My R55 Clubman has exhibited a dashboard light problem in recent months, which I have traced to the left rear light cluster. The indicator primarily malfunctions, albeit it operates intermittently at times. Although it now sometimes also affects the brake light. I am unable to predict the efficacy of my indication. Indicates a defect in the light cluster rather than in the individual bulbs. Has anyone encountered a comparable experience?

It is a pleasure to get your communication.

Apply ceramic spray or Rain-X to facilitate water dispersion. I hardly utilise the back window wiper on my first-generation C-HR, and I understand that the second generation features an advanced rearview camera, rendering a wiper unnecessary.

Greetings, I have dispatched you a private message. Thank you!

I also utilise a thumb drive. The initial inquiry pertained to the functionality of an iPod Classic.

Specifically, the iPod Classic 7th Generation.

Why do you not drill out the broken nipple? Significantly more economical than substituting the calliper.

What is your complete chassis number?

Ensure the head unit's WiFi is configured in "Client" mode rather than "Hotspot" mode. Subsequently, activate Bluetooth, mobile data, and "Wireless Android Auto" on your phone. If that is unsuccessful, remove the phone from the head unit and from your vehicle's list in Android Auto, then re-establish the connection from the beginning. The connection is unreliable and occasionally requires a complete reset.

I consistently own the precise brand and model of tires at all times, but that is only obsessive-compulsive disorder. Two Continental tires in the front and two Michelin or Pirelli tires at the back will suffice. When changing the front tires, endeavour to get the same brand and model as the rear tires, but install the new tires on the back axle.

As already said. The infrequent extended run on weekends should suffice. If there were an issue, you would have already seen a notification on the dashboard.

The oil level sensor will not generate a code until it experiences a full short circuit. If it fails to accurately interpret its data and generate the appropriate signal (basically producing a different signal based on the oil level), it will provide anomalous results. Do not disregard that it is susceptible to oil and is electrical; it will ultimately deteriorate, and oil may infiltrate its inside. I had a similar issue with a cam sensor that exhibited no error codes; yet, the signal quality was poor when analyzed with an oscilloscope. Upon removal, I discovered a hairline fracture on the component. You lack a dipstick, making this your only method for verifying the oil level, unless you do the change yourself and are certain that all prior oil has completely drained. Simply replace the sensor.

My W204 had it many times; however, since it was always stored in a garage that I often used, I noticed the issue before it resulted in a depleted battery. Merely toggling the light switch to the 'on' position and thereafter returning it to 'off' consistently resolved the issue. I presume the reason is the SAM module that regulates the lighting. Activating and deactivating the lights transmits a new off signal to the SAM. I did not replace the SAM because to few occurrences, and it only activated one side light.

If the issue is to the brake switch, the dashboard will illuminate just when the brake pedal is engaged. If it illuminates upon key activation with the brake pedal disengaged, then the issue lies elsewhere. If it delays activation until reaching speeds of 5+ mph, it is likely that an ABS ring is rusted or fractured. These are all generalisations, but one must start the diagnostic at some point.
