Doesn't your insurance policy include coverage for your windscreen?

Is it worth contacting this firm that applies chrome onto plastic parts? http://www.chromespray.co.uk/

I did not participate in the Scouts, but I was a member of the Air Training Corps (ATC) for a few years throughout my early teenage years. This occurred in the late 1980s. We had an exceptional Warrant Officer who served as a reserve in the special forces. Two memorable items include CS gas training in a decommissioned fuselage part located near our Hut at the former British Aerospace site at Brooklands. During the summer, he instructed us to do a cross-country run first, since CS is reactive to moisture. He was really considerate in that manner. We also engaged in hand-to-hand fighting training to defend against a knife-wielding assailant. The attacker opted to employ a bayonet due to deeming it unnecessary to learn how to fight against an opponent with a stick. Great experiences and valuable knowledge gained. In 1987, I participated in the Nijmegen marches with the Air Training Corps as a member of the British Military Contingent. Despite being one year below the minimum age requirement (at 15 years old). They modified my 3822 identification card, but there is no need to worry. I have completed five of these tasks since it was a remarkable experience. It is difficult to fathom somebody nowadays tampering with an ID card, which is regrettable in several aspects.

I discovered that stepping to the side and kicking vigorously beneath the right or left rear portion reliably triggers it for me. If done correctly, you will likely end up kicking the automobile.

I am very grateful that you took the time to respond to my inquiries. I appreciate it much. The vehicle mechanic used Mobil1 5-30 oil, then I added more Mobil1 5-30 oil. Is this the correct oil? Thank you very much

I do not have the Owner's Manual. Is there a website where I can get it? I searched on Google, but the results were for non-European models.

Thank you for your response. I added 0.5 litres of oil to my car's 5.3L engine to verify whether more was required, and now the display indicates "Engine oil level ok." Thank you
-
Thank you for responding. I will add 0.5 litres and adjust as necessary. Thank you for your responses once again.

Should I put 0.5 litres or 1 litre?

While inspecting the oil level of my W203 2005 diesel 2.2, I saw that when the engine was heated at 90°C and switched off for 5 minutes, it indicated to add 1.5L. However, in the morning when the engine was cold, it showed that the engine oil level was okay. 1: When should the oil level be checked? 2: Should oil be added to the engine? The car has travelled 99,000 km and still maintains an average fuel consumption of roughly 55 units without emitting any smoke. Thank you

The new M5 is rather appealing at the moment.

The interior trim level is referred to as "Sport trim with silk beige leather and ash wood interior" in the emails I have received, however I am uncertain whether this is the official designation.

I must express my profound disappointment at hearing this news. The vehicle is being sold by an authorised dealer and so has a 1-year guarantee, however its practical value may be uncertain. Is it advisable for me to request a star diagnostic and replace the battery if it is showing signs of poor health, or are the batteries of such low quality that it is best to avoid them altogether? I had anticipated that the battery would be in excellent condition due to its low mileage of 10,000, yet uncertainties remain.

Oh no! Is the C300H of poor quality?

I am scheduled to finalise the papers and get a 2017 C300H Sport (estate) this next weekend. The item is in excellent shape and has very low mileage, at 10,000 km. The vehicle is equipped with the Premium Plus pack, as well as many additional optional packs including memory, comfort, mirror, and stowage. I am quite enthusiastic about it, although I have never had a hybrid vehicle (or a Mercedes, for that matter). The improvement from my old Ford Kuga will be substantial, and I hope it will also provide significant cost savings. Are there any specific factors or potential problems that I should be cautious about before making a binding commitment? Any prevalent flaws or idiosyncrasies that I should be mindful of?

I can verify that the cigarette lighter socket is deactivated when the ignition is turned off. To use the car's charger, you must establish a connection either via the OBD port or by directly connecting it to the Battery. The solar charger I own is equipped with an OBD port connection.

As the proverbial saying goes, "A Mercedes car cannot be obtained at a low cost". May you and your loved ones have a delightful and enjoyable holiday season.

In my CLK, I have installed a Pioneer Avic-920. The installation process was somewhat complex, requiring the removal of the headliner, back seats, and trim panels in order to properly route the wires for DAB GPS AM/FM and rear camera. Nevertheless, the effort to get reliable DAB and GPS signals proved to be well worthwhile. I often engage in work activities in downtown London and have little disruptions in GPS signal. Additionally, the door speakers have been replaced and synchronised with the head unit.

After installing a new interior, it is possible to discover water damage in electronics or wire harnesses. Additionally, there may be an unpleasant lingering fire smell on warm days. Moreover, if the interior is saturated, there is a potential danger of mould and corrosion occurring under the carpet. I believed that fire damage referred to the previous Cat B classification, which thus rendered the vehicle ineligible for road use. If you are interested in disposing of it, you may consider repurchasing it with the intention of dismantling it, or exploring the possibility of selling it to a Mercedes breaker. However, it is not advisable to invest a significant amount of money in purchasing a new interior. Apologies for the unfortunate circumstances.

Consider that all vehicles are equipped with an air cap located on the top of the windshield, however some have a manual control while others have an automated control that adjusts based on the vehicle's speed. No, an additional air deflector is not necessary since the built-in one located behind the rear seats functions well. However, I do own an extra deflector to provide piece of mind while traveling at high speeds on the autobahns, as it prevents anything on the back seats from becoming airborne.
