  1. It is identical to the Renault Master, thus it may be prudent to enquire about it. The number of van drivers in this area is limited, with a handful of Nissan eNV200s and several Stellantis vehicles, including my Vauxhall Vivaro. I am uncertain if there exists anyone possessing a sizable van. I have not operated a Renault vehicle in over five years, and the last one was a diesel Vauxhall Vivaro (a rebadged Renault Trafic, entirely dissimilar to the present Vauxhall Vivaro, which is a rebadged Peugeot Expert).
  2. Because most people don't give a hoot about automobiles or driving, they'll probably just think of a tyre as a tyre. Since most people seem to go through their tires pretty quickly, if they had to choose between spending £100 and £300 on a legal tyre, they would probably choose the cheaper one.
  3. Last year, I think Kia switched to Google Maps. When I compare, I see that Google and Kia both use the same routing.
  4. Though roadworks are visible when Google detects them (since they are the service providers), I am seeing road closures and the like quite frequently.
  5. As much of a pain as anything else, you can disable the feature that automatically adjusts your speed based on the posted limits. As of right now (in May), there have been no updates, and the Kia navigation updater site is still in the dark regarding the EV2.
  6. A flat place to install the plate is provided by the original plinth, which is designed to meet the bumper's curve. Personally, I'd just get the MB component and paint it to match the rest of the car. I did the same thing with mine, and it fits the car well today.
  7. 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.
  8. If you ask me, the valve block is probably to blame.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

  12. Land Rover has consented to cover 80% of the repair costs, and the vehicle is now scheduled for repairs.
  13. 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.
