A CLS500 will consistently make you regret not purchasing the CLS55K. The CLS500 will be equipped with AirMATIC as a standard feature, leading to comparable potential expenses as the CLS55K. Previous models of the CLS500, perhaps those produced following the facelift, may also be susceptible to the same SBC pump issues. However, you are only expected to do these tasks once throughout your ownership, if necessary. The operating expenses will be comparable, but the CLS55K offers much higher speed. For a 4-mile journey, I would prefer cycling or walking rather than using it. However, when you do need to use the CLS, it will provide enjoyment. By consistently maintaining a vehicle without accumulating mileage, its depreciation should be minimal or nonexistent. There is a limited but robust market for these specialised AMGs.

Would you want to have the trouble codes scanned?

My car consumed a high-end Exide battery in little over three years. The battery in my Jaguar had been installed for a duration of 5 years before I sold the vehicle.

Enhanced Flooded is a very recent technology. Volkswagen introduced the stop-start system in the Polo Formel E as early as 1984.

Consider opting for an Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) instead of an AGM battery. EFB batteries are more cost-effective and perform well when often doing short trips. AGM batteries outperform normal lead acid batteries, however they are not often suggested for continuous start-stop use.

Examine one of the battery terminals to see a date imprint.

Can you confirm? I am not aware of any diesel vehicles manufactured in 2007 that meet the ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) compliance standards. -
I would want to provide you with an update. Recently, I brought back the vehicle to the dealer and made a formal request for a reimbursement. They refused, citing their intention to resolve the problem and asserting their right to attempt to do so. Consequently, I abandoned the automobile while also providing a comprehensive list of further defects that I had identified. I reached out to them today since I had not received any communication. It seems that, unbeknownst to me, there is a second battery - Auxiliary, which supplies power to certain electrical components, and that battery had also malfunctioned. And was in the midst of getting replaced with a novel one. However, after much deliberation, apprehension, and extensive travel by both vehicle and rail, including overnight stays. I submitted a refund claim in accordance with the provisions of the 2015 Consumer Act. They have agreed to provide the refund, and I should expect to get it within the following 14 days, since it is their prerogative. I have no objection to it, and it is worth noting that they have been really helpful.

This is my understanding of the consumer act. In the case of a distance or online transaction when the automobile is delivered, there is a 14-day cooling off period during which the vehicle may be returned. If the purchase was made face-to-face, then it is my belief that the dealer does possess the authority to rectify the defect initially. However, it was not close to my location but very far away.

Last Tuesday, I acquired a 2015 7 series vehicle and transported it from Lancashire to Devon. It was not until I was almost home that I saw the clock was showing zero, despite having already set it and the date. Suspecting a possible incorrect setup, I proceeded to reset it. Furthermore, the clock automatically resets itself upon the deactivation of the ignition. After doing an investigation into the potential reasons, I discovered a common underlying factor that strongly suggests the primary battery as the probable culprit for the problem. After conversing with the auto dealer from whom I bought the vehicle, I made arrangements for a technician from the AA to inspect the battery today. Prior to doing a diagnostic check, the first discovery was that the positive connection was not securely fastened to the post. After tightening it, he performed a Diagnostic check that revealed many issues in the battery, indicating the need for replacement. He installed a brand new battery that was identical to the previous one and reprogrammed it using the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system. All functions operated correctly, thereby resulting in a state of contentment and satisfaction. However, when I returned to the vehicle shortly thereafter, I discovered that the clock had once again reset to zero and the Air Fragrance attachment had also been deactivated, despite my previous setting of level three. All other features, such as seat and radio memory, were functioning well. I have made many attempts to reset the clock, nevertheless the outcome remains same. I am feeling disheartened and considering the possibility of returning the automobile, given that I have had it for less than a week. Prior to proceeding, I kindly need input from members who possess extensive expertise to identify any other factors that may be contributing to the problem and provide potential solutions for its resolution. We appreciate your patience.

As previously mentioned, the automobile is a rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicle, which is often not included in the curriculum for beginner drivers and those who are new to driving. My spouse has a dislike for rear-wheel drive (RWD) and the 'sports suspension settings' of the BMW, hence we go for inexpensive hatchback cars for her, now a Kia Rio (please refrain from mocking!). She has a strong affection for it. Admittedly, it is excellent - a small but valuable object with ample capacity. It proves to be more practical than my 320cd coupe, especially when the seats are folded. However, its primary purpose is solely for my partner's daily commute and shopping, with the occasional monthly trip from Doncaster to Nottingham. For all other purposes, including my own commute, we rely on the BMW (along with a trailer!).

Did anybody see the confrontation between Mr. Bates and The Post Office?

Pardon me! My self-managed accounts consistently provide accurate results. However, I have no confidence in any other taxi driver whatsoever!
