Cape Town seems to be a rather unpleasant experience. Every every grain of salt -

In my perspective, the jag seems remarkable. I recall seeing this 6 series available for purchase at some time 😂 The amount was around £40,000, if I remember correctly. -

Several matthewsons were up for auction two months ago. Over the years, they have accumulated a significant number, but I believe this is the most quantity they have ever possessed simultaneously. I also seen a crimson vehicle, as well as a vintage one some time ago. The cleanliness was exceptional. -

Excellent! The Cortina pickups have a really remarkable aesthetic appeal. Matthewsons sometimes acquire them, and they are always instances from South Africa. I was unaware that Mercedes-Benz produced vintage models such as the fin tail specifically for the South African market. One acquires fresh knowledge on a daily basis, it seems. -

Valuable information! The market for vintage pickups in South Africa is substantial. Is it possible that this particular item is an import from South Africa? I am unable to access the Danish website, hence I lack any knowledge regarding the specific automobile. Unable to comprehend the description or any other content for an unknown cause. -
I was perusing the parking lot in order to see several W124 300Ds that were available for purchase. Encountered this exceptional item and immediately decided to share it on the forum. I am unable to see the listing on the official website. However, the innovation is excellent. The link to the parking may be located here; I discovered this listing on sur theparking-cars.co.uk - isn't it remarkable? It is pleasant to see anything that is little unconventional. Impressive, in my perspective!

Issue - "Malfunctioning Vehicle Lights"
jennycarlotta replied to jennycarlotta's topic in General Discussions
Regrettably, I was unable to resolve the problem independently. After visiting the auto electrician and receiving a detailed explanation, the lights have been successfully repaired, although at a significant cost. The failure to identify the signal sent by the stalk necessitates the replacement of one or more circuit boards. -
Issue - "Malfunctioning Vehicle Lights"
jennycarlotta replied to jennycarlotta's topic in General Discussions
Presently, I own a C7 sedan from the year 2012 equipped with a 2.8fsi engine, which belongs to my spouse. The high beam functionality is non-operational, both in flash mode and when engaged as a complete high beam. When the lever is engaged, the dashboard illuminates with a blue indication light. The diagnostic scan using On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II) revealed the presence of a "open circuit" error message. The notice was deleted, however, the high beam remains non-functional. -

Issue - "Malfunctioning Vehicle Lights"

Further elaboration on the issue at hand: The light selection switch and its surrounding indicators do not illuminate, but all other switches exhibit proper illumination. Moreover, the headlights and taillights are activated, regardless of the position of the light selection switch, even during daytime hours. When the switch is set to the "Auto" mode and the door is opened while the ignition is off, the buzzer will continue to sound until the selector is switched to the off position. -
Issue - "Malfunctioning Vehicle Lights"
jennycarlotta replied to jennycarlotta's topic in General Discussions
Upon closer examination during the evening, it is evident that there is a rubber grommet housing a cluster of wires, which are encased in black tape, protruding from it. This component is situated at the posterior section of the light unit, which forms an integral part of the rear fender. I harboured uncertainty over the decision to attempt its reversal. Additionally, there exists another component of the light unit that is integrated into the rear trunk lid. I want to capture photographs and thereafter upload them on the following day. -

The brightness was assessed and found to be satisfactory. Upon visual inspection, it seems that all wires are in satisfactory condition, with no apparent indications of fraying. Consequently, the subsequent course of action is seeking the expertise of an automotive electrician. Thank you for your assistance. -
Greetings, The dashboard is displaying an error message indicating a fault with the vehicle lighting. Upon inspection, I have verified that all the lights are functioning properly, with no bulbs or LEDs exhibiting any signs of being unlit. Upon doing a scan using On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II), the following problems have been identified: The defects are unable to be eliminated. Are there any potential factors that might be attributed to the cause of this phenomenon? The user expresses gratitude for the assistance provided.

