  1. I get it! As a whole, I agree with you that these alloys look fantastic on the SLK55; nevertheless, I'm still considering whether or not a 17-inch compromise would be more satisfactory.
  2. Now I'm having doubts! Each of the square-shaped alloys has a 9x18 dimension and an ET of 42. Shows: Will they be a good fit? A only three centimetres separate us from suspension! seems like a lot. Alert from Google AI: If you own a Mercedes-Benz SLK from the R170 or R171 generation, you may run a 9x18-inch square layout; however, you'll need to pay close attention to the offsets to prevent rubbing, particularly on the front axle.
  3. Oh, I see. I happened upon a set (I hope!) on the Bay the other day. How fortunate!
  4. Seems like these fancy "turbine" chaps may work...All R171 alloys are interchangeable, right?
  5. The car's present wheels are these cosy 16-inch alloys.
  6. The windows, steering, lighting, and gear shift are all powered by electricity. My arm, which is gripping the window winder, moves around and around in response to an electrical signal from my brain whenever I wish the windows open. As if by some enchantment, the window descends. Similarly, when I wish to park in reverse, my brain communicates with my arms. With one hand, I shift into backward while the other controls the wheel, and I park the car. My brain alerts my right arm, which then extends forward and flips the switch to the "on" position for the headlights whenever I detect that it has become dark outside. When I wish to shift gears, my brain signals my left arm, which in turn moves the gear stick. First, I'm smart, and second, I passed the driving test, so I can do all these amazing things. These high-tech vehicles equipped with computers are perfect for those who lack intelligence and have not yet completed their driver's license exam. The mechanics at the garage, alas, lack brains. Instead of utilising their limited cognitive abilities to accurately identify the issue, they blindly follow the instructions on their computer. So, the client ends up paying a hefty sum for unnecessary services.
  7. Oh, I see. Buying my 1983 W123 200 is the way to go. I will not be using any electronics, adblu, DPF, warning lights, wind-up windows, LEZ fees, road tax, or MOT (though I'm sure someone on this forum will renew mine tomorrow), and my insurance is £89 a year. But the problem is that I have to sell it since the sitting position is too much for my old knees.
  8. Rather than using approach unlock, I consistently employ walk away locking. Been using it for over two years with no problems. Under typical circumstances, it works perfectly fine. However, if you do something strange, like leave the hood up for an hour while you wash the car, it might fail. Checking sure the handles are flush as you leave is always a good idea.
  9. The shade described
  10. I discovered a significant quantity of oil in my coolant reservoir. I extracted it and substituted some coolant. I aim to ascertain the source of the leak, and many have suggested that it is an issue with the oil cooler. Nevertheless, the oil cooler I located is positioned on the front driver's side beneath the bumper. This system is fan-assisted and features two connected cooler pipes. I do not observe any coolant lines linked to the oil cooler. Where are the oil and coolant systems interconnected? Thank you
  11. It is more probable that it is requesting you to decrease the oil level. Vehicles equipped with the OM654 engine are notoriously sensitive regarding oil levels. I often add 0.5 litres less than the quantity indicated on WIS due to complaints regarding overfilling when the specified amount is used. The electronic gauge is challenging to interpret. Typically, it requires thirty minutes of jogging to manifest, however this duration appears to be inconsistent. I prefer to observe them in the midpoint between the minimum and maximum when a reading is obtainable. Setting it to maximum will inevitably result in receiving the reduction notification at some stage.
  12. I would examine the fusebox via a piggyback connection; this ensures it is deactivated when it is supposed to be, employing an ignition live fuse.
  13. Ha ha...Indeed, I have been informed of the degradation of the dashboard and steering wheel rubber. Either the temperature in Vancouver is not sufficiently high, or my Solara has been well sheltered in a garage or carport, as there are no indications of tackiness or melting thus far.
