Mistral

The automobile has entered limp mode as a protective measure. It is necessary to have the fault codes examined, since the issue might be of various kind.

Shortly after replacing the boot seal, water returned with great intensity. I brought it to a Body Shop that identified the leak. There are two areas of rust below, where the seam seal has also deteriorated. We conducted a test by having someone enter the trunk and then I forcefully sprayed water using a high-pressure water jet. Merely applying a seal on the outside has been shown to be inadequate. The optimal choice is to put sealant on the inside and exert pressure with your finger to maximise the amount applied. Since the application of seam sealer from the back requires the removal of the rear bumper. Please note that I am now overseeing the temporary repair, which involves utilising a window bonding solution on the inside of the boot/panel until I am able to replace it correctly.

Indeed, I too engaged in the activity you mentioned subsequent to perusing your discussion. I have also sealed the boot lid plate with tigerseal at a body shop when installing a facelift one. However, in this occasion, I monitored the water ingress specifically originating from the seal of the boot lid. Upon exerting pressure, water was seen to be flowing out. Furthermore, there are now rust spots present all around. I will address this issue and see the outcome. However, I am grateful for the assistance and contributions from everyone. If the issue is not resolved, it may be necessary to reconsider the other areas.

It has been discovered that the source of water leakage is really the rubber seal around the boot. Discovered a component in close proximity and applied pressure to the rubber seal, resulting in the observation of water infiltrating the inside of the seal. Although I replaced it three years ago, I am considering purchasing a new one and installing it without any silicone oil or sealer, following the dry/factory method. Uncertain about the specific orientation required for placing the seal. Do you have any guidance or recommendations?

Regrettably, the previous effort to rectify the water leakage in the trunk was unsuccessful. After doing many further inquiry efforts, I used UV dye and discovered that water is infiltrating via the panel gaps shown below. I should have noticed earlier, since there are now little areas of rust below. I want to apply seam sealer to this area after doing rust treatment, sanding, and painting. However, it remains unclear as to the source of the entry point. I followed the advice given in another post and generously applied silicone sealant to the rubber seal in the boot and the gaskets of the tail lights. In addition to some regions coated with silicone grease. The boot lid panel has been resealed with tiger seal. All of the rubber trimmings have also been replaced. The individuals mentioned in the typical suspects have been acknowledged and considered in accordance with the previous guidance provided by others. Water does not immediately flow down to the marked sections when poured from the top. Creating a deceptive perception. I am concerned that putting seam sealer to this portion may result in water flooding the opposite side of the panel, namely where the boot lock hinge is located. Since it is an electronic boot release. Has anybody else encountered a similar situation previously? What precautions should be taken while applying seam sealer? I purchased a brush specifically designed for applying seam sealant.

Thank you! Regarding the gap, I am uncertain about the reason for the asymmetry between the left and right sides. I could not see any indications of prior damage, which leaves me perplexed as to the cause.

I have successfully located the source of the water infiltration into the spare wheel well region of the car's trunk. I replaced the gaskets for both tail lights and the rubber seals on both sides. Unfortunately, I have not been successful yet. Subsequently, I tracked the path of the water flow and saw that it runs beside the boot rubber seals, as indicated by the side trim pieces. Furthermore, I noticed a disparity in the panel on the left, but the right side had a somewhat narrow gap. To rectify this, I used a dolly to gently hammer down the left side, aiming to achieve a somewhat similar alignment. I purchased a new rubber seal from authorised dealers, together with rust converter and sealer, which resolved the issue. If you have water in the boot region, I suggest inspecting the rubber seal for any symptoms of rust, particularly in the lower section, before purchasing a new gasket or rubber side trims. It may just need a £5 sealant to repair the region, unless you are really meticulous. The closure of the boot has become somewhat more difficult after the replacement of the boot seal.

I have just been informed that most items are not suitable for use since the carpet is made of wool, rather than synthetic material. Therefore, no devices equipped with a rotating brush. We have decided to continue using our existing corded Electrolux cylinder vacuum cleaner since it has an air circulation hole and does not have a spinning brush.

I feel that it is necessary to use an official version of STAR, either via an independent expert or a Mercedes-Benz dealer.

I believe it may need calibration. However, there is a possibility that you may have a fortunate outcome. I own a 2011 vehicle, and the only sensor installed in it is responsible for regulating the xenon levelling system. I have successfully loosened the nut, but I have not yet managed to detach the bracket. For my next endeavour, I plan to detach the arm in order to facilitate the removal of the bracket on the workbench.

