  1. Neglected to include ... which may not have resulted in any apparent problems while towing with a larger/heavier truck.
  2. I presume you own an adequate nose weight and that any substantial items are positioned centrally. Do you lack a bicycle rack on the rear of the caravan? Are there items you may transport in the vehicle instead of the caravan, such as the awning? Have you verified the precise weight of the caravan, since it is very simple to inadvertently exceed the weight limit.
  3. Isn't SRS the system for airbags and seatbelts? A dual axle is inherently more stable than a single axle, hence it ought to perform well even at a rather high match %. Aside from the limp mode issue 😄 ATC should be used seldom, since it may adversely affect the brakes; within 12 months, my vehicle wore down a set of pads to the extent that one drum was scored and required replacement, despite my not seeing any intervention. What are the tire pressures for both the vehicle and the caravan? Does the automobile manual include towing suggestions, including the suggestion to elevate tire pressures to the maximum rated levels (full load/high speed) to enhance resistance to lateral forces?
  4. Are you certain that the problem does not pertain to the caravan? Does it have AL-KO ATC? The system engages the caravan brakes upon detecting swaying, which may be influencing the car's response. Is this caravan a single or double axle, and what is its Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM)? What is the towing capability shown on the vehicle's plate? What is the duration of your use of this combination?
  5. Defective interior door knobs are a recognized issue on 204 models. Repair kits are easily accessible on eBay and similar platforms.
  6. Excellent specifications. Notable features include Nappa leather, Distronic, sunroof, Intelligent Light System, Memory Pack, TPMS, and DAB.
  7. If I locate it, I will verify; I am confident I tested it upon acquisition, but I cannot recall whether it would initiate the vehicle. I contacted the local main dealer to enquire about obtaining the code for my security nut, and during the conversation, I also asked about the cost of a replacement key. He indicated that if they can still acquire them, the price would be approximately £180. Fifty percent less than Timpsons!
  8. Thank you for the responses. Indeed, I am certain that Timpsons is profiting significantly from customers who pay those prices; it is likely that their charges exceed those of primary dealers currently. Appears excessive for rather uncomplicated keys. I recall being charged significantly less for a key from a Mercedes main dealer several years ago for a key from a comparable model year. Thank you for the caution regarding the AK90+; they appear to be quite perilous based on my observations. I possess a second key that was provided with the vehicle, but it has never functioned properly. I assumed the battery was depleted due to disuse, but perhaps I can locate it to either rejuvenate or replace it.
  9. I might need to pursue key cutting as a hobby.
  10. Greetings to everybody, Has anyone recently had a key duplicated at a fair price? I contacted Timpson to enquire about the cost of duplicating a key for my E53; it is approximately £350 for a vehicle that is 20 years old, astonishing! They stated that they do not manufacture them; rather, they procure them directly from BMW. I will program the key myself; I have bought an AK90+ programmer, which should facilitate the coding process. I merely require a blade cut. I would purchase a £150 key cutting machine from Ali Express and maybe risk electrocution, as indicated in the following YouTube review, rather than pay for a replacement key.
  11. Are the dimensions consistent across all models? He is considering acquiring some for my A207 and his X218. Thank you.
  12. Thank you. I am aware of this product from discussions on detailed forums. It seems that they also offer a DAS-8 version.
  13. I am considering buying a machine that has been polished, and I have a budget of £100. I would like to hear the opinions of professionals on this matter. This is intended for my van. Thank you in advance.
  14. Is the Citroen DS3 immobiliser effective? There is a similar one available on eBay with a 1.6 THP engine.
