  1. The CL203 is prone to a well-documented wireless malfunction, specifically related to water entering the amplifier/receiver located in the boot. Regrettably, it is connected to the back screen and necessitates the installation of a new screen:Oops: Currently, there are establishments that can remove the amplifier without replacing the glass, but this service is expensive regardless of the method chosen. The power depletion may also be correlated with it. Despite the low mileage of your automobile, it is within the spectrum of vehicles affected by balancer shaft troubles, which will significantly reduce its potential value in a private sale. In my opinion, I would list it on eBay as a classified advertisement for Β£995, without any room for negotiation, emphasising its sporting characteristics. The car's 200 horsepower is rather impressive. Additionally, it is compliant with the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) requirements. Alternatively, if you choose not to pursue that option, I would recommend seeking out a specialised Mercedes dismantler and negotiating a price higher than the standard scrap value for your vehicle. Attempting to get anything farther will just result in unnecessary aggression.
  2. Perhaps the 255th day of the year 2019? I am curious whether it was a Friday! Incorrect, it occurred on a Thursday. (It is astonishing what one can get from the internet!)
  3. The production of Disco 2s ceased in 2004. It is uncertain if they will resume production in 2019.
  4. As said before!That is a phrase I often encounter.Obtain a code!
  5. Is the vehicle powered by diesel, petrol or a hybrid engine? Does it have a manual gearbox or a dual-clutch gearbox (DCT)? From where did you purchase the automobile?
  6. It is possible that you have unintentionally reduced the brightness of the display. Once, I encountered a vehicle with a somewhat dark display after purchasing it second-hand. However, I realised that the brightness could be increased by simply twisting the little black mileage reset stalk, which was rather unexpected. Is it worth considering at the very least?
  7. Thank you for the replies- I previously had a Discovery Sport, which unfortunately stopped working. It had a one push feature that was always reliable, so I wanted to recreate it for convenience and familiarity. If anybody has completed this task, I would very appreciate hearing about your own experience.
  8. Greetings, everyone. I own a 2020 X3, my first BMW, and it seems that the only method to operate the tailboard using the key buttons is by continuously pressing and holding the button. Is there a method to reprogram that feature to enable a single push instead of requiring a continuous hold? I have familiarised myself with the application BimmerCode and similar options, but I am curious whether there exists a more straightforward solution? Thank you everyone, I am pleased to be here!
  9. A few years back, I had the rear subframe assembly of my automobile thoroughly examined. The response I received was that it was in impeccable condition. However, despite this assurance, the subframe ultimately malfunctioned, resulting in the car being deemed irreparable and declared a total loss.From my comprehension, it seems that the rear subframes undergo internal corrosion.
  10. I own a 2015 V8 vehicle with a gated manual gearbox, which is one of just 56 V8 vehicles with manual gearbox produced that year. For the above reasons, I would choose the 2015 model over the 2008 model. Advantages: The presence of a face lift and complete LED headlights. Upgraded rear lights. Adding those components alone would incur a cost of $15,000 if you want the appearance of a facelift. Replace the twin exhaust tips on each side with a single exhaust tip. Additional reinforcement and bracing have been added to the front end. Additionally, there is the option of obtaining a fidelity warranty. I was considering other properties with gated access, all from the year 2009, priced at $75,000 on average, and with an average mileage of roughly 35,000. However, I came across the one I ultimately purchased, which was listed for $89,000. The vehicle had just one owner and had been driven for a total of 11,000 kilometres. The decision to purchase it was obvious and required no more consideration. It was in late 2018 when I purchased my R8.
  11. The origin of the facelift automobile determines its regional variation. The only method to determine is by connecting it to a power source.
  12. Please inspect the programming of the back camera on the new device. When you open VCDS, you will see numerous choices available for selection, which may vary depending on the area and kind of automobile. This is the experience I had when I purchased a radio unit with updated features for my vehicle that was manufactured before the updated version was released.
  13. If you relocate to the 19th century, it may be advantageous to purchase 5 of them as a precautionary measure against pothole cracks.
  14. Greetings, everybody. Approximately one to two months ago, I received a proposal from the representative of the official owners club to arrange a gathering at my residence during the spring season. We have reached a consensus on a date of Saturday, April 6th, and he has graciously granted me permission to extend the invitation to a wider audience beyond the official members. I had already shared this on another Mercedes site, and a few individuals are participating from that platform. Therefore, I decided to publish it here to inquire if anybody is interested in going. If that is the case, please provide your name in the comments box, as it will provide me with an indication of the number of those who plan to attend. The precise location of the address is as follows: Avantgarde is located in Unit 14 of the Hither Green Industrial Estate in Clevedon, BS21 6XU. I look forward to seeing some of you in the spring.
