I'd probably hire someone to do it for me when I'm 72 years old, just so you know. Of course, I'm not claiming it can't be done 🙂 The labor cost for the bellows shouldn't be too high, since it's the kind of task that would be much easier with a ramp rather than squirming around underneath.

If you ask me, the valve block is probably to blame.

My 2013 c180 has been intermittently displaying warnings on the dashboard regarding problems with the ABS and ESP systems, as well as the TPMS system. I expected the battery to be higher after only 15 hours of not driving the car, so I checked it using this site and found that it was 11.9 volts. After that, I purchased a Kingbolen OBD2 module, performed diagnostic tests, and the results are attached to this report. I cleared the codes and ran the test again, but the problems persisted. Based on this, I'm considering that the issues could be caused by the battery, with or without the exception of the wheel speed sensor, which likely needs replacing. I have already tested the actuation tests for the steering column, wipers, etc., and they all worked without faults. I have never replaced the battery in a vehicle less than two years ago, so I have no idea how old this one is. Since the car is stop-start, I am also unsure about which battery to get and whether or not it requires coding.

Rob, if you don’t mind me asking, did they explain clearly how the 14-day return works if you’re not happy? That’s the bit I’d want written clearly.

The ZF transmission's torque converter isn't the problem; it's the wet clutch. Under typical operating conditions, the wet clutch and gearbox share fluid, which results in the emission of numerous microscopic particles. That is why it is advised to change the fluid and filter more frequently.

Land Rover has consented to cover 80% of the repair costs, and the vehicle is now scheduled for repairs.

They assert that they are a pre-owned JLR dealer, first offering a three-year RAC guarantee with a £50 hourly labour rate. However, they then stated the rate would be £70 per hour, despite their actual rates being £95 per hour. I have been informed that batteries are not included in the coverage. I would have expected the 48-volt battery to endure beyond 3 years and 4 months.

Thank you.

Any advice would be welcomed. I purchased a Range Rover Evoque with a 2-liter petrol engine, registered at the end of July 2022. I have possessed the vehicle for three and a half months. Three weeks ago, a battery warning light illuminated when we were driving past a garage, prompting us to request a diagnostic examination. The alternator was found to be non-functional, prompting the order and installation of a new unit from JLR. A further issue was identified, and the electrician determined that the 48v hybrid battery was non-functional. Do I have any recourse with Land Rover, given that the car has only travelled 20,000 miles? The merchant from whom I purchased it is disinterested, asserting that it was in satisfactory condition at delivery.

Indeed, I consistently receive the "it has failed" notification, and when they begin enumerating the costs, it resembles the national debt of a minor nation in the Far East.

I possess a 2024 CX-90 PHEV. We encountered initial issues mostly linked to software. The sole mechanical problem was the hot water heater. Mazda received a defective shipment from a supplier. For the past 1.5 years, it has been entirely devoid of issues. However, I comprehend your reluctance. Consumers are providing highly favourable reviews about the 2026 Toyota RAV4 PHEV.

All the batteries listed by Euro Car Parts for my 2022 1.8 Excel indicate "not start-stop compatible." Could someone possibly provide guidance to the uninformed?
