  1. I trust SilentSpanner's assertion on that matter.
  2. Aesthetically pleasing automobile.
  3. I have just changed the component on my C220 CDI estate, requiring eight socket extensions to complete the task. The task was quite straightforward after we identified the bolt and maneuvered it through, however it was somewhat arduous. In comparison to all other modifications made to the vehicle, it is a task I would delegate to a garage if I were to do it again.
  4. I greatly appreciate your assistance. Your appreciation is highly valued. It is, in fact, number 10 in the image. I have thoroughly utilised eBay for the past few hours. Null I have not observed it numerous times already. The majority are located abroad and exorbitantly priced. Some are rational yet categorised as left rather than right. Notwithstanding the images and explanation explicitly indicating a right. It is equally likely what may occur. All mails I dispatched this week (inside the UK) have been disregarded. Only one individual responded, and while it appeared to bear the same casting number. The part number differs from mine. It was intended for an SLK, however. Although utilised across a diverse range of automobiles. It appears that there are several numbers as well. Although it is the identical component. It has astonished me! I have concluded that I can tolerate no more. I will purchase one. If it is suitable, excellent. 👍 If it fails, the junk dealer will be pleased, and I will purchase another. Until one takes action 😂 The condition is not a concern. Since both the bearing and the bush are being changed anyway. Thank you once again for your assistance. Your appreciation is genuinely acknowledged.
  5. The issue does not pertain to the part number. The part number consists of 10 or 11 digits. I encountered a thread (not related to Mercedes) posing the same inquiry, and the sole pertinent reply received was, "those figures likely originate from the specific casting or production batch that manufactured those knuckles." Thus, there is no conclusive response, although it is logical. This leads me to my initial inquiry. Is it possible to use any knuckle from different models such as w203, w209, c209, and r171, provided it is compatible with M10 bolts? Thank you for the link. I will examine it. I seek to verify my part number, however I am uncertain of its utility, to be honest.
  6. Affirmative, my friend. I cannot locate any information regarding compatible knuckles. Or the purpose of that code.
  7. Upon reviewing several discussions. I recognise that there are numerous genuine technical experts on Mercedes present here. That possesses comprehensive knowledge if it features a star on the grille. Does anyone understand the meaning of a203 04 05? Since it is not a part number, I presume Mercedes did not include it only for aesthetic purposes.
  8. Located adjacent to the parking brake cable.
  9. The thread for the brake calliper in my offside rear knuckle is damaged. I have been attempting to get an additional knuckle on eBay, but I am uncertain which one is compatible with my vehicle. The knuckle does not seem to have a part number. Aside from A203 04 05 The nearside is A203 05 05. I have located one from an R171 SLK that seems to be labelled A203 04 05. The 04 is ambiguous, although that is its apparent appearance. I have contacted the vendor to verify that it is a 04 in the centre, but they just provided me with the part number A2033501408, which is uninformative to me. I dispatched a second message accompanied by an image of the number in question and promptly recognised that I was communicating with an individual seated at a desk and unable to verify the information. The vehicle is a 2006 A209 equipped with the AMG sports package. The brakes are worn, and the bolts seem to be 10mm. According to my observations online, some callipers utilise 10mm bolts while others employ 12mm bolts. I presume that I cannot simply apply any knuckle. My inquiry is if I must align it with the one designated a203 04 05, or if any variant will suffice. Provided the bolts measure 10mm?
  10. It will likely enhance the accuracy of your speedometer, since they often underreport from the factory. The clearance of the front wheel arch liners at full lock is my primary worry.
  11. Thank you, everyone! I was not informed that I need one, nor was there any endorsement for it. I presume everything is OK; I was enquiring to ensure there is not an issue that may unexpectedly arise.
