  1. What is the problem? At the age of 10, it seems rather optimistic to assume that MB will be inclined to pay.
  2. My little 1.4 TDCI Ford Fiesta has this strange place in my heart, and you can call me a mug if you want. No matter how much I try, the engine will never stop giving me the willies. It briefly entered limp mode yesterday and is now hesitant to load. Thirty miles later, after restarting the car, I made it home, but the underlying hesitation in acceleration remained. Just what is it? Additionally, I need a specific component—a bolt located on the underside of the rocket cover/air induction unit. Despite being the eighth owner, I've only ever used one of the two 8mm socket bolts that are on the back of this.
  3. Is the climate control or air conditioning operated manually?
  4. Yes, you should inspect the terminal clamps for powdery rust by removing them from the terminals after loosening them. Use a wire brush to clean as necessary. Grease the connections and secure the clamps. Whatever works, thank you. If it doesn't work, you'll need to inspect the several ground/earth connections. Make sure there is no corrosion or looseness. If everything checks out, it may serve as the launch pad. If it's the starter, there's little need in spending time on the other tasks; they're part of routine maintenance nonetheless.
  5. Consider replacing your expansion tank cap. My partner's B48 engine Mini and my previous 520d both experienced unexplained coolant loss, which was rectified by replacing the coolant cap. Although our rate of loss was significantly lower than yours, this may not be the issue unless your caps or seals are severely compromised.
  6. I consistently anticipate with trepidation the phone call informing me that it is ready. You believe this call may be the costliest I receive this year.
  7. Are you utilising the vehicle's system for the MPG figures or employing traditional calculations? Do you possess a scanner capable of reading live data? Understanding the fuel trims, for instance, could be advantageous. In addition to the fuel efficiency, how does it perform in terms of operation and handling? What is the mileage, and are you aware of the maintenance history of the vehicle? I assume the Check Engine Light is off, signifying that no diagnostic codes are present?
  8. Fabsil is also excellent for this purpose.
  9. What is the required frequency for this task? To meet the requirements set by MB, the gearbox and differential oils must be changed at the current mileage or age of the vehicle. I assume the £800 expense is attributed to MB (included in your plan costs?). The first execution incurred costs that were borne by the independent entity and included in the vehicle's purchase price.
  10. Inspect the rear screen region and the whole parcel shelf underneath, since deteriorating rear screen seals may allow water intrusion, leading to rust on the shelf and maybe damaging the rear screen structure if fortunate. Remove the plastic liners from the rear wells inside the boot. Internal panels around the battery compartment
  11. Based on its appearance, the car you are referring to seems to be a first-generation Mini with the Tritec engine, which is considered to be of high quality. The components might potentially consist of: Timing chain guide. The timing chain cover has integrated webbing designed to secure the chain onto the bottom sprocket. The chain became detached when it became slack. What is the issue with the washer? This automobile previously had a malfunctioning chain. If the current situation is satisfactory, then you should be in a state of being acceptable or satisfactory. If not, at least in the UK, there is a large number of first-generation Minis being dismantled, making it inexpensive and simple to get a new engine.
  12. Apologies, I should have reviewed the earlier discussions.
