  1. The battery does not have the responsibility of managing the Stop/Start function. That is mostly a software function. If the Stop/Start function has not been functioning properly in the past, it is likely due to the gradual deterioration of your battery until it ultimately failed.
  2. It is plausible that this might be the underlying reason, and I find it astonishing that a skilled technician would not have inspected all the pulleys, idler wheels, and tensioners for any issues prior to installing a new belt. The crucial aspect of it is the word "competent"!
  3. I believe it was an unexpected proposal to consider flipping the loom over. However, it is important to note that the individual coil connections are designed to be particular in length from back to front, so it would be unlikely for them to be mis-wired on each bank. Nevertheless, if the loom could be inverted, this possibility should be explored. Uncertain about the other components included in the loom portions that supply the coils - if there are connections for other equipment, it is quite improbable, but it does provoke curiosity!
  4. It is not expected to see a spark on the inflow valve. Both valves should be closed, and the plug leads should be connected in the right sequence.
  5. The dealership might provide you with information about your predicament. However, I am sceptical since the r171 and r172 are distinct vehicles. Are there any components such as suspension or mechanical parts that are compatible with your car?
  6. If you exceed the appropriate size, the calliper will not be able to fit.
  7. Take a look at this, my friend. https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/das-6-v2-dual-action-polisher
  8. On the r230, fully open the trunk and then click the red button. This will cause the roof to elevate, facilitating the loading process. To shut the roof, ensure that the separator is in the closed position and then hit the red button once again.
  9. Make sure to elevate the boot to its maximum height. If it is not fully elevated, the simple pack function will not operate.
  10. An easypack refers to a kind of packaging that is designed to be simple and convenient to use.
  11. Based on my personal experience, it is more cost-effective to go for a service plan when the subsequent service is of type "B". This way, you will get two "B" services and one "A" service.
  12. Travelling from Glasgow West bound on the M8 to the Erskine Bridge during rush hour is a risky endeavour. It will inevitably extend the trip by a minimum of 45 minutes. However, the advantage is that the route is straightforward. On the other hand, venturing via EK and other unfamiliar roads without prior knowledge might result in much more time being wasted, especially if one gets lost or encounters roadworks. It is advisable to do a traffic assessment upon approaching Glasgow on the day, since the conditions may vary hourly, as seen today by a vehicle overturning on the M8, resulting in its closure.
  13. The M8 will be closed in both directions overnight on the next weekends for bridge work. The specific time of closure at night is unknown, thus it would be advisable to do more inquiry. The M8 has heavy congestion most nights, regardless of the time of travel, resembling a carpark. Consider taking the exit at Junction 5 of the M74 and travelling via East Kilbride, Clarkston, Nitshill, and Paisley before reaching the M8 and continuing to the Erskine Bridge. This route will allow you to avoid using the M8 through Glasgow completely.
  14. Last night, I saw a captivating documentary on dragonflies, which I find really intriguing. (Slightly off-topic 😉 ) Despite having existed for 300 million years, numerous species in France are facing extinction due to chemical poisoning or habitat degradation. It would be tragic to lose such magnificent beings.
  15. Unfortunately, the situation is same here as well.
  16. Out of curiosity, does the automobile have a complete multi-body structural health?
  17. This seems really peculiar to me. A Mercedes-Benz dealer may provide a new key that is specifically programmed for the automobile, without the need to disassemble the vehicle.
  18. Prior to starting the vehicle, verify the voltage of both the newly installed auxiliary battery and the primary battery. A completely charged lead acid battery typically registers a voltage of 12.6 volts or higher. However, if you have an AGM battery, which I believe is the case, the voltage reading may be much higher.

  22. Based on the available used components, it is possible that these are the items you need.

  25. Can you verify the required component based on the provided diagrams? I just acquired a component from eBay US - Breakers.
