To access the menu, keep pressing the Star button. Choose the DAW window by scrolling down.

Feeling exactly the same way about everything

Same here. I will investigate the suggestion for the star button. That it could be so precise is news to me. When I first turn on my vehicle, I press down on the wheel button and hold the gas pedal for two seconds. Disables both simultaneously. Even though I wear spectacles, the DAW might not be happy about the weather. Although it's not ideal, I disable it when I'm behind the wheel. So, if I can make the star button work, it's a good shout. Left lane assist on the shelf. The semi-rural area where I reside has winding, narrow roads. Lane assist is a major headache.

I have the same issue; every time I get in my car, I just press a button to disable it.

For some reason, when the sun is directly overhead, my spectacles become extremely irritated unless you remove them. It is excessively delicate.

I set up the star button in the middle of the screen to activate the DAW warning. It can be easily turned off in this way.

My electric vehicle (EV3) has only been on the market for a month, but I am already frustrated with the DAW system. The stores close before I remember to turn it off, even though I know I can. It's like a mental checklist that I have to fill out every time I enter. We have car seat sets for both of us, but because of our vast height disparity—I'm 6 feet 4 inches and my wife is 5 feet 6 inches—we need to adjust the settings for our seats accordingly. The vehicle alarm has only gone off once while the wife is driving. With the exception of nighttime driving, when there is apparently no sound whatsoever, the system begins alerting me well in advance of my departure from the driveway and keeps beeping and horning at me for the majority of the trip. Indeed, I do wear spectacles. I was wondering if anyone else had experience with this or had any recommendations.

I neglected to enquire about your location.

When it comes to these cars, I only use high-quality brands like FAI, Frii, and Peirburg. If you're replacing the chain, FAI offers a comprehensive kit that includes all the hubs and bits, similar to a master kit and oil pup chain kit. I perform engine refreshes frequently, and I always take the head and sump off the pistons, swap out the oil rings for better ones, and use FAI for the labour and parts. If you want to see how my previous refreshes turned out, just type in "mike1967 refresh" and you'll see examples of what I've done.

The Mini Cooper S R56 N18 Auto is what I'm selling. Want to get a few things fixed, but the cost of labour is too high. What tasks can I accomplish simultaneously that will be most effective? The parts I'm examining include the timing chain, oil filter housing gasket, bushes, and lower control arms up front. It has 80,000 but is seldom used. Would you happen to have any recommendations for reputable brands of OE plus parts? best wishes

Thank you! I'm beginning to believe this is the best option for next winter.

A set of inexpensive basic alloys gets my vote. The rims don't have to be the exact same diameter as yours; what's important is that you select the correct profile tires to keep the total rolling diameter constant.

Obtaining a large enough item to fit over the brakes has become a challenge with most modern cars. Steels with a minimum diameter of 17 inches are practically nonexistent in the United Kingdom, so the only option is to import new ones from the European market, where winter sets are specifically designed. If you're not picky, you should be able to get a used set of W204 alloys for around £200, so they're not too expensive but still provide good value.

Recalling (I think there's a comparable thread on the forum somewhere) An Audi is the way to go. Ask yourself this: how many contemporary Audis had steel wheels?

No need to take it too seriously; I was simply trying to illustrate the idea that "oh yeah, I happen to know that (such and such) car's wheels fit" with that example.

Due to the PCD's utter mistake, the Nissan and Ford option cannot be pursued.

Salutations everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any idea which steel wheels from another vehicle would fit a W204. I searched online but couldn't locate any steel, but I did find several sets of pricey alloys. Ideally, there's a vehicle whose wheel fitment is identical to, or very near to, that of a Qashqai or Focus. The 5x112 bolt pattern and the different center bore are two similarities among Audi A4s. This is a general question, but I'm in the market for some affordable wheels to mount my winter tires on. I noticed that a brand new set of wheels costs around £350, but I'd rather not spend that much.

The A35, I get it, but it sounds like an EV would be ideal for your needs. Whenever you are able to charge.

The A35 was about £20 per week more than the entry-level A class, which is something I noticed the other day. So, something to think about if you're using a financial instrument. I thought it was possible to charge an electric vehicle at home. In that case, I'm leaning toward an electric vehicle; assuming a petrol A Class gets 35mpg at £1.79/liter, that works out to £165/month. Just £380 per month gets you a Mercedes electric vehicle. The larger Renault 5 EV, on the other hand, would cost you £220 per month plus £30 for charging, for a total of approximately £250 per month, as opposed to £550 per month for the Merc. A friend of mine just dropped £22,000 on a brand new, low-mileage 2023 BMW i4. I would definitely be in that if I had the means to do so. He claims that his range never drops below 30% and that he is plugged in again; I'm not sure what the equivalent Mercedes would be, but it has a 370-mile range. vehicle that was worth £62,000 when new but had 40,000 miles on the odometer was £22,000. So, the EQE, I suppose?

Definitely petrol. Fuel is less expensive than diesel initially, and most new cars get good petrol mileage, so there isn't much of a difference in operating costs.

It's a tough call between the AMG and the 1.3L Renault engine, but I'll go with the latter. 1.3L gasoline...nah.....there's "no replacement for displacement"! I doubt most people would be thinking about both of those things at the same time. Personally, I'd stay away from most modern diesels.

I would stay away from the OM654 engine because of its AdBlue system. Diesel has fallen out of favour, and the price of diesel fuel has increased. If an AMG is what you're after, then the CLA35 is a good choice. In terms of ride quality, maintenance expenses, gas mileage, and other metrics, it is not really compatible with the other two models you listed. Despite its lack of racing prowess, the 1.3L is known for its economy and dependability.
