  1. Purchase the car, since the owner's identity is mostly inconsequential. Whether it is a dealer or a doctor, the primary focus should always be on acquiring the vehicle. I have seen some quite disappointing vehicles on the forecourts of MB agencies, as well as some highly unscrupulous individuals attempting to sell a car of excellent quality. An elderly woman I was acquainted with severely damaged her automobile and collided with various objects, all the while neglecting to have the car maintained due to her seldom usage of it, under the misguided belief that its newness would ensure its proper functioning. If you are able to "obtain it on a ramp," it would be much more advantageous, particularly if they are familiar with it.
  2. Perhaps a malfunctioning calliper piston? Any garage should be able to diagnose the issue without difficulty.
  3. Yes. I completed this task a fortnight ago. The same bothersome sound persists when the fan speed is increased to 4 or higher. Disassembled the blower and surprisingly discovered a solitary desiccated leaf resting in the blower spindle. Reassembling it resolved the problem. The leaf entered because the inadequate filter had completely deteriorated. Acquired a fresh housing lid from the dealer, which includes a revamped filter (the new one is white). However, I have not yet installed it.
  4. Are the automatic lights and automatic wipers functioning properly? I inquire because if the camera/sensor module is not functioning correctly as well, it is very likely that the screen has been changed but not restored properly.
  5. In my experience, the camera-based speed limit assist system only responds to the most recent speed limit sign it detects. I am uncertain about the functioning of this system in France, where the signage displaying the name of the town or hamlet signifies the commencement of a speed restriction of 50 kilometres per hour.
  6. In brief, the answer is NO. A more extensive response will be provided below... Various specification levels have distinct devices that function in varying ways to recognise speed limit signs. For instance, the simple specification limit recognition system relies just on cameras, but the more sophisticated version incorporates satellite navigation data in addition to camera recognition. I am unfamiliar with the specific combination of versions and option packs available for French-spec cars. However, you should be able to determine the features of your particular vehicle by consulting its build sheet. If the more sophisticated version is installed, a pertinent inquiry might be, "is the satellite navigation mapping current?".
  7. Today, I inquired about the topic once again, and although being instructed to respond with "don't know," I perceived that Jupiter Red is increasingly becoming a concern.
  8. I recommend that you refer to my previous article about lacquer peel.
  9. That is an excellent reference / piece of information. It is desirable that the information has been included into a comprehensive database accessible to all individuals after its first posting. It is remarkable that the provided link remains functional as well.
  10. Did we get satisfaction from the excursion? Affirmative.The term "thumb" may be translated as "sans doute" in French and "sin duda" in Spanish. Due to the anticipated traversal of rugged terrain characterised by poorly maintained, narrow roadways, we made the decision to forgo use the SL. I considered using my Discovery vehicle; but, due to the limited width of some streets, it would not have been feasible. Consequently, we opted for SWMBO's Audi A1, which effortlessly navigated through these tiny passages and exhibited a far higher fuel efficiency, achieving double the mileage per gallon compared to both the SL and the Discovery. I have developed a strong affinity for the Pyrenees, with a particular focus on the Basque Country and Catalonia regions. Over the last 25 years, I have had the opportunity to visit this area around 15 times. Additionally, I have actively participated in rallying events on several occasions, using either my MGB GTV8 or MGA for these purposes.
  11. The photos shown in the preceding piece depicted a street in Catalonia that had a significant decrease in activity or vitality. Here is an improved version:
  12. I have just returned on a journey that took me from Bilbao, via the Pyrenees, continuing through France till reaching Nice, and then returning via Cherbourg. There is no issue in obtaining E5 at any point along the trip.
  13. I have never had any problems with the employment of Surfex. Initially, I used it in spray bottles purchased from eBay, and now, I employ Slims dual trigger bottles for this purpose. In what context did you use it? Even when diluted at a ratio of 10:1, which may be considered somewhat concentrated, it does not pose any significant concerns.
  14. In the event that one does not place significant emphasis on electronic features, it is advisable to consider purchasing the ordinary alcantara M Performance wheel, which is available at a significantly reduced price. It generates a similar sensation.
  15. Indeed. The installation instructions provide all the necessary information. Are you intending to purchase the wheel in a brand-new condition?
  16. I own a wheel, which may be described as quite commendable. Although I hardly use the digital display, the weight and quality of the material are exceptional.
  17. The W177 A-Class has a high susceptibility to scraping when encountering speed bumps and road cushions. Undertray injury seems to be a common occurrence among many individuals. There is currently no evidence of anyone modifying the ride height of vehicles in order to increase ground clearance.
  18. Had they performed task B and replaced the air filter, the total cost would have amounted to £484.
  19. Indeed. Please direct message me so that we may arrange a resolution.
  20. Although this post is outdated, it is necessary to address the issue at hand. Greetings, do you provide loom adapters for LED rear lights?
