  1. It used to be a problem with pre-facelift procedures, but now it's completely fixable and backed by research. The initial concern primarily pertained to vehicles kept outdoors whose owners failed to take the necessary precautions, such as being alert for the reversible symptoms of water intrusion and clogged drains, and who foolishly believed they could carelessly open a damp trunk lid. The more pressing issue with the SL55 is the question of who drove the modest 500bhp vehicle—a little old lady on Sundays perhaps—or whether a dozen owners marvelled at its power while neglecting maintenance, "leaving little jobs to the next owner."
  2. Finding replacement components for the R230 shouldn't be too difficult. Lots of options for both new and used components
  3. I bought a Nissan X-Trail Tekna through them back in November in this story. Was a repo as well the car arrived in really nice condition to be fair They gave me 14 days to check it over so I took it down to the Nissan place near me in Nottingham. They went through it and couldn't find anything worth worrying about Rang the company the next day and told them I was keeping it That was my experience anyway
  4. Use caution. Unfortunately, one of our members just learned the hard way that not all Mercedes models are compatible with Schrader valves installed under the sensor. The sensor went flying out, followed by all the gas, and he felt a jolt as his fingers froze.
  5. The A35, I get it, but it sounds like an EV would be ideal for your needs. Whenever you are able to charge.

  7. The A35 was about £20 per week more than the entry-level A class, which is something I noticed the other day. So, something to think about if you're using a financial instrument. I thought it was possible to charge an electric vehicle at home. In that case, I'm leaning toward an electric vehicle; assuming a petrol A Class gets 35mpg at £1.79/liter, that works out to £165/month. Just £380 per month gets you a Mercedes electric vehicle. The larger Renault 5 EV, on the other hand, would cost you £220 per month plus £30 for charging, for a total of approximately £250 per month, as opposed to £550 per month for the Merc. A friend of mine just dropped £22,000 on a brand new, low-mileage 2023 BMW i4. I would definitely be in that if I had the means to do so. He claims that his range never drops below 30% and that he is plugged in again; I'm not sure what the equivalent Mercedes would be, but it has a 370-mile range. vehicle that was worth £62,000 when new but had 40,000 miles on the odometer was £22,000. So, the EQE, I suppose?
  8. For fun, I asked AI, and it said that there is a world of difference between Peugeot USB updates and over-the-air updates. By inserting a large replacement file into the USB, the map database is overwritten. OTA updates database map tiles automatically whenever there is a change. 'Map up-to-date / last updated {date}' should be displayed by the latter, while the former uses the version reference (xx.y.z-Rx) that I mentioned earlier. Find out from AI how you can view this data in the vehicle or on the MyPeugeot app. I would be surprised if you could receive over-the-air map updates from Peugeot unless you had a subscription to i-Connect or something similar. Considering the price, I wonder if it isn't time to think about utilising CarPlay or Auto with your preferred navigation app instead. Given the number of problems I've encountered with my Peugeot TomTom, it's obvious that the French manufacturer uses a stripped-down version of the TomTom system. For instance, Peugeot's decision to omit the TomTom EV-specific route planning and trip management features is both foolish and obnoxious. Probably only to keep their licence expenses down. Rather than utilising the built-in screen, they provide an independent, non-integrated EV route planner app that is, according to everyone, pretty useless.
  9. If Mcerlane Logistics says the car is "In secure storage and unfortunately nobody is allowed access" would have me closing the laptop pretty quickly If they're genuine and actually have possession of the vehicle, asking for a viewing shouldn't cause a drama
  10. The default positions are 120 and 122 degrees, so when it goes like this, the oil pressure won't move the vanos sprocket and trigger a locked-out camshaft. The usual range for diagnostics-related adaption and spread values is 55 and 150, respectively. There are a lot of ways in which solenoids might fail; I just had a setback with one that kept loudly knocking at 95 degrees; it turned out that the solenoid was defective—a cheap, crappy one, I think. Only Pierburg or authentic will do from now on.

  12. If the oil pressure is 55 psi, that's great. But how are you measuring it? Also, be careful with cheap gauges; they can be deceiving.
  13. I went dark and acquired an EV 😎.
