  1. I pay £330 for insuring my 640d with 3 years of no claims, and £300 for my e90 330d with 19 years of no claims, with my son's name included on the insurance. My son is 29 years old and there was an accident for which I was at blame. 28 months ago
  2. By what criteria are they discerning the autos that are eligible for coverage and those that are not? Could you provide a hyperlink to a source or citation? Thank you!
  3. The hue is striking, with a delicate but distinctive quality.
  4. Curiously, I have not attempted to use tar and adhesive removers since I doubted their efficacy. However, it is advisable to attempt it first before resorting to more challenging alternatives.
  5. The suggestion of using a clay bar is excellent. I have previously applied a clay bar to the surface, but I did not specifically target the places. Therefore, I am considering using the clay bar on one of the locations to assess its effectiveness. Greetings
  6. Thank you. I apologise for not mentioning in the original article that the substance in question seems to be white house paint or a similar one. It is quite unlikely that the substance causing the spots is automobile paint. However, removing these spots may require doing a complete detailing of the car. Ultimately, this is a beneficial procedure to undertake, especially when using appropriate equipment and waxes.
  7. Hello, I am seeking suggestions on how to effectively remove little blemishes of white paint on my vehicle. There are sporadic blemishes present throughout the paintwork, and I am uncertain of the cause previous to my purchase. I attempted to use a Dual Action (DA) polisher while using Meguires ultimate compound as a component of my procedure to eliminate swirl marks. However, this endeavour did not provide significant results.
  8. Assistance required. My hub is immobilised! Refuses to move. I adhered to all of your directions for removal. The four 4-17 mm bolts have been removed. Strike it with a sledgehammer, but there was no effect. I applied PB blaster on it, but it had no effect. I am experiencing a state of extreme mental distress and uncertainty on my future course of action. Suggestions for a novice? Thank you in advance. Rear wheel hub on a 2001 LS 430.
  9. I have acquired one of these devices and I must admit that I cannot find any flaws with it. However, I have not used it much at higher power levels. Undoubtedly, it loosens the wheel nuts. The Bamse Cordless Impact Wrench Brushless is a powerful impact gun with a 21V battery and a 1/2 inch size. It operates at a speed of 3100RPM and has a maximum torque of 550N.m. The wrench comes with a 4.0Ah battery, 4 impact sockets, 6 screwdriver bits, and 1 hex adapter, making it suitable for use in cars. Amazon.co.uk offers a wide range of DIY and tools products.
  10. I can only address issues related to the re-localization of privately imported automobiles that were originally constructed and configured for the North American market, where there are differences in speedometers, daytime running lights (DRLs), rear turn signal colours, navigation systems, and other features compared to Europe. Manufacturers often aim to reduce the amount of hardware variations wherever feasible and instead depend on configuration choices that are concealed inside the software. The Xentry diagnostic system conceals these parameters from regular usage. Access to these parameters is contingent upon Mercedes' benevolence. To access them, one must input menu item passwords and possess precise knowledge of the specific bits and/or bytes that need to be modified inside the firmware registers. An issue that may cause discomfort is the potential for unintentional overwriting of modifications made during a firmware update. According to the most recent information I have, the Xentry system establishes a connection with MB and thereafter prompts the user to provide their account credentials in order to access the maintenance menus. Upon connection to the automobile, it does a check for firmware revisions and any upgrades. My recommendation: Reach out to an authorised dealer/workshop and politely inquire if they can provide any help. I cannot definitively ascertain if it is feasible to recode your vehicle.
  11. I had not considered that aspect, but indeed, it is logical to include measures to avoid unintended access.
  12. It seems that I have been encountering difficulty since I have been doing the task with the automobile in a locked state, but it should be opened. Thank you, I will try it soon.
  13. Greetings to everybody, Since the very beginning, I have found the boot release button on my E90 to be perplexing. I have seen that it works intermittently, however just by inadvertent occurrences when fumbling for my keys. Therefore, I am unable to provide a definitive explanation of the method used. Depressing a single key has no effect. The alarm was triggered by many activations or maybe by continuously pressing it down. In any case, the boot fails to open. I have tested both key fobs, therefore confirming that none of them is defective. Although I have never been very troubled by it, I am now interested in acquiring a pair of Emerald Struts and using its functionality. Thank you in advance
  14. After the software upgrade, I had the same problem, and a few weeks later, the engine management light turned on. Upon bringing it to the dealership, they have informed me that the swirl flaps and seals need replacement, and this issue is unrelated to the EGR Cooler recall. This statement is very inaccurate and unsubstantiated. As previously explained, the accumulation of soot in the Manifold intake is a direct consequence of a design flaw. Have you made any progress in your dealings with the dealer? Sincerely
