I saw a similar image on my dashboard camera. Were you a Nextbase user? In order to proceed, it is necessary to deactivate the welcome sound inside the settings.

I am uncertain about your intended meaning about this matter. I prefer not to engage in such activity in a bustling urban area.

I am uncertain about your intended meaning about this issue, and I am unable to engage in such job in a bustling street.

I possess a proficient reading ability; yet, I am currently unaware of the current situation. My understanding is that it is unreliable and untrustworthy.

I have another post on the battery issue, or so I thought. Now, let's attempt using a fresh, fully charged device obtained from a neighbour. There is no start, and while the lights are clearly bright, there is no other indication of the engine rotating or any clicking sound from the starter. The engine is completely dead. There may be an ignition malfunction. I can really see it being abandoned at this point.

I would never let another individual, regardless of their identity, to operate a costly vehicle to such an extent independently.

Diesel was supplied a week ago with Toyo. It performed well for about 60 kilometres. Installed Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV winter tyres on the same day, which are satisfactory. Unable to compare them to Toyo tyres since they were seldom used.

Yesterday, I test drove a CLS500. Are these engines designed to produce a high-pitched sound? Despite reading that the V8 engine in these automobiles is quiet, all I could hear while driving was a concerning whining noise. Nevertheless, I have never experienced riding in a V8 automobile. The throttle response was very different from that of my vehicle. I had to use more force than anticipated to get the automobile in motion. I slightly accelerated on a dual highway and it performed well. I see the appeal of upgrading to the 5.5 version / CLS55. Despite the heavier steering compared to mine, I found it comfortable and enjoyable. I was satisfied with the steering and handling of the vehicle on the road. I believe I did not adequately evaluate a suitable example due to the engine noise. My vehicle seems much faster now. I didn't realise how much diesel engines have improved over the years. I am considering test driving another vehicle, maybe a CLS55, since I believe the throttle response would be more responsive compared to the car I drove today.

Thank you for responding. Your arguments are very valid. The inability to return is a significant issue for me. I often use a work van, which helps me save my mileage. My vehicle was parked at work all week, but I drove it back tonight, and it still brings me joy. Finding a well-maintained CLS is important. I considered that an older vehicle could be expensive to maintain, so my estimated monthly cost of £406 may not have been far off. I am strongly considering forgoing the warranty but retaining the service plan, since I believe it would enhance the resale value if I decide to keep it. I can transfer the warranty to the future owner if they like, which I believe would be a compelling advantage as a private seller, beyond an AA warranty 😉 I'm not a huge supporter of electric vehicles, but what do you think about the government potentially implementing new legislation that might significantly reduce the presence of diesel automobiles on the market? Losing £7,000 on a vehicle is OK to me, but losing £32,000 is not. I am being extreme and considering the worst-case situation, when people need the fuel efficiency that a diesel automobile can provide. Without the chip scarcity, I would continue making my monthly payments and could purchase the item for £16K at the conclusion of the term. I believe its value would exceed £16K in two years.

The only available CLS550 for sale that meets my criteria. Auto Trader UK offers a variety of new and used cars for sale. Cheers

Greetings I have a CLS 350D W257 that I have had for about two years. Owning a CLS was my ambition, and I have finally achieved it. Spending £554 monthly on a car (comprising £406 for the car, £52 for MB service plan, and £96 for extended MB warranty) is prompting me to reconsider. Redirecting these funds towards overpaying my mortgage for the next 7 years could lead to mortgage-free status. Additionally, with my workplace moving from a 72-mile daily commute to a 4-mile daily commute (likely walkable), this might be the opportune moment to consider V8 ownership. Due to the chip shortage, companies like webuyanycar are offering me around £32k for my car, but my settlement amount is £23k. I am considering purchasing the vehicle for £23k and then selling it to buy a W219 CLS petrol 5.5 litre version. I am aware that transitioning from a new automobile to a 15-year-old car would need some adjustment. I want to test drive a CLS500 over the weekend to familiarise myself with it. I would appreciate hearing thoughts from other Mercedes-Benz owners or automobile enthusiasts since they may provide more valuable insights compared to my wife, who is not interested. The decision involves a conflict between emotions and logic. I am considering forgoing the warranty on my present car and keeping it, although it will likely remain parked for extended periods, especially since it is a diesel vehicle. I was considering the CLS55 / CLS 6.2 AMG but I'm afraid they could be costly to maintain. If I save roughly £500 a month, I would have plenty money to cover any significant unexpected expenses. Is there a possibility that a CLS55 / 6.2 AMG might appreciate in value in the future? There is now just one CLS550 with low mileage available for sale in the UK. Should I retain my vehicle and attempt to sell it fast once I find the ideal CLS550, or should I consider purchasing the one available for sale today? Ideally, I would like a CLS550 with lesser miles from 2008 with LED taillights, however it seems that they are not available. I prefer not to purchase a vehicle with more than 100,000 miles on it. Another concern I have is about the headlights of my current CLS. I like the brightness of my present headlights and wonder whether there is a legal method to enhance the brightness and whiteness of the W219 lights. Has anybody modified the Xeon projector like some Americans have done? The appearance of my vintage Clio 182 Xeons is superior to that of the CLS lights. Anticipating response eagerly. Cheers

Playfully impudent (although likely accurate). I have a sentimental attachment to it, Dave. When I was 16 years old in 1978, my father brought me to his workplace. As a result, I want to acquire a vehicle from that time period, namely the version with round headlights, to add to my garage. We must arrange a meeting this year.

Does anybody own one that is concealed? I would be OK with a project bike, provided that the back area is not in a state of disrepair. What do you possess?

How can you ascertain that the oil was not altered? Furthermore, what were you billed for?

The price on Amazon is little over £10, which is a great deal.

Thank you for providing me with the recommendations. I have placed an order for Sonax to test it out.

I have not yet cleaned any of the vehicles, so I suppose once would enough as soon as the weather permits. I need a wax or similar substance to maintain the luster and water beading properties. Does the sonax primarily function as a waterless wash rather than a wax?

While I like the convenience of spray-on and rinse-off products, I am skeptical about their long-term effectiveness beyond a few hours. Can they really provide lasting benefits?

Do you have any recommendations?

When weather conditions permit, I will use Autoglym Super Resin to polish the automobiles. However, I am uncertain if it is necessary to apply a wax afterwards. Can wax be used to coat glass surfaces as well?

Performing regular maintenance and thorough cleaning of the intake manifold helps enhance the engine's power output. The insurance price increase fluctuates depending on modifications.
