  1. The automobile had initially sagged on both sides, so I scheduled an appointment. Prior to the appointment, the car had elevated and appeared satisfactory, yet was taken to the garage nonetheless. They found no faults, so I proceeded on my way. A few days later, the car experienced another breakdown, necessitating flatbed transport to the mechanic for inspection of the sagging issue. The assessment indicated that the compressor required replacement. The adjustment was completed, and upon retrieving the vehicle, the height was satisfactory.After travelling 5 miles, the chassis warning illuminated, prompting me to exit the vehicle for inspection. That is when I observed it had ascended significantly on the passenger side. The car has been parked since then and remains at that elevation. Prior to my purchase, new airbags were installed on both sides four months ago.
  2. Did the garage fail to identify any more issues during the initial inspection of the vehicle?
  3. Hello, I experienced sagging on both rear corners and took the vehicle to the mechanic. A new compressor was installed. Travelled 5 miles after retrieving the vehicle, at which point the chassis warning indicator activated. Exited the vehicle, observing that the passenger side's left rear and front are significantly elevated, while the driver's side front and rear are notably lowered. What actions has the garage failed to do to precipitate this situation?The garage has been closed for the past three days, so I will return tomorrow. Thank you
  4. Argument for being odometer tampered with or installing a mileage blocker; indeed, I will forgo it.
  5. I am not acquainted with this brand, nevertheless, I embrace the competition. I have contemplated substituting the PS4S on my Gen2 with the Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02. The Conti's have a price advantage of around $500, which is appealing. Currently, the Vredesteins are not visible on Tyre Rack. However, I am curious about their pricing.
  6. Were the wheels included as part of the original factory configuration of the automobile, or were they added as an aftermarket accessory? Are these tyre sizes the same as the original ones?
  7. I concur. While these technologies may seem impressive during the salesman's demonstration, it is worth considering if they are really necessary in practical use. It is possible that it is the lesser specification. Do you have an estimate of the potential discount I may get as a cash buyer without a trade-in?
  8. Greetings, I am interested in purchasing a Sportage with a 22 or 23 plate, however I am unsure about the specification to choose. I have test driven a Spec 4 model, which comes with several desirable features, however it is somewhat more costly compared to a Spec 3 model of a comparable age. I have disregarded the s variants since they often cost above Β£40k when new, which incurs additional road tax. I have also chosen to choose the hybrid option instead of the MHEV. However, it is not a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The GT line lacks the inclusion of two 12-inch information displays. I want to purchase the item labelled as 4, but, I am sceptical that I will be able to get a satisfactory discount from the salesman to persuade me to make the purchase. Do you have any recommendations?
  9. I understand that the Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) guarantee becomes effective after the original manufacturer warranty, which lasts for 4 years or 50,000 miles, has expired. If you reach the milestone of 50,000 kilometres prior to the completion of the 4-year period, how does Mercedes ascertain this information? How is the commencement date of the CPO warranty and the expiration date of the manufacturer warranty determined? How would they be aware of my reaching 50,000 miles without my notifying them?
  10. Wasn't it enjoyable? Laughing out loud πŸ˜† I have purchased a Matte CF product and I am now considering selling it in order to switch to a gloss finish.
  11. The trim was simply detached from the vent, allowing me to replace them without having to remove the whole unit. The trim around the cluster... that's a whole other matter πŸ˜†
  12. After doing a brief search, no results were discovered. How can I extract it? I acquired a CF card by means of swapping. Upon examining the new one, I see the tabs that secure it in place. However, I am uncertain about the method to access those tabs once it is installed in the dashboard. πŸ€” Enjoyment of the interior aesthetics πŸ˜†
  13. When I wear out the subpar Flintstone run flats, the 19's on my 3 Series are undoubtedly worn out. If possible, I would go for 17's; however, they are not compatible with the front callipers, thereby necessitating the use of 18's on appropriate tyres.
  14. Indeed, the gas cap cover was present. The splitter fractured at its mounting brackets.
  15. Metal filings are often seen due to the interaction between metal surfaces, resulting in the formation of metal filings. 1. The interlocking of the syncros and speed gears. 2. The clutch plate material derived from the LSD. I concur with the recommendation to replenish your fluid every 3 years or every 30,000 miles, and to make annual adjustments to the shift linkages to accommodate cable elongation. HCF Autosport is renowned for its extensive expertise in doing Graziano gearbox rebuilds.
  16. Please note that the engine in question is the M103, which is similar to yours with the addition of 2 additional pots.
  17. The process of removing it may provide challenges for those without a mechanical mindset.It is important to note that the bolts used to remove the pump may vary in size. To document the step-by-step removal process, I used a camera. Please refer to the manual for information about the m103, which will provide you with some insight. M103 Cooling System Form your own opinion after you have read the instructions.I would hire a garage to do the task.I believe they would like to include a refurbished device or a high-quality second-hand item. Kindly come back if I can provide more assistance.
  18. Prioritise identifying the accurate component number for your pump before relying only on Ahtodoc's recommendation. Enter your vehicle identification number here and locate the appropriate pump for which you want components. Subsequently, verify the numbers. Autodoc offers Mercedes EPC Online, which may be accessed at nemigaparts.com.

    R8

    Up to Β£45,000. Which is superior, a V8 or a V10 engine? What is the expected fuel efficiency (in miles per gallon) of these motors? Are there any recognised dangers that should be avoided? Keep in mind that I have little knowledge of a R8 and may be easily misled.

    R8

    Greetings, everybody. I am considering purchasing a pre-owned R8. What distinguishes years from models? What are the disadvantages or drawbacks of purchasing a used R8?
