  1. I previously utilised WD-40 prior to receiving guidance from the mechanic, and encountered no issues; however, I have adhered to the counsel provided since then. The sole observation I have made is that it appears to endure longer than typical WD-40; perhaps that is what he referred to regarding its tendency to become tacky over time.
  2. During my ownership of a Discovery 3, the mirrors would often adhere; a Land Rover technician recommended applying a silicone lubricant - I utilise WD40 Silicone lubricant (other brands are accessible), and I was cautioned against using standard WD40 on door locks, hinges, etc., as it may exacerbate the issue, since standard WD40 can become exceedingly tacky upon drying.
  3. The only thing that doesn't work is the maps DVD, and the US maps don't have any purpose in the EU. Other than that, everyone is good to go.
  4. yeah, I've tried everything. Even though the command reads all the formats, it still says "unknown format" on both the original and copied map discs. I've tried with versions 18, 11, and 10, and it still doesn't work. So, it seems like the only way ahead is to create an image. I am able to provide US for a trade.
  5. Hey there! So, like I said in the title, I replaced out a broken HDD in my 06 W221 S-class with a working one. The problem is that I only had the US version image, and the command won't accept the maps DVD. I'm looking for the EU image. Anybody got any ideas? I don't care if it's ancient if it still works.
  6. Typically, when an alternator fails to provide sufficient power, the power steering system ceases to function.
  7. I suspected as much; thank you! My tires are in satisfactory condition, therefore I will continue using them for a little longer.
  8. My vehicle is presently equipped with style 158 wheels and 225/45/17 tires on all sides. I intend to replace them with model 194 wheels, which seem to have broader rear sections; therefore, I presume I will require new rear tires. Style 158 8x17 ET34; Style 194 8x17 ET34 (Front), 8.5x17 ET37 (Rear)
  9. I acquired a map sensor 39300/84400 from eBay. Upon scanning with OBD, I detected two errors related to air pressure. Consequently, I reinstalled the original sensor, resulting in no failures on the scanner.
  10. That was unproductive; when installing the sensor, two problems regarding air intake were indicated. I reverted to the previous sensor, and the dashboard light has extinguished. I have addressed all other components, including spark plugs and coils. I suppose I must just accept the situation.
  11. Hello, I have lately had a misfire under aggressive acceleration. I have acquired a new map sensor and will install it later; I will inform you of the results.
  12. I possess a 3 Series Touring M Sport and require the replacement of three tires. They are presently run-flat tires; however, given the condition of the roads in my area and generally, I am considering replacing all four with conventional tires. Regrettably, I am constrained by a limited budget, hence I will not be purchasing premium tires. I am seeking ideas to determine whether to prioritise the safety benefits of run-flat tires or the driving quality of conventional tires. I believe my suspension and wheels are deteriorating with each unavoidable pothole I encounter. Thank you.
  13. Thank you. I may use the automobile again on the cw.
  14. Indeed, I am using the same fields to oversee my DPF. Thank you once again!
