  1. Fortunately, it is functioning well, so it is not the end of the world. However, a replacement component has been ordered, but there is a 7-week wait for the repair.
  2. Hello everyone, I'm curious if anybody has had any difficulties with the switch used to engage the handbrake on a new sportage vehicle? When I stopped at Tesco to refuel, I saw that the handbrake would not engage when I pulled back on the button next to the steering wheel. I called the dealer, but they informed me that the earliest appointment available is in the middle of July. Once again, similar to the previous issue with the ppf filter, it seems that there is another problem with these automobiles. Depending on the nature of the issue, it might need several hours of work, as I was informed.The handbrake fails to activate.
  3. The most probable cause is a defective rear SAM unit. The flashing signs are likely correlated, but it is possible that there is a malfunctioning alarm siren.
  4. The brake screech is quite loud. You should absolutely mention it again.
  5. I would want the 'R8' engraving on the cap to be painted in the same gold colour as my wheels, even if the cap itself is black.
  6. I would delegate all of those tasks to the store. My primary question is if disassembling and reassembling the plastic housing of the gas cap might potentially result in any complications with achieving a precise fit upon reassembly. I really like the gas cap to be securely fastened and aligned without any irregularities or variations in spacing.
  7. Hello everyone, I am considering changing the colour of the gas cap on my 2022 Spyder. I am seeking guidance on the most effective approach to take. Is it suitable for powder coating without any safety concerns? Alternatively, is it more advantageous to wrap it? I choose not to wrap because I value the durability of paint/powder coating much more. Thank you
  8. The glass is composed of many layers bonded together, rather than being strengthened by a process of controlled heating and rapid cooling.
  9. I much appreciate your response. That is fantastic. May I ask for clarification on the meaning of the acronym ECP?
  10. I own a 2007 E63 AMG Estate. Regrettably, there is a significant fracture on the front offside/right driver's door glass. Both my insurance company and I have been unable in finding the glass from Mercedes, as well as from big glass fitters such as Autoglass, National Glass, and others, as well as eBay and many breaker's yards. I located a breaker in Manchester who had an E63 available. However, upon their retrieval of the glass, it was discovered that it had been shattered. I am now contacting glass producers in order to see whether they would be willing to produce a single item just for me. However, I am aware that the likelihood of this happening is quite low. I fail to identify any justification as to why the glass for a 2007 Mercedes E Class Estate would not be compatible. However, although several individuals, such as a Mercedes expert, concur with my viewpoint, others, specifically the Mercedes components department, assert that they are really distinct. For instance, the glass for my vehicle has the component number MA211 720 02 20 and is priced at £335 plus VAT. On the other hand, the glass for an E320 CDI has the part number MA211 725 04 10 and costs £102 plus VAT. The glass of the E320 vehicle has a blue tint, whereas the glass of my automobile possesses a subtle grey tint. Is this Mercedes just imitating AMG owners or are the spectacles really distinct? Does anybody own any expertise on the compatibility of several front door glass alternatives for the W211 model? I am considering purchasing a used glass from eBay to test its compatibility, even though this may result in paying many times for fitting. I believe my insurance provider will only cover the cost of one replacement.
  11. During high school, male individuals would often throw bleach over the tyres of vehicles and then proceed to drive at high speeds. However, no one was driving an all-wheel drive supercar at that time.
  12. Last year, I purchased the most recent maps from this individual. He seemed to be sincere and was quite supportive. The cost of the SD card itself is not the pricey component; rather, it is the licence required to use it, both of which he provides. It is simple to load. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334331639394
  13. Excellent... I want to using that product in the future. 👍
  14. During the winter, I took off all the wheels and saw that a significant number of the Torx bolts securing the liners were showing signs of corrosion. I have disassembled all of the bolts. The pair had to be extracted using a drilling technique, followed by a thorough cleaning of the affected area. Additionally, some components were treated with silicone grease. The accumulation of leaves between the front liner and the vehicle body on my Gen 1 was rather remarkable. I thoroughly cleaned, painted, or replaced all the torx bolts and gained a wealth of knowledge about the automobile, which was quite pleasant. An additional benefit is that you may subsequently refine the braking discs that encircle the hubs. **** I always use two trolley jacks while removing the wheels, whether from the front or back. Additionally, I always position one jack on the central jacking point, using the VW tubular rubber pad adapter. It provides both insurance and a sense of security. I have discovered that Jack stands are too elevated for raising one side, resulting in instability of the jacks and the automobile. By using two jacks, the pressure is evenly distributed, and you only need to elevate the vehicle to a sufficient height to lift the wheels off the ground.
  15. I predict little weight reduction.
  16. I have received both Mann and Hengst filters that were labelled as genuine MB filters, with MB part numbers on them. Therefore, I am willing to utilise any of those filters. I have also used Mahle products and have been satisfied with their performance. However, I am uncertain whether Mahle has ever been an original equipment provider to Mercedes-Benz.
  17. If you are in Essex, Auto Lock may be able to refurbish your key. They have locations in Wickford and Great Dunmow.
  18. Inspect the fan relay for any stickiness.
  19. The prices of second-hand cars, particularly high-performance ones like the M3/4 F series, have seen a decline of almost £3,000 on average since last year. I began searching for a vehicle around the end of Christmas last year and made the purchase in late March. I continue to monitor the market on a daily basis.
  20. Although they possess wonderful qualities, they are too costly.Porsche, Ferrari, and territory
  21. Alternatively, you may choose to wait for a period of three years and get the touring at a discounted price of fifty percent. It is very astonishing to contemplate the exorbitant expense associated with these tourings.
  22. It seems that there may be a problem with the diesel particulate filter (DPF), where diesel fuel is mixing with the engine oil. This is likely caused by failed regeneration processes, which are leading to an uncontrolled increase in engine speed.
