  1. There is no phone in mine, but there is one in the SLK. However, there are no buttons in the SLK.
  2. Later, I will examine my SL500 to see what I can deduce.
  3. Personally, I shall allocate my efforts only to those whom I deem worthwhile. It seems like you are expressing the same sentiment.
  4. To be honest, the combination of a sophisticated Euro 6 diesel engine with a Mercedes hybrid system seems like a very problematic and worrisome scenario in the long run. If I recall well, is there also a gasoline-powered variant available? That is precisely what I would be seeking, from a personal standpoint.
  5. Comandonline is very proficient in their field. Audio technicians as well!
  6. Do you have any recommendations for talented independent individuals to join our group?
  7. In which district of London are you located? I am inquiring whether anybody can recommend a reliable independent technician that is very knowledgeable in STAR, Xentry, and other related systems. Dear Richard, Do you have any opinions or ideas once we are aware of the specific region or location?
  8. The extent of the damage will be significant. It is advisable to abandon it and get an alternative.

    Pristine 190e

    I am unable to see that....in which specific location are you directing your gaze? Perhaps this substandard job monitor is the cause of the issue.

    Pristine 190e

    Charming.....I have always been attracted to the 190e model. However, the absence of alloy wheels, air conditioning, a 1.8-liter engine, and a 5-speed gearbox make it undesirable to me.
  11. The convertible vehicle may have issues with water infiltration into the sills. Simply remove the drain plugs.
  12. Maintaining the cleanliness of the hood might become a laborious task if the automobile is not stored in a garage. The primary reason I exchanged a convertible for the SLK is because my current vehicle is parked on the driveway. In winter, the fabric's weave becomes a breeding ground for green mould, which builds rapidly. During spring, the task of cleaning bird droppings becomes quite challenging, particularly on bright, sunny days. In regards to the airscarf, I consider it to be completely futile while wearing a coat with a rather high collar, as one cannot see its advantages. However, the heated seats provide a pleasant and comforting experience.
  13. AG suggests applying an additional layer, particularly their Extra Gloss Protection, over the SRP. Previously, I used Megs Last touch as a solution for interim cleaning, nevertheless, I have now switched to AG Aqua Wax. Apply in a similar manner to a spray detailer, such as Last Touch. Simply spray it into a clean, damp vehicle and dry with a microfiber cloth. Straightforward.
  14. I slightly flexed it towards the plastic lever, creating a gentle curvature to ensure its secure placement into the slot. The amount was little, about one or two millimetres.
  15. Negative. Observe carefully the area located to the left of the spring's final position. You will be able to see the visible indentation caused by the spring on the black plastic component as it was being removed. The desired position is at the adjacent upper-left spot of the existing position, which is a huge teardrop-shaped hole. Observe the image I had shown in post number 3. If possible, applying a little flexion to the spring (towards the black plastic lever) can aid in preventing it from dislodging once again.
  16. Despite my rather small stature, I found myself reclining on my back, with my head positioned in the footwell and my feet extending over the seat back. I aimed to avoid discouraging the original poster.
  17. The 'spring' refers to a large coil spring that is tightly coiled around the cylinder located at the top of the foot pedal. It is the mechanism that restores the pedal to its original position when the lever is pulled. Occasionally, the shown end protrudes from its designated position inside the black plastic release lever. I slightly curved it before repositioning it, in order to enhance its stability. The release handle becomes limp due to the black plastic lever being trapped in the raised position, resulting in the removal of all tension from the cable. Ensure the integrity of the little release spring, which serves the purpose of retracting the handle to its original position.
  18. Almost. A T20 (torx) screwdriver is required, however a suitable flat-bladed screwdriver may be used as an alternative. Exercise caution while changing the panels since they may have integrated ventilation ducts. Additionally, there will be a substantial amount of foam sound insulation present. I never comprehended the process of how everything was reversed.
  19. If you possess even a little level of proficiency with a screwdriver and pliers (like to the ability to replace a fuse), proceed to detach the panels located above your shins and position your head underneath them. There is a significant probability that the 'Spring' has dislodged from its position in the 'Plastic lever'. Reinsert it using your pliers and while you are below, verify that the 'Release spring' has not become detached.
  20. Large birds pushing on it, maybe triggering it.
  21. Search through eBay for a pre-owned item, aiming to locate one that is identical to yours but from a more recent model of vehicle. πŸ‘πŸ‘. As far as I know, it is located just behind the driver's side wheel arch.
  22. The Mercedes-Benz in question is a 2017 model, which is quite new. It just sold for Β£22,000.
  23. Attempt to open the device and replace the existing battery with a new one. This is a viable option provided the device is not saturated with water and does not have internal rusting.
