  1. Consider it as being priced at fifty percent of a contemporary Rolls-Royce Cullinan with same mileage. Alternatively, it serves as a contemporary method for providing bottles of Krug to those in need of refreshment.

  3. While estates are appealing, I found myself more drawn to one particular one over the weekend. Alluring, although the inside was absurd.
  4. Not technically "modified," certainly? I possess a hazy recollection of them being used as "Engineer's cars" by my IT company in the past. Not commercially successful, however constructed by the manufacturer rather than modified by entities such as Crayford? However, intriguing, very intriguing. And not foolish.
  5. Thank you. I believe you are accurate; however, I checked there, and it seems to be gone now. I am certain that I have overlooked something, since it seems to be an evident need.
  6. Thank you for the recommendations. Cleverco I attempted to increase the loudness during the announcements, but it proved ineffective. I tried it with the steering wheel, so I may try again with the primary volume control, in case it yields a different outcome. I recall a previous menu option that, when modified, emitted a message stating “guidance will be at THIS volume,” allowing for a selection of the optimal setting. It is odd that this has vanished. I discovered the option to reduce entertainment volume when the guide activates, although it remains lower than my preference. I value your contribution.
  7. I have just performed a software upgrade via a memory stick, and I am now operating on the August 24 version. I observed that the guideline announcements are at a diminished level compared to prior to the upgrade, nevertheless I cannot locate any method to modify the volume. Likewise, the camera alert is much quieter and is inaudible over the radio. I am certain that I previously adjusted both of these settings under the navigation options; but, after an exhaustive search, I am unable to locate any controls anymore. Has anybody else had the same issue and successfully resolved it?
  8. Thank you for the clarification. I was considering Nikwax, to be honest, but I was uncertain because it is a spray.
  9. Hello, are there any items available that can cause a soft top material to repel water? Thank you.
  10. I do not believe it obstructs the roof during closure; the locators are positioned in the seatbelt holders, and the pins are located within the range of motion.
  11. Greetings, everyone. I want to purchase a wind deflector for my 2010 A207 E-Class Cabriolet. I see many possibilities in the aftermarket priced between £150 and £400. Has anybody encountered purchasing the non-Mercedes alternatives? I will not using it often (England lacks sufficient sunshine), so minimising expenditure is preferable; nonetheless, I want to avoid purchasing an inferior product that rattles or does not fit properly. I would appreciate any input before I proceed. Thank you in advance.
  12. When do they arrive at 3mm left - 4mm? The compatibility may vary based on the pads; I have installed Akebono carbon ceramic pads on my C55 AMG, and the front pads provide two options for sensor insertion. One is definitely nearer to the disc than the other. Track or road, I presume.
  13. If the cap is loosened, it may indicate a defective thread on either the tank or the cap, as some aftermarket options do. If it fails to maintain pressure, the liquid will simply boil. The first stage of the cooling fan often fails, and sometimes both stages may fail. This malfunction results in increased system pressure and potential coolant backup. Certain systems may be constrained by silt accumulation, since individuals often neglect coolant replacements, leading to corrosion of the blocks and the deposition of debris at the system's lowest points.
  14. If the Haldex was not engaged, as it often is at low speeds in reverse, there would be no stress on the spline, thus eliminating any cause for slippage and noise. What is the rationale for replacing the Haldex and rear differential a second time if the first attempt did not resolve the issue? Consult with Bell Engineering, who has expertise on the Freelander/Evoque driveline.
  15. A spline connecting the gearbox and PTU may experience wear, resulting in a pounding noise under power, particularly at low speeds. It should also occur in forward gears; nevertheless, it may wear in such a manner that it slides in one direction but not the other.

    Your knowledge is impressive; it would be beneficial to meet you in person.

    190E chassis

    Any guidance or support would be much appreciated. Having never repaired a vehicle before, we feel rather out of our depth. Project involving a father, aged 58, and his son, aged 24.

    The bodywork of the 190e 2.3 16v is scheduled for welding, followed by a complete respray at a later date. We need outer sills, jacking points, and rear arches/quarters. It was proposed that we join the owners club and purchase from Mercedes, since membership may provide a substantial discount. Could experts please provide their counsel?
  20. Do automobile wheels possess sufficient strength?
  21. When the sump oil and TC oil combine, they create a ratio of around 60/40, maybe 70/30. Regarding fresh oil and old oil.
  22. It is believed that the friction materials present in the oil between the clutch plates contribute to the extension of driving power and prevent slippage in the clutches.Perhaps a significant distance measurement, but there is a specific rationale behind it.
  23. What substance do you anticipate them using to flush it? Typically, individuals just remove and replace the oil, along with installing a new filter. While some do torque converter oil changes, not all, including Mercedes-Benz. The price is favourable. 👍
