  1. The vehicle appears to have required merely a DPF regeneration. This is entirely typical, particularly if you predominantly utilise the vehicle for brief trips. If your driving primarily involves brief excursions of 5–10 km and you seldom embark on extended trips, I recommend steering clear of diesel vehicles. Contemporary diesel engines are adversely affected by interruptions during DPF regenerations. This may result in additional complications, such as fuel contamination in the engine oil, AdBlue crystallisation, and various associated problems.
  2. I appreciate the cordial reception - it pertains to the n57 - I will explore the forum for suggested oils and maintenance timelines. The map dates back to 2016, making the return trip from the dealer an amusing experience with a depleted phone battery. I simply need to purchase numerous accessories, such as a boot liner and roof bars, etc. - I am extremely enthusiastic about this car, although I feel a sense of melancholy bidding farewell to the Z4.
  3. I assume you were referring to AGM! Absorbed Glass Mat batteries contain an electrolyte gel that is retained within a fibreglass mat and, to my knowledge, are hermetically sealed.

  5. I have merely perused this discussion thread. A few enquiries: for what duration have you possessed the vehicle? Have you purchased from an M-B dealership; has it been maintained by them and is it current? I understand the vehicle is several years old, yet if it possesses a complete dealer service history, it might include their Mobilo Life coverage, which could allow you to request a diagnostic visit. I am confident that additional individuals will join, given the numerous terms and conditions; however, the primary stipulation is that maintenance must adhere to the schedule and be performed at an M-B dealership. If that is not the case, are you affiliated with one of the breakdown services, such as AA or RAC, and do you possess home start coverage? Once more, you might be able to arrange for a technician to visit and diagnose the issue with your vehicle. If the issue extends beyond the battery and they are unable to resolve it immediately, you ought to request that they transport the vehicle to a garage of your preference. The issue may lie with the battery, as previously mentioned by others; should you procure a replacement, verify the appropriate specifications for your vehicle (some models possess dual batteries, though I am uncertain about yours) and opt for an OEM brand such as Bosch or Varta; select a battery with a five-year rating. Although substituting the battery will undoubtedly pose no detriment, there exists the potential for other issues to be present. To ascertain the appropriate battery type for your vehicle, input your registration number on the website provided below, navigate to the car batteries section, and it will specify the correct battery model for your car, along with a selection of compatible batteries from various brands; it is advisable to opt for one of the premium brands listed, yet it is prudent to compare prices as they can differ markedly between retailers (occasionally by as much as £100 for the identical battery!). For instance, if a website indicates that your vehicle requires a type 019 battery, it is likely to present various options available for purchase; however, if you also explore platforms such as eBay or Amazon, or simply conduct a Google search for a type 019 car battery (this is merely an illustration and may not pertain to your specific vehicle), the results will yield numerous vendors, revealing considerable price disparities for the identical battery—thus, it is advisable to compare prices.
  6. Would the operating costs be significantly different for a Mercedes SL500 or SL55 AMG? I'm considering making a purchase. I'm currently in the market for a second E46 M3 manual that hasn't been raced around Bradford, Birmingham, Bury, or Blackburn, and I'm willing to spend up to 20,000 GBP on it. I'm not afraid of the astronomical repair bills that come with my 2003 911, though. Any suggestions? certainly less agro as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My sincere appreciation, everyone
  7. Hi there, I'm crossing my fingers that this is the correct forum to publish this on. However, I am overjoyed to have just acquired an R129. Putting on a set of AMG BBS staggered alloys is something I'm really looking forward to. The Two Piece AMG wheels, I think you might say? Sure, I've perused all the copies on eBay, but I was hoping someone would have a set they're selling or at least suggest a good place to hunt. A long shot, I know, but nobody gets fed if they don't speak! In advance, I appreciate it.
  8. You can have dash cams that combine the front and back cameras into one, but the downside is that the back camera could get blocked by things like seats, passengers, or even the rearview mirror (depending on where you are).
  9. I also prefer Blackvue. There is usually a method to mount a rear-facing dash cam on a soft top. You could get in touch with TTW in your area; they're top-notch; I saw you're in Nottingham.
  10. You might be OK if they're already droopy. However, when you squeeze the bag, you'may' be resisting pressure. Seems like there's a way to open the air unit's valve with a PP9 volt batteries. Surprisingly, the man failed to bring up polarity. I only have two pins, but he was performing it on a three-pin version. Insignificant detail. Both deflating at the same time suggests that the valve block is likely to pass. Out of the blue, mine dropped. They are both over 16 years old, so I decided to replace them.
  11. I was really confused till you retrieved it. I was apprehensive about disconnecting the air supply line while the bag was still under pressure. I was wrong to be, though. After removing it, I deflated using the diagnostics. With the tire removed and the bottom bolt of the bag removed, I was able to hear the o/s bag hiss as I deflated it with the jack. To activate it, you must continuously press the F3 key. The PC was in the driver's seat, so I couldn't hear anything from the n/s. However, it's likely that they were too far away. After taking the electrical plug out and removing the bolt at the wheel hub of the rear arm, which allowed it to be pulled lower, the bag could be manoeuvred to come out by lifting it off the arm and guiding it to the back. It may be helpful to loosen the bolt at the base of the damper and pull it out to create an additional inch or two of clearance. Although it is not necessary. The new Arnott A-2726 (both units are the same) is easy to install in my instance. There are diagnostic functions that can inflate, but it is not immediately clear if this is having any effect. So I put it on wheels and went for a drive. Until the level sensors were filled to the exact mark, proceed slowly. I will make sure it no longer leaks by monitoring it overnight. There is no functionality in iCarsoft V2 for this. A more suitable setup was at my disposal.