  15. At that moment... Subject currently under progress. The specification of LongLife04 (BMW) has consistently aligned with that of DEXOS/2 (GM). Evidently, the oil specs have undergone modifications in conjunction with the grade. To clarify, LL04 is now only accessible in 0w30. Your remarks about mineral engine oils in the Land Rover are intriguing, albeit they pertain to an other subject. I provide services via my dealer. The service history and resale values are my preferred options. However, during the periodic maintenance, I would replace the engine oil and filter. This is around 5,000 miles. If the dealer were to add 0w30 to my prior vehicle, an e92 M57, I would choose to apply Castrol Edge 5w40 at the midpoint, if you want. I saw that the engine required more time to attain the working temperatures while using 5w40, which seemed somewhat lower based on the gauge. Additionally, the engine exhibited a much reduced noise level. I had always believed that the engine was adequately lubricated. I now own a f32 m57. Short distance. The dealer just placed a deposit of 0w30, and I am uncertain whether it is the appropriate choice for us in the UK. During steep acceleration, I experience a significant amount of noise from a very noiseless diesel engine. I have acquired the greater mileage option and a 5w40 grade, which is now outside the specified requirements. It is intriguing to inquire if individuals who own vehicles with greater mileage would persist in using that oil despite it being officially deemed out of specification. I am now contemplating the optimal choice of oil. 0w30 is analogous to water. The 5w30 has a little "film" or oil-like texture. The synthetic oil known as 5w40 may be readily identified on the fingers. The sensation is akin to that of an oil. The spanner in action is that I came across a YouTube video in which a BMW owner collected oil samples at consistent mileage intervals of 1,000 miles and at each oil change, which were then forwarded for analysis. The laboratories determined that the oil began to degrade at the 6k mile mark and significantly degraded, resulting in little protection to engine intervals at 10k miles. The motor oil in question was LL04. Please proceed, individuals. What are you contemplating?
  16. What is the amount? What is your experience? Most people comprehend the various grades of oils, save for 0w30 in the UK. Does the climate make it too thin? Are there any advantages to using thinner oils? Is there a change in the detergents and other related products? I am curious as to why the LL04 has been removed from the 5w30 grade, but the DEXOS has not. Do you have any suggestions? I have always believed that LongLife4 (BMW) is comparable or same to DEXOS (GM). No, it is evidently not at now. I have a partially completed email. I am contemplating the possibility of submitting it to BMW HO and prominent oil corporations in order to ascertain the outcome. Please share any legitimate comments you have, and I will include them in the email. There are some noteworthy aspects that merit consideration. Am I the only one capable of seeing this? Please go with sharing your opinions.
  17. Greetings, everyone! I started on a quest to gather knowledge about engine oils, grades, and related topics, which led me into a rabbit hole. The most recent services The dealer invoice indicates the use of 0w30 engine oil. Upon retrieving previous bills, it was seen that the 5w30 has been substituted with the 0w30. After unsuccessful attempts to contact the service department due to their preoccupation in adjusting the miniskirt, I resorted to searching on Google. I want to revisit the dealer at a later juncture. It has been some years, but I have seen that sellers in the UK previously using 5w40. The M automobiles have distinct characteristics. I have received guidance indicating that the LL04 has been removed from all prominent oil brands at the 5w30 grade. Currently, LL04 is only offered in the 0w30 grade. The formerly unauthorised cross-referencing of the DEXOS and DEXOS2 grades with the LongLife4 grades has now been legally separated, if desired. It is possible to get a DEXOS/2 grade at both the 0w30 and 5w30 levels. Only the LL04 at 0w30 grade is available. I am now engaged in a process of observation, inquiry, and contemplation around the brevity of the miniskirt. Perhaps it is just me, but I believe that the thinner oil is causing the engine to produce noise. Could you kindly provide arguments?
  18. I am unable to comprehend how Judd manages to distribute any remaining singles.
  19. My independent friend owns and operates a Ferrari.
  20. I have reservations about this, both for your benefit and for the car's. πŸ™‚
  21. Can water cause damage to an ECU? Blocked drains at the windscreen base might cause water to pour into the battery compartment, potentially damaging the neighbouring ECU.
