  1. I will ascertain the information tomorrow.
  2. My S204 (59 plate) was scheduled for a MOT last week, and the day before to the appointment, the near-side rear indicator malfunctioned, accompanied by a notification on the dashboard. Upon inspecting the rear of the light, I saw that the brown earth wire in the connecting connector had completely burned out, accompanied by a charred pin, despite another earth wire being connected to the bodywork and lighting unit. I opted to get an additional n/s/r light unit along with a new plug and harness cables from MB Newcastle and eBay. Upon connecting the new connector to the old wire, the indicator functions; however, the flasher in the cluster operates at double the speed. Inquiry? Is there a relay or rear SAM problem preventing the cluster from flashing in synchrony with the external indicator? Will it still pass the MOT scheduled for tomorrow? The indicator functions correctly; however, the internal flasher operates at an accelerated rate. Desire to resolve this issue prior to listing it for sale.
  3. Best of luck, my friend; please inform us of the outcome. 👍👍
  4. The primary battery requires recharging or replacement. Frequent issues, all associated with diminished battery voltage. Abandoning it for two weeks has significant meaning. To be honest.
  5. Indeed, you may place advertisements here, but only in the part to which I linked in my first post.
  6. I am here to assist all members, from the nasty and irritating to the nice and bothersome. It is a thankless endeavor, but I am compensated with the ability to use the ban button.
  7. Indeed, the Z3 is constructed on a truncated E36 chassis, along with shared engines and several other components. If you like to sell components from this, please use the parts for sale area.
  8. In the past, I would disable the electricity to the fuel pump, anticipating that I would hear them attempting to start the automobile without success.
  9. Apply a UV-protective lacquer. Some lens polishing kits include it.
  10. Did it undergo the EGR cooler recall inspection or replacement?
  11. A free replacement is not assured. Various sellers appear to have distinct methodologies. I am uncertain whether your decision to have children will influence them. If anything is hazardous, it is hazardous. Best of luck; please inform us of your progress.

  13. If you can choose your specific automobile from the list on this page, you should be able to examine the engine schematics to ascertain what you want. Select the first six digits from your VIN to get the accurate variation, since other C180 options are available on the website.
  14. Each axle is equipped with two matching tires (make/type), since not all makes of tires of the same size possess identical physical rolling radii. Several years ago, the space-saver activated the ABS warning light on one of my vintage vehicles from the 1990s.
  15. has just the primary statistic, without any other metrics on EGR
  16. The oil temperature is satisfactory at around 100 degrees, but the coolant temperature is lower than desired, albeit not enough low to inhibit regeneration processes at this time. Start the engine from a cold state and observe if the hose from the thermostat heats up at the same pace as the other components. If it does, the thermostat is likely jammed open, since it should remain cold until it opens at around 85 degrees Celsius.
  17. Simplifies the process by eliminating concerns about the gearbox cooler thermostat.
  18. That is the oil temperature, not the coolant temperature; it is advisable to verify the coolant temperature first and proceed accordingly.
  19. Recently cleaned the new motor to remove some winter filth for a day or two. Discovered many paintwork chips on the roof. Should I be concerned about their colour? Resembles rust closely. Is there any treatment I may pursue?
  20. Indeed, I am curious about the identity of the owner.
  21. Appears to have been rear-ended. An individual likely engaging in texting while operating a vehicle at a traffic signal.
  22. I am curious about the fate of the 2023 GT. That is painful.
