  1. The low battery may have disturbed the Ghost. The Ghost is theoretically engineered to accommodate all anticipated vehicle voltage ranges, namely a minimum of 16V. The charger should not exceed 14.8V; yet, I have observed intelligent chargers reaching 15.4V when they determine that the battery requires desulfation. Notably, my charger’s product description does not address this issue at all. I reached out to the maker (Ring), and they informed me that it operates at a very low current and is safe. In summary, it is highly probable that the low voltage disturbed the Ghost.
  2. Thank you, everyone. I was rather inclined to have it monitored.
  3. I have been enjoying familiarising myself with my E53 estate. It feels firmly established, and the performance exceeds my requirements. In several respects, it resembles the driving experience of my E350 estate; however, the primary distinction is in the turning radius. I am still unable to park the car correctly; the turning radius is far smaller than that of my previous vehicle, resulting in my frequently encroaching against the adjacent space until I can realign the car. I observe that when I rotate the steering wheel to full lock, the front tires begin to exhibit a crabbing motion. Is this typical for this vehicle equipped with 20-inch wheels, or should I have it inspected?
  4. I anticipate he will encounter difficulties in achieving his asking price because to the gearbox issue.

  6. These are rather inexpensive in the US; I have located a reliable rust-free model nearby that includes air conditioning but need a gearbox replacement.
  7. Components are also in action for me (before, I possessed a vehicle that required less maintenance) 😎
  8. Indeed, it has been dismantled; the vehicle is currently in numerous components at the local Mercedes-Benz specialist. My version corresponds to the original photograph I shared, featuring the pipes positioned forward, rather than the others I have encountered widely, unfortunately.
  9. Greetings, Thank you for the research conducted there. Interestingly, you have identified the identical issue I encountered; however, the complication is in the pipes. Reorient the object to match the initial image I shared, ensuring the ringed section is positioned identically, and you will observe that the pipes extend from the rear rather than the front, as depicted in my illustration. I can easily locate the left-hand drive version, but the right-hand drive variant is proving to be somewhat elusive. The part number you possess corresponds with the Mercedes part lookup; yet, any attempt to locate it results in the pipes being orientated incorrectly. It resembles a hybrid mutt!
  10. Greetings, Indeed, I have already explored r129.co.uk; but, there is no information available for the C140 or W140 models. It appears that the components are same, however the part numbers differ. Preferably, I would choose for a new component, as I have encountered reports indicating that they are prone to failure. The cost and inconvenience associated with disassembling the vehicle to install a used part appears somewhat irrational, given the likelihood of a recurrence occurring sooner than with a fresh replacement. It is exceedingly annoying that all the new models available appear to be for left-hand drive, despite claims of being right-hand drive.
  11. All the models I have located, including the purchased one, include the pipes on the left side orientated towards the rear, rather than the front. I possess part numbers A1408300358, A1408301558, and A1408302258, which are purportedly accurate; yet, all of them appear to yield LHD options once more. Does anyone have suggestions on potential sources? I presently possess a CL420 disassembled into over 1,000 components at my local Mercedes-Benz specialist awaiting installation. I prefer new items, but not at exorbitant prices. Numerous new non-Mercedes options are available for under £200; nevertheless, they all feature pipes orientated incorrectly. There may be one available at Mercedes in Germany for £700 plus VAT. If I cannot identify a more rational alternative, I may have to reluctantly proceed with that option, though I remain hopeful for another possibility. Thank you in advance for any guidance.
