  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. In the absence of an airing cupboard Place the item inside a shoe box and create an opening at one end of the box to accommodate a hair blow dryer. Activate the dryer to expedite the drying process for a wide range of objects.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. The MB bolts with reference number A0009905407 are corrosion-resistant and need less effort to maintain cleanliness. MB BOLT
  10. The automatic subtitles are unable to comprehend it.🤣
  11. What issue is arising that leads them to advocate the necessity for a manifold? It is quite improbable that this occurrence is just coincidental, especially considering the recent recall to inspect the manifold. If the dealer is not providing assistance, it may be advisable to file a complaint with BMW UK.