E400d AMG Line Night Edition 4Matic downsized wheels
jennycarlotta replied to CyberNinja's topic in General Discussions
Upon careful examination of the accompanying documents, it is evident that the AMG Line Edition and the AMG Line Night Edition exhibit similar callipers and, in all likelihood, possess identical disc dimensions. Hence, based on theoretical considerations, it can be inferred that the 19-inch wheels, which are originally installed on the AMG Line, are expected to be compatible. Naturally, the optional accessories offered by the manufacturer mostly pertain to bigger wheel diameters rather than smaller ones, hence explaining the absence of the latter in the presentation. The hybrid vehicle, equipped with 18-inch wheels, exhibits a noticeable reduction in calliper size. If my calculations are accurate, decreasing the diameter by 1 inch is expected to result in the wheel being around 12-13mm closer to the calliper. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the size adjustment should be acceptable. What is your insurance company's perspective on the installation of smaller wheels? It is likely to be deemed acceptable if it can be adapted to other models that have similarities with yours. This is because, in actuality, the distinction lies mostly in the amount of trim rather than a more potent variation. In relation to the remarks made by Cabrio Chap, it has come to attention that several discussions have taken place on this platform about the occurrence of damaged 19-inch wheels. It seems that BMW vehicles are also experiencing similar problems. -

Is service B considered fraudulent or deceptive?
jennycarlotta replied to Allan8932's topic in General Discussions
The replacement of brake fluid often aligns with the B service interval for vehicles that undergo yearly servicing, since both maintenance tasks are scheduled to occur every two years. However, automobiles that need servicing more often than once a year as a result of covering a significant distance get desynchronized. -
A C-350 OM642 Oil Catch Can, Year: 2012
jennycarlotta replied to Screwdriver_1's topic in General Discussions
Several years ago, I successfully installed a fitting on my E class vehicle. However, it is questionable if the installation of a catch can will effectively resolve the issue of smoke emission. It is more probable that the smoke is indicative of a different underlying problem. The primary function of a newly installed positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) tube is to provide a controlled flow of oil towards the turbocharger. This constituted the discussion on the other side. -
Should I complete the Platinum or Fairy tabs?

I recall an acquaintance recounting to us his arrival at his residence after a day's labor on a hot afternoon. While filling the kettle at the kitchen sink, the individual saw the bathroom carpet, which was divided into three sections, suspended on the heavily stretched laundry line located in the rear yard. The individual inquired his spouse on the matter. The individual expressed that the object was unclean and afterwards made the decision to cleanse it. Due to its excessive size, she proceeded to divide it into three smaller pieces, since it was not feasible to launder it whole in the washing machine. He exhibited some similarities to Karl Pilkington. The information was conveyed to us when we were present at a construction site during the designated period of lunch break. We all had a moment of amusement.

Absolute Norm.

Indeed, we are contemplating several generations. Moreover, the intermittent illumination of the flashing light serves as a means for the vehicle to communicate to the operator that there may be an issue or anomaly that need immediate consideration and resolution. I would suggest considering a visit to a Mazda dealership in order to have a diagnostic scan.

In the event that the immobilizer system fails to receive a signal from the key fob or has difficulty in maintaining its connection while the engine is operational, it will activate the immobilizer light as a means of alerting the driver of the inability to locate the key fob. The potential reason of this issue might be a depleted battery in the key fob.

True.

Thank you for your response. The primary focus of attention is directed towards the washer cover of the obsidian black automobile, as it is now in a state of utter disrepair and detachment from the vehicle. The matter concerning the Palladium Silver car, which exhibits a shade closer to grey, is of lesser significance at this particular moment. Additionally, since it serves as my primary vehicle for an extended period, I am inclined to adopt a more daring approach towards it, hence being less concerned about assuming slightly higher levels of risk. I intend to address the scuff on the bumper by using a polishing technique, in an attempt to rectify the issue. If this approach proves ineffective, it may be necessary to engage the services of a repair specialist who can do a smart repair or conduct a spray painting procedure on the bumper.
