  1. Pleasure to hear that, Forsh. Go through the pain. While my son's 92 lacks bluetooth, my 93 does. It might just be me, but reversing with dark windows and tiny mirrors is really blinding, especially at night. I didn't apply the tint because it was far too dark. Maybe I'll give in to the annoyance of setting up a reverse camera.
  2. As I consider my options, my wife says I should just accept the error numbers and go on. My problem is that there are a lot of cost and comparison options, and the car is worth fifteen thousand dollars. It is my intention to equip two 2010 LCI vehicles equipped with cic head units with wireless, hands-free technology and a rearview camera. The MMI from BimmerTech costs 774US ($1085.85AU) and that includes the LCI upgrade, which adds 200US dollars (280AU) for a camera. 12-month guarantee with +, +, and price-escalating options. Based on the rest of the site, it will be an upgrade, however I'm not sure if shipping is included. This is undeniably a high-quality device, but the fact that it is American-made gives it a certain sting. No mention of camera functionality, 12 months warranty, and Mr12V costs 449 US (629 Aus). It seems to be a reliable mid-range device assuming it can handle a camera. No shipping costs. Realism is increasing in the United States. The AliExpress 191US (269au) with a built-in camera has finally touched down. With a 6-month guarantee. Compared to eBay, AliExpress has better customer service and a 75% success rate. Performs all of the functions that the +++ MMI is said to perform. So seeking for user comments on any.
  3. Parts that were altered began in July of 2010. Thankfully, my 1.5-liter diesel engine, which was manufactured in March of 2010 and never equipped with a DPF, began to get one installed in July. At least for notes manufactured in Europe, this might be relevant to other Note variants starting in July 2010. I have the floorboards, the storage tray for the passenger's belongings under the seat and the spare tyre and wheel; later models had the goop that was sprayed into a ruptured tyre.
  4. I'll admit it: this is the main reason franchises hurt manufacturers. Everything was done at the same garage, who flat-out denied any involvement. The documentation from a prior owner, nevertheless, was located by me.Which Kia dealership was that garage?
  5. Is it possible that certain establishments specialising in radiator repair or recoring could address this issue? Serck is a prominent brand; however, with air conditioning now being significantly more prevalent, there may be specialised technicians for A/C components, as well as organisations that focus on refrigeration equipment. Given that you have already purchased an LHD evaporator, I am curious if a radiator repair technician could merely reposition the ports to face the opposite direction, employing brazing or welding as necessary. Have you investigated if any UK dealers own new-old-stock items available on their shelves? Several years ago, I sought a water pump for a 190E shortly before Christmas. M-B Glasgow did not have it in stock and would require an order with no assurance of timely delivery. However, the partsman accessed his computer and informed me that Glen Henderson in Ayr, not affiliated with the same group, had one available. This suggests that dealers possess a method to search UK inventory for specific items.
  6. Have you consulted Karl Burgess from w140.co.uk or r129.co.uk? He is a specialist dismantler of R129 and W140 vehicles and may be disassembling a donor vehicle. I presume that W140 saloons should utilise the same component. Additionally, it is advisable to explore eBay for individuals dismantling a W140 sedan.
  7. I removed the 10mm nut from the terminal clamp, reattached the connection, and then replaced the nut.
  8. I have linked mine to the battery and have never had any issues. For eight years, I have connected the CTEK charger to one of my automobiles once a month during the weekend.
  9. Thank you for all the responses. I was also astonished that the engine could be so simply damaged. I was apprehensive about doing it, but I will ascertain the source of the noise. I may get a lift and remove the sump, since I have nothing to lose. It is possible that the sump has deformed, causing an object to make contact with it. I would have expected the garage to discern the source of the noise. This is its appearance:
  10. Greetings to everyone, I own a 2010 W204 250 CDI (OM651) equipped with a plastic oil sump. I recently had an oil leak from the sump gasket, therefore I attempted to tighten the sump nuts; however, I did not use a torque wrench, likely resulting in overtightening. Following the tightening, the leak ceased; nevertheless, the engine now produces a pronounced knocking or ticking noise that accelerates with the rpm. The oil level is enough; nevertheless, I am concerned that I may have compressed the gasket, perhaps causing fragments to dislodge and obstruct the oil collection. Perhaps the sump is distorted or improperly positioned? Alternatively, it may be a coincidence that the engine failed simultaneously. The garage I visited reported that a component had detached and penetrated the engine. The engine is likely irreparably damaged and requires replacement. I had only drove it a short distance, about two minutes to the garage. It is necessary to elevate the engine in order to extract the sump, hence I am uncertain about the appropriate course of action. Ought I to relinquish my efforts? Alternatively, get a lift and attempt to replace the sump and gasket.
  11. I have reviewed my list, and it is not present. Is your car a diesel, similar to mine? The screenshot may have originated from the application utilised on a fuel, albeit I am uncertain.
  12. As already said. The list is extensive, but the information will be included. I was searching for something the other day, and it took me a considerable amount of time; dyslexia does not assist me, unfortunately.
  13. It is remarkable to observe such a varied assortment of petrol and diesel engines present. Every individual possesses distinct preferences, which contributes to the vibrancy of the automotive community.
