due to my lack of awareness. Since it was scheduled for a 'small service and MOT', I requested that they perform the 'major 2-year' service instead. A slight indulgence, wouldn't you agree?.....I intend to consider this clean MOT as the first year, if you comprehend my meaning. She is currently parked outside, prepared for our forthcoming journey.

The cold contraction of the cable may render it excessively taut, preventing the release of the warning lighting. I am uncertain about the solution as I do not possess an electronic PB.

I will not interpret that literally! It occurs above the freezing point, specifically below 10°.

Avoid engaging the brake in subzero conditions.

Similar to the previous year, the Electric Vehicle Parking Brake issue appears as soon as the temperature drops when I initially commence driving. Activating and deactivating the handbrake button yields no effect. It vanishes practically instantaneously. Does anyone own a rapid solution? Edit-SLK250d, 2015 model

Does it definitely have a diesel particulate filter?

Only upon reaching a specific threshold.

Thank you. Is it accurate to presume that DPF regeneration occurs only once a specific threshold of soot mass is attained, such as around 50 grammes? Should it occur every time you drive on the motorway for around an hour?

The passive regeneration must be functioning effectively; otherwise, the DPF will be completely obstructed after 10,000 miles.

The prerequisites for regeneration have not been satisfied for some reason.

Dear All, I possess a 2010 BMW 520D F10. I assessed the DPF status using an OBD2 reader and obtained the subsequent data regarding DPF regeneration. DPF - Distance Travelled Since Last Regeneration = 16,507 km (~10,257 miles) DPF Engine Operating Time Since Last Regeneration = 3010 hours, 5 minutes, 20 seconds DPF-Exhaust Gas Differential Pressure = 95.99 DPF-Soot Mass = 45.99 DPF-Status, Total Remaining Distance = 83,440 km I do not have any notice regarding the DPF on the dashboard. Could you assist me in comprehending the aforementioned readings? I travelled 60 miles last night at an average speed of 65 mph and have undoubtedly covered hundreds of miles in a single journey over the last 10,000 kilometres. What caused the DPF regeneration to fail? Thank you.

My TPMS indicates a pressure marginally higher than the observed value. On both my Jaguar and my Mercedes. There is a minor discrepancy in tyre pressure monitoring system readings from side to side on the Mercedes, although it is negligible. The system is engineered to identify pressure drops due to leaks and performs effectively in this capacity. I depend on the precise pressure recorded at the valve stem for accuracy.

My TPMS is quite precise when compared to other pressure measurement devices.

The tires are new; however, I am unsure of the age of the TPMS valves.