  12. This morning, my BMW X5 40i was taken in the UK. Intruders entered my home, searched, and located my key, which was stored in an anti-theft wallet. I do not believe the car is equipped with a dedicated tracker; however, it was outfitted with technology upon purchase. It includes a Thatcham 1 Alarm System with Remote Control and Engine Immobiliser, a M Sport Pro Package, a Technology Package, and the BMW app, which, while not a tracker, provides real-time location updates and features 360-degree cameras. Despite my explicit decision not to install a tracker on the insurance vehicle, my inquiry is whether my insurance necessitates the use of a tracker, given that my policy lacks an endorsement mandating it and the insurer has not requested one. The terms explicitly state: You will not be covered if Your vehicle was either unlocked or a window or sunroof was ajar. Your keys were left in or on your vehicle. Your vehicle lacks a functional security or tracking system. Thank you for any comments!
  13. Greetings to everyone I am now seeking my first Audi R8 in the UK. I have just sold my 2011 Lotus Evora S and am seeking a Gen 1 facelift R8 V10 or V10 Plus. I have conducted extensive study and am now prepared to proceed; nevertheless, I have a possible concern with ground clearance. I have a significant elevation at the entrance of my garage, and I am concerned about the front nose or splitter making contact. Is there anybody who can ascertain or measure the approach angle for a Gen 1 V10? What is the difference in approach angle between the V10 Plus, which is somewhat lower and has a more aggressive splitter? Here is a schematic I created upon purchasing my Evora. I have measured the garage's approach angle to be around 9.5 degrees. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you
  14. I concur. For a brief while, I anticipated some images...
  15. I own a 2020 Excel and only use Android Auto with the AAwireless adaptor, encountering no troubles. For your information, Toyota is providing a complimentary tracker. I have recently updated my insurance, which was £690 with Quotemehappy, and is now via Go.Compare IM with AA £335 and a TopCashback rebate of £42.
  16. can have Halfords do the service for a little fee. Years ago, when I had a W203 C-Class, the lighting was inadequate, so I purchased the highest quality bulbs available at Halfords and paid a little fee for installation. They will not service all vehicles, since some are quite intricate, and the bulbs must be purchased from them. It is suitable while you wait, but verify before to proceeding.
  17. I performed four oil changes on my vehicle, in two sets of two, and found it sufficiently clean. It did enhance the fluidity of the gear transitions, however.
  18. Is the problem persisting after the battery replacement? I had the same problem with my 2021 CX30, and the battery was replaced, only to have another failure two weeks later. The user's text consists of an emoji depicting a rolling eyes expression. I was informed that I must have inadvertently neglected to turn off my lights. I am incredulous that I left my lights on!
  19. Understood, I will not search for the pull cord. Do the same principles apply to regular mode, which is the mode I mostly use? When the battery hits a certain low level, the controls in the sport mode activate the charging mode.
  20. I have not yet achieved a 0% discharge level for our CX-90 PHEV and I am curious whether, at that time, the vehicle would automatically transition to using the petrol engine and begin recharging the batteries via the engine. I have observed that there is an auxiliary battery present in the automobile, in addition to the standard 12v battery located under the hood. Thank you
  21. Thank you, that is positive information. It seems that the issue is related to the reluctor rings. Can something be accomplished as a do-it-yourself task?
  22. Ah, tyres are a wise suggestion, thank you. The current tyre size is 225/45/ZR17. The new rear tyres have a size of 255/40/ZR17. My knowledge regarding tyres is limited. Will the difference between the 45/40 measurements cause any problems?
  23. The DSC lights have begun to illuminate, and I experience a momentary loss of power during regular driving. Initially, there were just a few isolated incidents of encountering a roundabout, but last night on the road, the warning lights on my vehicle were blinking rapidly, like a brightly lit Christmas tree, even though I was driving on a straight path. Based on my research, it seems that the problem may be related to a reluctor ring. I have many inquiries, then. The problem arose the day after my vehicle's maintenance, during which two fresh rear tyres and brake pads were installed. Could this plausibly be the cause or is it really a chance occurrence? Can I resolve this issue independently using a Haynes manual or instructional videos on YouTube? Am I pursuing the incorrect course of action? Salutations!
  24. Both options are applicable. It is challenging to make a decision. Perhaps a silver colour would be suitable to enhance the silver tones and showcase the automobile in its intended "originality" as per its design. They possess an air of sophistication and elegance. The gunmetal colour option also has an appealing aesthetic, albeit with a somewhat more contemporary and assertive appearance. Both options are equally good.
