  1. Incorrect I am unable to see photographs in recent postings, indicating another issue with the site.
  2. I would like to officially appreciate the significant contributions that [user] has made to the club. He has a far greater amount of information than most individuals and demonstrates a deep passion and enthusiasm for anything related to mercenary activities. As said before, I have more confidence in the other users on this platform than in Google.
  3. I am not acquainted with anybody in your vicinity, but I expect that someone will possess valuable insights into those in close proximity. I have received valuable suggestions on this platform, since I am not always inclined to rely on Google evaluations. If you are located in the northern region, you may rely on CVM Preston for maintenance, MRS for air conditioning or radiator issues, S and R Tyre Bay for any wheel-related matters, and for cleaning services. Is a repository of extensive knowledge. I recall a video from Forensic Detailing on YouTube where he used an inverted patio cleaner. Keith, I commend you for diligently maintaining your vehicle. Keep up the excellent job. 👍
  4. During my brief stint as a window fitter, we used Cif (formerly known as Jif) to remove fingerprints and adhesive residue from the frames after completing the work. However, I would not recommend using it on an alloy wheel as it may be rather abrasive.
  5. Acetone or a comparable substance is effective for my purposes. Allow it a little period to cause the adhesive to become more pliable, and then proceed to remove it by polishing. If you lack access to nail polish remover, consider using a women's nail varnish remover that mostly contains acetone. EDIT...I was outpaced by someone who typed quicker!
  6. Cape Town seems to be a rather unpleasant experience. Every every grain of salt
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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!
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. I will proceed with the purchase and thereafter share the outcome.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. I recommend consulting the website wheel-size.com for the desired information.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Should I complete the Platinum or Fairy tabs?
