Requesting information about body weatherstripping.
Craigbelont replied to keithmerc220's topic in General Discussions
Durable moulding and trim components may be found on all types of contemporary automobiles. Frequently, they are equally difficult to get, fresh, and promptly for an autobody business and its typical supply methods, just like for any other individual. Therefore, they perform the task of cleaning and reapplying the current ones. Search for information about "Bean-e-Doo". The creator provides an explanation of the methods and reasons behind their work. You may get "Goo Gone," a product for smaller tasks, in the kitchen area of large retail shops or at autoparts stores. CAVEAT: "Goo Gone" is a more potent and fast-acting solution compared to Bean-e-Doo, but it has the potential to harm plants and other objects as well. Be cautious and avoid using solvent products that are well-known for causing damage to paint, such as "Goof Off" which contains a significant amount of Toluene. There are many new "body moulding adhesives" available, but a large number of these things were originally installed at the factory using high-quality double-sided tape. Therefore, using the same kind of tape again is not a makeshift solution. By specifying "industrial grade," I meant that stealing from the school supplies area at the Dollar store would not provide you with the desired level of durability. Both surfaces must be free of dirt or impurities. Refer to the information provided before. A heat-gun with thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLC) may effectively rectify bends and some types of kinks, albeit not all. The seals and edging on the driver's side door are prone to chronic wear and tear. As cars age or are involved in accidents, these parts progressively become unavailable and eventually go out of stock. Locating this one should not be too difficult, nevertheless. The 'simple' version you have shown may need trimming to fit from a supply of general-purpose materials. Apply the heat gun once more in order to create bends. Well done for taking prompt action. Ignoring this issue does not lead to any improvement. The aesthetic appeal of reusing items is compromised when they are neglected and subjected to tearing or significant damage due to excessive movement. -
Devastated by the exorbitant expenses of repairing my heart.

I own a 2012 Range Rover Sport. I visited the dealership to address a recall, and during the inspection, they discovered issues with my vehicle that amounted to a value exceeding $10,000. After obtaining a hard copy of all the diagnostic reports, I proceeded to meticulously investigate each issue and discovered that it was rather straightforward to resolve them on my own. Persevere -
I briefly considered a coupe in the past, but it was not a feasible option for our current circumstances.

The dashboard has been inundated with warnings.

I highly recommend the battery. Additionally, it is advisable to refrain from including one's postal code on the forum. -
The vehicle in question is a 2009 E350 CDI Coupe 3L V6. After receiving information about ring leaks, I purchased one and a spare clamp. Three bolts have been recently removed from the power steering tank in order to replace the o ring. It has been determined that there is not just one pipe connected to the bottom right of the tank. The leak originates from an underground source, such as a pump or a pipe. If no visible signs are present, it will be necessary to remove the panel and clean it with steam in order to determine the source of the leak. The notion of a victor was disregarded.

The sensor is located next to the fuel line or glow plug on the right side of the engine. Envision a scenario where the whole 'L' shaped plastic component is completely detached, leaving no object to grasp onto. Additionally, a fuel rail is present in the vicinity. I exerted significant force on it while the two metallic prongs were protruding, and it remained still - both prongs detached. I attempted to use silicon grease in order to release it. The presence of a warm engine while my work on it may have been beneficial. I believe my only prospect is to persistently erode the plastic and observe the contours of the underlying brass, with the expectation that it may possess a suitable surface to adhere to. The plastic's fragility was astonishing, which explains why the sensor was malfunctioning... I will upload a photograph tomorrow.

Greetings, I attempted to detach my coolant temperature sensor, however the plastic material was too fragile, causing it to crumble. Two metallic prongs remained, prompting me to use pliers and exert force to extract them. The remaining material consists of plastic, with the sensor firmly embedded inside the aperture. There is nothing to pull on. Do you have any suggestions? Have you ever encountered this dilemma? Will the brass/metal have a pliable texture when I gradually remove the fragile plastic? I have limited options in each situation... Presently in a state of utter impasse (both literally and symbolically)... I will upload a photograph tomorrow.

The parking sensors of the 2015 F10 535d have malfunctioned.

May I have a photograph of the defect on the vehicle's display screen, please? Thank you. -

Once I successfully activate my OBD port, I will then proceed to give information that has a striking resemblance to what you are seeking. 🙂 -
Apply lubricant to all the components of the lock.

She bought a new laptop that came with a trial version of Microsoft Office or a similar software, which turned subscription-based after about a month, maybe Microsoft 365, but I am not certain since I mostly use Apple products.

I purchased a remote and navigation package for my GLC for £204 including VAT for a 12-month period. I prefer the navigation system in my GLC over Waze, despite being in the minority. Mercedes sometimes makes peculiar judgements, but this is not uncommon among car manufacturers. My weekly dining expenses, which include cover alcohol, are almost the same amount as the rates for the Mercedes, so relatively speaking, the Mercedes costs are not too high. My wife's annual membership for Microsoft updates costs around £70 and is hardly used.

Seeking a legal advice on lemon law
Craigbelont replied to jimmy47785's topic in General Discussions
If you are leasing, I recommend advocating for complimentary payments. Initiate a discussion first, since it is unlikely they would buy without discussing it. -

Engage in a conversation with your dealer (service manager/general manager) and then determine whether you need legal representation. -

If you own a pressure washer, here are the necessary steps to do the task independently. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tongdejing-Pressure-Undercarriage-Straight-Extension/dp/B08GRJ49LV/ref=sr_1_3?crid=393K4BXF7JZZO&keywords=under+car+pressure+washer+attachment&qid=1673255259&sprefix=under+car+,aps,158&sr=8-3 -
Intermittent indication of low coolant level
Craigbelont replied to Screwdriver_1's topic in General Discussions
Ensure that you fill the coolant up to the maximum line, since the low coolant sensors on R8 vehicles tend to be quite responsive. -
I often use the air conditioning system while using the heating function throughout the Winter. Given our relatively temperate Winters, it is more pleasant to remove the moisture from the atmosphere on gloomy, rainy days. Although I cannot provide an exact measurement of the cabin's temperature, the presence of drier air creates a perception of coolness, suggesting that the air conditioning system may produce less heat.
