  1. Overlooked this, another noteworthy aspect.
  2. 1. The mileage of 83,000 is considered quite low for this kind of vehicle. By examining the prices on BringATrailer, it is evident that they are currently increasing for well-maintained, unmodified vehicles. 2. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) air struts, which may be used as replacements, are very affordable and have a lifespan of around 10 years or more before requiring maintenance. This is comparable to the typical lifespan of conventional shocks or struts. 3. Deceiving the computer is only a crude and unsophisticated approach. 4. The supercharged vehicles were equipped with adaptive suspension dampening, which allowed for changing spring rates from the air shocks. Additionally, the cars had variable dampening rates, which contributed to improved cornering stability, braking, and acceleration. This feature was particularly important when dealing with the high power output of 500hp. I have the ability to continue. I own a pair of these highly powered trucks manufactured between 2010 and 2012, and I have performed suspension modifications on each of them. The cost of the job is not exorbitant and, in my view, it is definitely worthwhile. I opted to replace the control arm bushings, ball joints, sway bar end links and sway bar bushings simultaneously, resulting in a significant improvement in the truck's performance, making it seem as if it were brand new. Although I had placed an order for a new L460 truck, I have come to realise that I really enjoy the driving experience of my previous L322s when they are correctly configured. If I were in your position, I would strongly recommend seeking out a different mechanic, preferably one who have expertise in handling these specific kind of vehicles.
  3. Do not do a conversion, only replace the front air struts.
  4. I operate PS91 on the E63 without any complaints...
  5. The dependability of an automobile is greatly influenced by the owner's characteristics. Individuals who choose to bring their expensive, extensively customised vehicles with many features to the dealership every time a door hinge makes a squeaking sound will likely report more problems compared to the individual driving a Honda Accord who just applies a little amount of lubricant to the hinge and continues working without expressing any dissatisfaction. The level of maintenance required and the likelihood of system failures increase as the complexity of the item being purchased increases. An RR is not an invulnerable vehicle; in fact, no vehicle can claim to be completely impervious.
  6. The Maypole MP7423 has received very positive ratings on Amazon. For what it's worth I use Optimate battery maintainers for my automobiles. Although they have a moderate pace, they seem to effectively maintain the charge of my batteries for extended periods of inactivity. In contrast, they are also rather expensive.
  7. I strongly discourage attempting to do drifts or burnouts in an all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle if you lack the necessary expertise. It is much more challenging to handle and operate a rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicle without feeling inadequate or, even worse, causing any harm.
  8. Are you certain that your automobile battery is in good condition?
  9. I refrained from seeing this film upon its release a few days ago due to my anticipation of a bad evaluation. I am interested in watching it just to observe whatever favourable aspect he chooses to portray as a bad. Revise started observing and to my astonishment... it started with a rather optimistic tone... Please depart from this location.
  10. I believe that the parking brake may be the cause of the issue. Have you undergone any reconstruction or refurbishment of it? Will the automobile remain stationary on a hill after pressing the pedal 5 times? I am unable to provide a clear explanation for the loud noise, but I can provide some suggestions on how to proceed. Place wheel chocks in front of the vehicle, ensure the car is in neutral and release the brakes. Position a trolley jack under the rear differential, raise the rear wheels off the ground and attempt to manually rotate them. If there is a problem with the brake shoes, you will immediately be aware of it. You will need to elevate it in order to inspect the springs and connections, as previously mentioned. Please inform us of your findings.
  11. I really dislike intermittent issues. My computer's performance fluctuates, sometimes it runs well and other times it becomes unresponsive intermittently. Occasionally, my 2013 BMW X5 35i xDrive has a complete deflation or "sitting down" on both sides of the rear axle while parked on level ground. When the automobile is parked with its front end facing downward or at an angle, there are instances when it does not compress or lower itself to the ground. While driving on the motorway, the vehicle sometimes exhibits smooth performance, but at other times it has a bouncing motion both during forward travel and while reversing down a 40-yard downhill driveway. I presume that I own a defective air bag, which is the reason for its erratic movement. One tyre loses air pressure while the other tyre remains unaffected. As I drive, I can hear the air pump attempting to fill the tyre around once per minute. However, why do both bags lose air pressure while the vehicle is stopped and the engine is not running? Assist me, Obi-Wan! You are my only source of hope!

  13. I am able to monitor my car's location, lock and unlock it, and check whether it is locked. It also records the highest speed, which might potentially impact insurance claims.
  14. After seeing the EVOdessey video on EV6 vulnerability, I am heeding his recommendation to implement 3-4 distinct deterrents. I purchased a steering lock and a Faraday box. I am considering purchasing the Ghost II system for my vehicle. Discovered two experienced installers in Birmingham that have been in the industry for a considerable amount of time. Can you suggest reputable installers in Hampshire? What are the commonly recommended trackers and immobilisers for our cars?
  15. My insurance premium in California with Connect (Costco) rose after they stopped accepting new clients in California. They attributed the rise on Covid and "shortages," despite the absence of any claims.The California Insurance Commissioner yielded to the pressure from insurance firms threatening to leave the state due to rate restrictions and granted them permission to increase prices, thereby disadvantaging consumers.
  16. Hello, What specific alterations were made? Regrettably, I still own it, and my dealer is unaware or unable to get a resolution from Mazda DE.
  17. Can you describe the actions of your dealer? Regrettably, my dealer is unable to find it.
  18. Greetings, everybody. Recently, I have been hearing a rattling noise from the B-pillar region on the driver's side of my car in Germany when the temperature dropped. Has anybody experienced this before? The rattling noise is increasing in volume daily and has become very bothersome. Perhaps someone has knowledge of this and can assist me. I may give you an audio recording via private message. Audio files cannot be uploaded here.
  19. This one is quite unusual. With the exception of one of my Rovers, this system works well, activating consistently and effortlessly. One of them fails to activate around 50% of the time, and when it does, it requires many efforts.
  20. Postscript: If I were in your position, what course of action would I take? I would request a longer duration for the test drive and reset the trip computer to accurately determine the miles per gallon (mpg) achieved. Additionally, it may be prudent to inquire about the possibility of arranging a test drive for a petrol estate vehicle that closely matches the specifications you want.
  21. In 2021, I extensively explored the possibility of purchasing a pre-owned estate car. However, I was discouraged by the lacklustre service provided by a Mercedes-Benz dealer, an underwhelming test drive experience, and the indication that the estimated fuel efficiency would be about 48 miles per gallon, in addition to the expense of charging the vehicle. Thus, I departed with the notion of "I am uncertain about the rationale behind my actions." Perhaps it would be prudent for me to postpone my decision till the second iteration of hybrid models becomes available. Ultimately, I choose to retain my V8 engine and continue driving my BMW 3 series vehicle. A C class refers to a Mercedes vehicle that has the advantages of MB specifications, craftsmanship, and manoeuvrability. However, does the hybrid surpass the performance of a petrol vehicle? I have doubts.
  22. England's performance was mostly abysmal, despite their ability to barely secure a victory. Italy obtained a third attempt and earned a bonus point after 90 minutes, when at 89 minutes and 30 seconds, England had possession only 5 yards away from the Italian try line.
