Second restoration and detailing completed!
jimmy47785 replied to Motoman's topic in General Discussions
The CLK is truly a testament to your efforts. Exquisite hue as well. -
Indeed, my device malfunctioned recently, indicating that the vehicle was at home, but it was actually 11 miles away at the golf course. Currently functioning adequately.

Assistance Required for 2018 S320 Battery Issues
jimmy47785 replied to Mistral's topic in General Discussions
Possibly first equipped with a Tracker, which has a small rechargeable battery that is charged by the vehicle's battery. This diminutive battery may be defective; a similar issue occurred with a friend of mine. It took four months before someone made a diagnosis. -

Volume setting for exceeding the speed limit by 5 mph
jimmy47785 replied to QuirkEinstein's topic in General Discussions
The volume of the "over the speed limit by 5 mph" warning sound in the 2025 Toyota Camry LE is adjustable. This auditory notification is a component of Road Sign Assist (RSA) inside Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. It emits a beep when you surpass a certain speed restriction by a specified margin (often 5 mph, but customisable). Methods for Adjustment Utilise the steering wheel controls to navigate the Multi-Information Display (MID). Access Settings > Driving Assist (or Vehicle Settings) > RSA (Road Sign Assist). Choose the speed alert settings: Select either Visual only (disabling the beep completely) or Visual + Audible. Modify the excess speed threshold (e.g., Off, +1 mph, +3 mph, +5 mph). Adjust the alarm loudness, generally categorised as Low, Medium, or High, corresponding to levels 1 through 3. These configurations remain effective upon a restart of the vehicle in U.S.-spec vehicles. Owners of 2025 Camrys verify that the volume is entirely changeable or can be muted through these menus, distinct from navigation-related speed alerts (which possess a separate announcement toggle). If the specific menu path differs significantly on your LE trim, consult the digital owner's manual at Toyota.com or navigate to Setup > Vehicle > Driving Assist on the touchscreen for equivalent options. -
Indeed, I installed these when I replaced the entire suspension a few years prior. I sincerely hope this knocking is due to a little issue, but it increasingly appears to be related to the subframe mounting points. This vehicle does not justify the expense of the repairs.

I examined my strut tops and do not believe they are distinctly mushroomed. Perhaps marginally. I placed a ruler on them, and there is a tiny curvature; I am not if this is typical.

Affirmative. Inspected them yesterday. One was recently substituted.

I will examine it today and provide updates with photographs.

2003 BMW 330d Sport Touring, 6-speed manual gearbox, about 149,000 kilometres. I have been pursuing a persistent knocking noise in the front end for over a year and have explored numerous sites for solutions and recommendations. I changed the entire front suspension, including the bushes and both inner and outer ends of the rack, approximately 10,000 miles (3 years) ago. Recently inspected, and they remain structurally sound. Recently replaced the lower control (lollipop) bushings. I have recently replaced the rack with a refurbished one. Recently substituted the shocks and top mounts with Sachs, as I intend to sell the vehicle, although this alteration appeared to have no effect. The steering column link was removed and appears to be in excellent condition. Today, I detached the drop links and circumnavigated the block; the knocking persisted. I am aware that it is not associated with the anti-roll bar in any kind. I also navigated it over several curbs cautiously, and it appears to be more problematic on the front left. All components were torqued upon installation and subsequently re-verified. The only components on the front that I have not changed are the engine mounts; however, the issue does not appear to be related to them. Do you have any recommendations? (apart from incineration, I am inclined). I sincerely hope it is a little issue and not related to the front subframe mounting points. I intend to sell the item, but it is resisting my efforts. It seems to possess an awareness of my intention to sell it.

I consistently replace my key fob batteries at servicing appointments; the expense is little and easily recalled as it is noted on the calendar (other memory aids are available). I use Varta, which has shown reliability so far. They also installed the doorbell, which I did concurrently.

Is this the one? They may exhibit some reluctance to replace it. It is advisable to maintain pressure on them to rectify or replace it.

Possible MOT failure if the headlights are fogged and do not properly focus on the test target on the day of inspection. What is the anticipated arrival date of the new headlamp? Depending on the specifications, these systems may be rather costly and difficult to get second-hand.

Combining tire brands on several axles
jimmy47785 replied to Blu_Ray_UK2007's topic in General Discussions
It may be satisfactory, but it may also be really dreadful. You will soon discover. It may create a jittery situation and be very hazardous in damp conditions. I would definitely choose for all four on a 600SL. These vehicles should seldom activate the traction light unless used foolishly; nonetheless, swapping tires causes it to illuminate continuously. Not universally applicable; some combinations are acceptable, but ensure they possess a comparable tread pattern and load rating, among other specifications. I can now identify it immediately, having seen it many times on vehicles, and it is becoming more apparent. Particularly about more powerful vehicles. -
My just acquired, gorgeous black automobile! I had vowed to avoid purchasing another black vehicle, although the SL seems most striking in black. The paintwork seemed as if it had endured several "inside-outside" vehicle washes over its existence. Subtle scratches, bird lime residues, and many swirls! Engaged actively in the task at hand. Initially, I believed it would become a routine, so I refrained from overreacting; instead, my OCD intensified until I achieved a state of relaxation. Upon its arrival at home

Residing in Devon entails anticipating some misfortunes to have a balanced existence. I want for your Mercedes to recover quickly and maintain its improved condition.
