Spoke with them again this morning and asked pretty much every annoying question I could think of. They were actually fine about it still haven't completely made my mind up, but I'm leaning towards going ahead Wife thinks I'm mad buying something in Belfast without seeing it !

@Chrishazle did you have to pay the whole lot before the car left Belfast or was it deposit first? That's probably the part making me most uncomfortable.

Belfast apparently. That's half the problem because I'm in Exeter 😂 They said I'm welcome to arrange a viewing, but realistically it's a fair trek just to look at a car

Was having a browse on eBay yesterday and came across a 2021 Volvo XC60 R-Design that caught my eye. Price was quite a bit below everything else I've seen with similar mileage, so naturally I sent a message expecting there to be some sort of catch. Got a reply from Han independent selling agent saying that the car is owned by Mcerlane Logistics from Belfast Never come across them before though. Anyone actually bought a car through them or even used them for transport?

Is the water in the battery compartment of the boot related in any way? It appears unusual because I am unable to determine its source.

Checked it out, mate. The battery is OK; I just got a new one.

Greetings everyone, Unfortunately, my 2006 E64 does not have comfort access. The vehicle was operating smoothly; I disabled it, locked it, etc. After getting back in, I tried turning the key, but the engine still wouldn't start or crank. The symbol "key not detected" is displayed. Even with the spare key, I was unable to get the car to start today; the dashboard lights came on, but there was no symbol. Can you offer any recommendations?

It can be the ECU connection(s). A live function test might reveal its operational status. Indeed, Star is capable of doing that. If not, some diagnostic tools may detect an open cct problem.

Mine was functioning when I parked the car, but it has since stopped responding, so I'm hoping it's not the vp44. When I think back on this difficulty from many years ago, I recall that we had to tow the automobile in order to start it, but I believe that was due to the fact that we didn't have alternative methods. For some reason, the only thing that comes to mind is to give it a quick spray of brake cleaner or easy star for a couple of seconds.

The phrase "left bank, drivers side" provides a hint that it is describing a vehicle with the left-hand drive. Regardless of the driver's seat, the cylinder numbers remains same

For the high pressure needed by the SBC, isn't it the pressure reservoir or accumulator?

Does the whole sensor array have its own fuse?

Surely that plays a pivotal role in the engine's performance?

My car doesn't seem to have turbo, and I received a fault on the diagnostic, so I wanted to get everyone's opinions. I have a 28EC00 code for the pressure sensor, which means the sensor is missing from the metal pipe. The tuner installed the bolt, but I didn't pay attention to it.By the way, I removed the dpf, EGR, swirl flaps, and stage 1 from my car as well. However, the only part that still gave me trouble was the pressure sensor. I'd be grateful for any advice you could provide me.

What kind of protection does the addition of pig tails provide against oil seepage up the wiring looms?

Sport+ makes them slightly more aggressive. In my opinion, the most useless setting for regular on-road driving a 2.0 diesel. Due to its exorbitant price, no one ever uses it.

Kia automotive dealership

I acquired my Kia Sportage GT-Line S HEV two weeks ago. Upon collecting the vehicle, the sales representative was unaware of the procedure to erase the previous owner from the automobile or the Kia app. Instructed to reach out to Kia UK. I have accomplished that.I attempted to disconnect driver 1 from the display, resulting in the car becoming inoperative (all systems off). I am now apprehensive that if I attempt to remove it from the vehicle and Kia Connect, the car would cease to function. I will contact the Kia dealership to request resolution of the issue. I am currently unable to establish a car account. Any guidance is appreciated, please.

For my S212, I opted for a screen from Icebox Auto. Though it took me three hours to install, I am satisfied with how it communicates with the rest of the car's features, especially the parking sensors. I now have the option to use either the car's original NTG4.0 system maps, Waze installed independently on the new screen, or Google Maps when I connect it to my phone using Android Auto for sat nav. A replacement screen measuring 10.25" mounted on a custom frame was installed in lieu of the original, and it blends in seamlessly. I've got FM radio and CD on the old menu, DAB and music via SD and USB sticks on the new screen menu, and Spotify and Internet Radio through Android Auto. It's easy to go back to the traditional functionality. It cost around £500, which is more than the Temu and AliBaba deals but far less than the most expensive alternatives.

😁

Press down on the brake pedal just enough, like you would at the start of applying the brakes, and hold yourself in place by pressing a stick into the seat or the wheel. The reservoir will no longer drain if that is done. Not in time for this task, but that's the way it's done in the future.

Your responses are greatly appreciated. I will investigate, but I haven't seen any differences at 75 mph. Going from sixth to seventh gear at forty miles per hour in comfort mode is par for the course. Have learned that the vehicle has received three upgrades over airwaves, which are as follows: November 26th, 2018: Communication module optimisation Enhanced Mercedes-Me module 9.11.23 Update for the Mercedes-Me module 3.6.21 Missing from all previous updates

I have had the car since November 2022, so no.

Hello there, I have been experiencing issues with the automatic gearbox in my C class, which has logged 38,500 kilometres. Unless you utilise the paddles on the steering wheel, the automatic transmission will not change up from sixth gear to seventh gear and beyond. As expected, the gearbox shifts down, and up and down movement of the paddle shifters produces the desired effect. After driving on the self-learning cycle, the issue of not being able to shift into seventh speed at around 40mph reappears, even after resetting the automatic gearbox. I was informed by a Mercedes specialist that this model does not require a fluid replacement until 75,000 miles, however the automatic gearbox has not been serviced or changed since it was new. I had similar issue last year, but it went away in the late summer after a particularly warm spell. Now it's back. A scanner from the local garage, an Autel Maxisys 908s, detected four suspicious wheel speed signals—one for each wheel. Based on my little exploration of the web, I have discovered multiple instances of W205 auto gearboxes failing to engage in 2019 models. Does anybody have any ideas as to whether the issue is with the sensors or the software, and how much it will probably cost to fix it? Would appreciate any suggestions for an independent MB specialist (within a reasonable distance from Northwich, Cheshire) with an appropriate Star system who can diagnose the problem and fix it the first time around; I'm thinking of taking my car in for diagnostics. Even when the engine temperature is normal, the electric cooling fan continues to run after shutting off the engine, which is another intermittent defect. This seems to begin occurring after driving through numerous puddles. It seems to be a winter issue; I experienced the same thing last year, but it went away in the summer. Maybe Mercedees are starting to hate our rainy season. Though my two issues pale in comparison to the ones that Mr. Starmer is presently facing, I would really appreciate any feedback you could provide.

Perhaps the worst design ever—the handbrake shoes—are worth taking a peek at.
