  1. Asbestos has been prohibited in Australia since 2003; thus, it cannot be the cause.
  2. That seems and resonates as magnificent. What a delightful and enjoyable memory for all of you. Premier position.
  3. I am involved with Ant, indeed, I have changed allegiances. I will ascertain the real reference of the display; nonetheless, it remains possible that it may be accurate.
  4. I have replaced both nearside wheels on the SLK. I assume that the TPMS will report on their previous wheel placement? Is it possible to reset and return them to their proper 'side' using iCarsoft, or is this a task for Xentry/STAR? Alternatively, do they reset automatically, allowing the vehicle to recognize the new locations independently? I will operate the vehicle and use the iCarsoft when I get the opportunity tomorrow, but I am curious if anybody has knowledge or experience with this. I needed to get the NSF refinished on the diamond-cut rim of the black AMG wheel due to my own error. The individual said that both the front and rear near-side wheels had been serviced once or twice before and had no remaining lip. Anticipating the likelihood of requiring further attention, I compensated my regular tire fitters to replace them.
  5. Contemplation. That seemed to evoke the sentiment, "If it seems too good to be true..."
  6. Thank you, RosaStyle. However, they are distinct belts? Both systems operate from the harmonic balancer pulley, hence I fail to get how the AC load may affect the serpentine belt and power steering. I just can not comprehend it. Does the AC belt need the serpentine belt for operation?
  7. Greetings to everybody. I have a loss of power steering accompanied by a battery warning light when I turn the steering wheel. My brother inspected the engine compartment and saw the serpentine belt come to a standstill, so preventing the alternator from charging temporarily. I think the steering pump or a loose belt. I shall assess the stress today. The confusion arises from the fact that the problem significantly exacerbates and occurs instantaneously when I use the air conditioning. Both seem to own distinct belts, which is rather peculiar! The problem alleviates after the vehicle has been driven for a short duration, occurring mostly while executing a hard left or right turn, and is significantly exacerbated with the air conditioning on. Additionally, after deactivating the air conditioning, I saw an increase in miles per gallon by 4 mpg. Do you have any suggestions?
  8. I believe the longstanding recommendation of studying your selected model/specification and then evaluating the dealer's pricing remains unchanged. Your budget may be at the lower end of the price range, necessitating a reassessment of expectations or a delay until prices decrease and/or your budget expands. Nonetheless, since the lockout and the worldwide parts scarcity, the margin may have diminished; nonetheless, there is some flexibility if one is willing to exercise patience and withdraw if the pricing or package offer does not meet expectations.
  9. I need to schedule an oil and filter change for my autos either every 7,000 km or every 12 months. Currently, I own three automobiles. Unfortunately, the one valued at 7,000 currency units is absent. Consequently, I plan to spend a duration of 12 months doing maintenance on one of my vehicles while it undergoes a Ministry of Transport examination. It is worth noting that my acquaintance, who goes by the name of "m8," is the proprietor of the automotive repair establishment. During this time, I will take a short break while the oil is being drained from the vehicle.
  10. I am also curious to know whether anybody has performed the installation independently or if it is preferable to hire a professional. What are your opinions about that?
  11. Additionally, with the M4 Merino leather, the armrest is made of genuine leather, eliminating any possibility of damage. However, I still place a big micro towel folded in half on it, which also serves as an additional cushion.A suggestion for today: consider attaching a headrest cushion to the armrest. This idea might perhaps be pitched on the television show "Dragons' Den".
  12. The material used in the car seats is not genuine leather, but rather bonded leather. Excessive pressure on the armrest can cause damage to it. Personally, I always place a microfiber towel on the armrest of my cars to protect it. For instance, during the summer, I always have sunscreen on, and my leather seats, which are almost white in colour, are prone to damage. I also experienced this issue in my 640d car, which had red vermillion rot leather seats. The dashboard, although made of leather, is also bonded and not of the same quality as the seats, which are made of analine nappa leather.My M4 is an upgrade and is made of merino, which closely resembles genuine leather.Furthermore, your chairs seem to be securely attached on the sides, using high-quality Dakota leather.That is to say, it is neither genuine or authentic.
  13. Low-quality leather is now inexpensive, although low-specification automobiles were made to a higher standard when yours was manufactured.
  14. While I cannot provide a definitive response, it is quite likely that there would be a disparity in gearbox between a vehicle powered by a diesel engine and one powered by a petrol engine. The first option has a much narrower range of revolutions compared to the second option, along with a distinct torque curve. I anticipate that a vehicle equipped with a diesel engine will maintain the lower ratios for a longer duration when ascending, and hence, I would not be astonished if it shifts to lower gears earlier while descending. However, it is hoped that you will get feedback from those who own diesel vehicles.
  15. That is an impressive scooter.