There are several excellent independent mechanics in my area, which is in the northeast. I recall there being one in either Leeds or Nottingham that specialises in gearbox repairs and is really skilled. They also provide a wide range of other automotive services. I will try to get their contact information for you.

That statement is often accurate, until it reaches the point when an additional storage facility is required to accommodate all the belongings.

I like the convenience of its simplicity; just spray and wipe. On 9 occasions out of 20, I am unable or unable to apply an additional layer of wax. However, please ensure that no excess spray lands on the windscreen.

It has been my preferred choice for a detailer for a considerable period of time.

Attention Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer users: I would like to inform you that the product is presently on sale during the Amazon Spring Sale, priced at £8.74 for the 750ml trigger bottle.

However, they were using their own funds. In my opinion, it seems like their enthusiasm or dedication towards the task, most likely the brush thing, was lacking for some unknown reason.

We concluded that this was likely the case, albeit it was done in a careless or incomplete manner. There was just one review. What is the rationale for purchasing numerous identical items? Are there four orange hoodies available? They were really expensive. Undoubtedly, someone would have completed the task. May I inquire about the availability of a box of tissues? Who would be concerned with the evaluations of those? Regardless, the password has been changed and the issue has been resolved.

I first considered the possibility, but it turned out that the individual in question used their personal credit card instead of the one associated with the account. They proceeded to make many purchases over the course of around one month before we were aware of the situation. Due to the proximity of an important birthday, we mistakenly assumed that the gifts were intended for us, unaware that they really belonged to someone else. The boxes remained unopened until the birthday celebration. They had several opportunities to intercept shipments, but they never took advantage of them. Regardless of the circumstances, why would one want to purchase a box of red nose tissues?

Here is another seemingly futile fraud. We have received unsolicited packages from Amazon, which were seemingly ordered using our account but paid for by the perpetrator of a scam. Amazon refuses to accept the return. We have not incurred any financial loss. These goods are quite peculiar.

First and foremost, I would want to express my highest admiration for the many forum users that engage in their own repair tasks. Regrettably, I am not skilled in maintaining my automobiles and so rely on automotive experts to ensure their proper functioning. My spouse and I acquired a visually appealing previously used 2010 Range Rover Sport HSE L320 with a mileage of 140,000 from a dealership in Tennessee. We acquired the item at a favourable cost (about $8k) and were aware that we would need to allocate a few further dollars to improve its mechanical condition - I estimated an expenditure of roughly $5k at most. Our optimism was tempered by prudence, since the sole warning on the display was for the air suspension. Neither the check engine light nor any codes were being produced. Due to the presence of a single unresolved recall on the vehicle, we scheduled a service appointment with a Land Rover shop located outside of our local area in order to rectify the issue, since there were no nearby Land Rover dealerships available. In addition, we requested a comprehensive examination to see whether there were any other issues that need attention. The unexpected discovery and the subsequent repair expenses took us by surprise: The cost of the ride height sensor is $1580. The cost of front and rear air struts is $8300. The cost of front lower control arms is $3000. The cost for the timing chain and its related components is $12,500. An additional $4000 was spent on brake repair, replacement of the Sirius Radio module, alignments, bulb replacements, and several other minor services. The total expenditure amounted to $28,000. I have complete confidence that these fixes are really essential. As previously said, I lack mechanical aptitude and must rely on the expertise of others. However, do the rates mentioned align with the anticipated costs for these repairs? Regrettably, we are unable to provide $28,000 towards the purchase of a 15-year-old car due to financial constraints. My wife is quite distressed. Undoubtedly, it was essential for us to do this inspection before purchasing the car. We contacted other mechanics in the area, but none had sufficient expertise on Range Rovers to assess them. Uncertain about the course of action to take at this juncture. whether I could get the principal concerns resolved for a sum of $10,000, I would probably proceed with the endeavour. However, I am uncertain whether such an outcome is feasible. Are you suggesting that an independent and skilled technician could be able to provide a lower pricing than the dealership service department? I am uncertain.

They do. The daughter has AA coverage via a mini and used it for a blowout. It was a local company that emerged, rather than AA. It is reassuring to learn that the emergency call button is functional, since it facilitated her connection to AA.
