  1. Fortunately, we were never required the additional 12-month warranty that came with our 2017 2.0l when we purchased it in 2023. "Problematic" is a strong word, but I'm willing to bet that this describes the outspoken minority who really do have issues. Never mind the silent majority who have experienced nothing but reliability; you never hear from us either.
  2. Totally off base, but I accidentally replugged the gearstick console the other day after taking it out. The choice of sport or comfort was impacted by that.
  3. Visually, I would assert that 16-inch wheels would be compatible with a 320 model, whereas RealOEM indicates that the 325 rotors measure 311mm in the front and 300mm in the rear. I remember that the 4-cylinder diesel engines were identical to the 6-cylinder petrol engines (specifically, my 325 donor brakes). There is a sufficient inch of clearance between the callipers and my 17-inch rims, allowing ample space for a 16-inch rim. The 330d M-Sport rotors measure 330mm and 336mm, compatible with a 17-inch rim, but not with a 16-inch rim.
  4. Indeed, the E92 320 is equipped with smaller brakes compared to the 330s that feature 19-inch wheels. I now have 17-inch rims paired with 325 brakes on the 1993 model, which is identical to the 1992 model in this aspect. I will verify later today and inform you if a 16" will be suitable.
  5. I become rather anxious in the absence of crack; you will be OK.
  6. I possess a service plan that will expire in February following my third service. I have enquired with the dealer regarding a fourth and fifth service plan with Emac and have received a quotation of £889, which includes two MOTs. Is this quote worth removing?
  7. It appears to be a problem with the starter motor. Fairly prevalent.
  8. Forego the PHEV variant; if your true desire is a plug-in hybrid, simply acquiesce and purchase a Lexus TX. I have owned my 2025 MHEV for 8 months and 8,000 miles without encountering any troubles thus far. It is a great vehicle, significantly superior to our 2019 CX-9 Signature, which we sold with 80,000 miles on it.
  9. Since it is a secondary or sporty weekend vehicle, choose for the SLK, as it is widely regarded as a quintessential sporty automobile. Mileage - aim to remain under 100,000, a psychological threshold. A vehicle with minimal ownership and a full service history, particularly through Mercedes-Benz or independent services, is preferred. Has been serviced punctually, possesses numerous receipts, and is, in my opinion, invaluable. The tires can frequently reveal crucial information; for instance, having all four tires of the same reputable brand is advisable. The owner will invest a modest sum in his/her vehicle. The general state is another Purchasing from a private seller generally provides greater insight into the vehicle's maintenance and may reveal a legitimate rationale for its selling. If desired, have the vehicle inspected upon purchasing privately. Best of luck
  10. Elevate the front of the vehicle on both sides and remove the wheels; this will alleviate the stress on the bar. Detach the clamps and extract the bushes (they are fractured, hence no more action is required regarding the bar). Install fresh bushes and evaluate the outcome. Best of luck...
  11. Replace the arb bushes, since they produce significant noise after they have dried and hardened. Does the banging cease while driving in rainy conditions?
  12. Greetings, friend - Did you fix this issue? I have been experiencing the same problem for an extended period. Replaced the auxiliary battery, but it had no effect. Inquiring if it is the primary battery. The Start/Stop feature is similarly nonfunctional.
