  1. What does the act of exchanging important and valued information, such as No Claims Discount and claims history, between insurers seem suspicious or malicious? Is it not logical to take measures to avoid fraud and deception? Undoubtedly, it is advantageous for both the majority of clients and the insurance.
  2. Certain insurers may provide you with a No Claims Discount (NCD) if you are listed as a named driver on another insurance policy.
  3. Enquire with your insurance provider about the possibility of them replicating the No Claims Discount from the other vehicle. Upon changing insurers, your earned No Claims reduction (NCD) will only reflect the number of years you have accumulated up to that point. For instance, if you have 2 years NCD at the time of switching, you would be paying premiums as if you had 11+ years NCD. However, if you maintain the same insurer, you will get a reduction on your premium equivalent to having 9+ years NCD on this automobile.
  4. I have a strong affection for his 63.
  5. Motor insurers are now providing compensation for significant increases in costs related to labour, parts, automobile rentals, and write-offs. However, they are really providing more compensation than necessary, which may be seen as taking advantage of us. Transitioning from an older MPV to a more recent 'luxury' SUV will not be beneficial. What is the disparity in value if they were required to write it off? Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) are often more susceptible to theft or damage, as confirmed by the experiences of Rolls-Royce owners. If you increase your excess amount and explore other options, including those not included on comparison sites, you may find better deals. However, if you are financing the purchase of the MB, the additional cost on your monthly payments would be around 10% (this calculation involves some subjective reasoning). You might extend the funding period by an additional 6 months in order to reduce its impact. If the subject is not related to money, consider purchasing the insurance in advance to get a discount of 10% or more on the total cost. This is the action I undertook throughout the current year. Agonising but logical. Is the Volkswagen Tiguan, an SUV from VW, a viable alternative if the key determining element for the ranking is the Mercedes-Benz brand?
  6. Indeed. Are you asking whether there is a certain socket on the block? I would infer that the lower coolant pipe is the most likely culprit, based on your description of it.
  7. If it is similar to the E350 OM642, the location of the component is in the lower part of the radiator. Rotate and extract slightly to facilitate the drainage of coolant via the stopper.

    Is this the one you are referring to? https://www.amverselect.co.uk/used-mercedes-benz-cls-class-airdrie-lanarkshire-6115649
  9. The most remarkable fork truck event I had saw took place in the cargo facilities at Gatwick. While waiting for a pick up, I saw one of the handlers swiftly and dangerously unloading a truck. After securely removing 2 pallets, he quickly proceeded up to the next one. However, he miscalculated the distance and accidentally impaled the shrink wrapped pallet of boxes with his forks. The truck emitted a peculiar sound like a cascade of metal and the driver expressed their dismay with an exclamation mark, as almost 6 billion ball bearings fell off the pallet into the concrete apron.
  10. Admittedly, he had overlooked the fact that the Sprinter in issue had a fragile glazing affixed to one side.
  11. I once knew someone who managed to manoeuvre a long-wheelbase Sprinter van into a narrow space with a height limit of 6 feet 6 inches behind Mitcham Common. He was constantly reminded of it.
  12. Will you be uploading the dash cam video on Instagram?
  13. Apologies, I am not knowledgeable about the topic. The C350 I own is a 2012 model, specifically the updated version with cosmetic changes known as the facelift version. The sport mode on my vehicle is activated by pressing the sport button. This action results in the suspension being tightened and the transmission settings being altered.
  14. Emblem grommets may be obtained from a popular online auction platform, such as. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223799441619?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338181125&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X75cc25d253ea95f0554e7a0afd72f7d5
  15. Have you ruled out a fractured exhaust manifold as the origin of the sound?
  16. The audio quality is terrible. Is it possible that there is a break in the manifold? They have the ability to produce peculiar sounds.
  17. The W212 E63 2014-16 had the option of foldable rear seats and distronic. I did not have one of those features on my 64 plate E63. All the photographs I have seen of the W213 E63 saloon show the inclusion of foldable rear seats as a standard feature.
  18. Are you sketching or doodling in mid-air?
  19. It is worthless. The repairs exceed the initial estimate or budget and create lingering concerns about unsolved additional problems. In the present day, there is a significant value in salvaging materials since several components may be resold.
  20. What was the reason of the lack of oil pressure? Is the oil pressure switch malfunctioning?
  21. I own a collection of W201 wood, namely Zebrano and the somewhat scarce Burl Walnut that was installed in the final vehicles. Do you have any measurements or a few photographs of the damaged wood without the shifting gaitor installed?
