It is important to note that both Mercedes and Jaguar have historically catered to a distinct and limited market for the V12 engine. The V12s exemplify understated luxury, equipped with several features, yet operate quietly. The AMG, or XJR, has consistently been the prominent sporty option: loud exhaust, several sports features, enhanced seats, and a significantly elevated silhouette. The AMG models surpassed the V12s, such as the SL600, by a ratio of 13:1, with 150 SL600s remaining in the UK compared to 2000 SL55, SL63, and SL65 models.

An annual expenditure of one thousand dollars on maintenance and repairs does not constitute "extravagant spending" for the upkeep of a V12 engine. Examine Lot 265 from Historics last month. This indicates a greater likelihood of costly upkeep, and it has only attained a value of £8,500. It requires much courage to undertake the upkeep of a V12 when a newer, lower-mileage SL may achieve comparable speed.

It is an appealing concept, however I hesitate at the notion of £16,000 "invested since 2008." “£16,000 over 17 years: that does not impress me significantly,” to paraphrase the philosopher, Shania. That appears to indicate "self-performed maintenance," rather than service by the primary dealer. The mileage appears to be consistently 2,000 miles per year recently, which is favourable. Requires two new tires to replace the current eight-year-old ones that maintain traction for 500 horsepower. Historics recently sold a comparable SL600 with 80,000 miles for £8,500 last month. Parcel 265 I appreciate the V12 engines; yet, their operational and maintenance costs are prohibitively high, resulting in their owners rarely accumulating regular miles.

Some tires provide a superior riding quality. Conduct research both here and online. Consider testing a decrease of one or two psi prior to investing in the tires. Are the shocks and suspension in proper condition? I had 18-inch wheels on my E350 coupe and have 19-inch wheels on the new E400 coupe. I concur that the ride is somewhat more challenging; but, the previous tires were subpar and excessively worn (the name escapes me). Consequently, I replaced them with Hankook tyres, which have improved the performance. I execute them a psi under the book.

Double-clicking the lock button deactivates the key. If you neglect it, it will persist in emitting a signal and depleting the battery. The most recent keys deactivate immediately in the absence of detected movement.

I should examine the frequency of oil changes, with the optimal interval being either 12 months or 7,000 to 10,000 miles.

Thank you for the reminder.

Are there any other considerations I should review before acquiring a vehicle, apart from the standard inspections?

I am planning to acquire a new vehicle this year and have been considering BMW models, specifically the 3 Series and 5 Series, namely the 2.0L 320d and 520d from the 2012 model year and later. Both options appear satisfactory; however, I believe they are equipped with the N47 engine, which reportedly requires significant maintenance, particularly concerning the timing chain. Would it be prudent to opt for a higher mileage 3.0L 330d or 530d instead?

Indeed, it is necessary to detach the pipe from the injector itself. Have you assessed the fuel pressure while cranking using an OBDII reader?

It is necessary to bleed the injectors, since there may be an air lock present.

Excluding the really unusual autos, I have discovered that both the value and performance of a car do not much impact insurance prices. The premium is mostly influenced by the risk profile of the manufacturer, model, person/occupation, and geographical location, rather than any other factors.

My device has also been experiencing intermittent malfunctions. I perceive the sound more prominently when you deactivate the engine when the door or window is open. I have identified the origin of the issue as the horizontal seam located on the middle silencer of the exhaust system. The surface has had little delamination and there is a minor leakage present. I am contemplating the use of exhaust putty to cover the affected area, since there are no visible signs of rust. Please examine that location and see if you are experiencing a similar problem.

If you believe this to be true, are the bolts for the EGR pipe easily visible and can they be tightened quickly? (assuming the plate is located at the front of the engine, rather than at the back near the cooler)

If I were not approaching the age of 65, with ailments such as a fractured spine and no knee ligaments, and if I had a suitable space to store and repair it, I would retain the automobile and restore it appropriately. However, at present, the car can only be kept outside on grass, which is detrimental to any vehicle.

Additionally, I neglected to mention that the driver's door has undergone a replacement of the window actuator. Although it functions well, the window does not descend enough when the door is opened, and I am uncertain about the appropriate method of adjustment. The vehicle is equipped with a 'M' steering wheel and has Bluetooth connectivity that functions for media purposes. I have never attempted it via the telephone... Indeed, I will retain further information.

I am selling my E46. Requires replacement of three tyres, clutch, dual mass flywheel (DMF), and there seems to be an issue with the back axle, perhaps indicating a damaged sub-frame. A few weeks ago, we had to transport our vehicle and camping trailer back home using a trailer. However, during the journey on the A1m, the automobile began to experience bouncing when driving in the centre lane. As soon as our speed fell below around 50 miles per hour, we were pulled over by the authorities. After stopping, I decided to off the highway and contacted the roadside assistance service Green Flag/Mayday. I am aware that the clutch has been experiencing a rough and jerky sensation, but the violent jolts and vibrations when the dual-mass flywheel disengaged were quite unpleasant. Additionally, the vehicle exhibited erratic movements, including bouncing, jumping, and swerving across at least two, if not all three, lanes. I purchased an inexpensive Mondeo with the intention of using it for a year until my retirement. Currently, I only work part-time. However, I have experienced three episodes of illness this year, which have prevented me from being physically fit enough to repair the car myself. Additionally, the local garage, although highly skilled, is too costly and not financially viable for the car. Therefore, I have decided to sell it. I am uncertain about purchasing another BMW. Instead, I want to go back to Land / Range Rover next year. Therefore, I bid farewell to my BMW, since it has been an enjoyable experience. If anybody is interested in purchasing it, I have arranged for a wrecker to pick it up on Friday. However, you will need to inspect it in Doncaster before this next Friday. I will be occupied with work on Friday morning, and the individuals responsible for transporting the vehicle will arrive between 12-1 to collect it.The price is £500. Currently, the vehicle is declared off the road and does not have valid tax. However, it operates smoothly and reliably. The driver's seat bolster is torn. The vehicle does not have an EGR system. It has recently had an oil and filter change, and comes with a spare fuel filter and original chrome grill parts.

Regarding my situation, I own an Android phone.

I often encounter this situation. Prior to the conversion to miles, I am required to activate the refresh button. I reached out to Kia Connect Support and received instructions to uninstall and reinstall the application, which I promptly followed. It functioned well for a few days and thereafter resumed exhibiting the same behaviour. I made the decision that I had more important tasks to attend to.

Furthermore, other from replacing the new fluid and filter, I also substituted this item.

Has occurred in both high and low ranges. I believe this occurs when the engine revolutions are elevated, accompanied by the introduction of a certain kind of burden. The vehicle may be driven at speeds ranging from 20 to 50 miles per hour in sand mode, manoeuvring through sluggish ruts or engaging in rock crawling where the engine revs fast to overcome obstacles. Recently, it has also been used for a challenging ascent on a steep and scorching road in the desert.

The speed sensors are providing reliable measurements. Perhaps it is only experiencing excessive heat. However, that does seem peculiar. Only in off-road terrain, once again. I have driven extensively on highways and in urban areas, both for long distances and small trips, and the issue has never shown itself.

I am not receiving any orange light. The only components shown on the green LCD are the letter F and the digital message "transmission fault limited gears available". I have no recollection of seeing anything of an orange hue.

Excellent cognitive abilities! I will investigate that!

Yes, completed. In my first post, I said that I had already completed that task. Replacement of fluid and filter.
