The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of using Bluetooth technology on the RRS CCF EDIT and L322 systems. Specifically, we want to examine the impact of Bluetooth connectivity on the transmission and reception of videos in these systems.

What is the reason for the auditory perception of the Rocky theme music now resonating inside my mind? -
The ignition is active on circuit 15. Most often, a black wire.

I should mention that my home base is Morecambe.

I appreciate the responses, but can anybody provide advice on what I should do now? I brought it to Mercedes as a last option after taking it to several other repair shops.

Blackpool is the closest and largest showroom to me, so you'd think they'd have star.

Hello, all of the aforementioned were tested after a diagnostic was performed. When I dropped off the vehicle, it went into a mode that wouldn't let me start it. The service center placed it on diagnostics and sent it to their tech team in Spain, so they spent much of their time waiting for suggestions. They were at a loss since no error messages were being shown. They claimed that they just replaced the ignition, but the problem persisted thereafter; yet, they refused to refund my payment of £900. Someone working on it has apparently been there for 15 years. The mechanics stated they can't repair the automobile without dismantling it, a time-consuming and expensive process. It's kind of funny that they can't even repair their own automobiles. I was just put off.

I've been the proud owner of a 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class for two years and 96,000 miles. Most of the gauges began flashing, the windows wouldn't close, and the wipers stopped functioning; turning the vehicle off in this state rendered it inoperable. Then I drove it to Mercedes-Benz of Blackpool. After spending a total of £900 on having a new ignition switch installed, as well as having the fuses replaced, EMC, and steering block replaced, nothing would turn over. The following items were removed, save the key to the car's ignition. They ended up changing a relay and warning customers not to return if the patch failed. I don't know what to do now if this doesn't work, but if people repair their own automobiles, they should be held responsible. If this does not work, any insight would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot

A Rover 3500 has been sitting in the front yard, rusting away, for quite some time now. I went to the guy's house to ask if I could buy his engine to put in my MGB, but he declined. It seems like it will remain stationary indefinitely. Parting Out: Rick's 1985 TVR 280i, 1978 MGB, and 1978 Spitfire

I hate to ask more questions, but what exactly are the cant rails you need repaired? The framing around a door? If so, they need to be away from the entrances to get them back. Those pieces of off-white vinyl? Do you need assistance locating the decorative welting or beading that tops the door rails? Images would be useful in this case.

Did they drastically enhance grip, braking distance, etc. during their brief existence? Or enhanced effectiveness when wet? A non-sport tyre's lifespan of 4,000 miles appears low.

What kind of data should be included on highway signs?
dave783 replied to John278's topic in General Discussions
Most of the previous responses hit the mark for me as well. I don't drive on highways much, but the few times I have there has been some kind of misinformation, like a lane closure or a speed limit modification that turned out to be false. I suppose no one pays attention since the "Cry Wolf" effect is at work here. Do we really need to be informed that there will be lines? If that's the case, we'd better pray for signs warning us of impending tractor, horse, cycling club, etc. traffic on rural roads. [rhetorical]We're in deep danger if motorists can't recognize a line even on a deserted highway. -
It's presumably so the key can be reached more easily or so there's more space to get in and out when they place the vehicle on a two-post lift.

Why not use Waze instead of Android Auto's built-in navigation app?

The conclusion to the adventure of Gollom's tires!
dave783 replied to WiseSage's topic in General Discussions
According to the flap that covers the gasoline filler on my vehicle, the recommended tire pressure for typical load usage on 17-inch wheels is 30 in front and 32 in the rear. -
dpf was taken away, and efficiency was changed. Mazda
dave783 replied to dave783's topic in General Discussions
One feels like they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. If I had known that the dpf was such a problem, I wouldn't have bought the car. Now I just have to deal with it. The MOT side of things shouldn't be a problem, since I think most companies that do this kind of work have MOT bays.... The remap I had done is crazy: in third gear at 30 feet down, it jumps to 80 miles per hour in just one gear. -

dave783 replied to dave783's topic in General Discussions
It is possible, but everything is reversible if the need arises. I have my own reasons for removing the dpf, and in an ideal world I would leave it in place, but the possibility of a £1000+ repair bill is not something I can tolerate. I will shortly have the injector seals replaced, once again as a precaution. I value this automobile and want it to last as long as possible. -

dave783 replied to dave783's topic in General Discussions
They even gave me a free oil change and filter change, so I thought it was a good deal. Even so, I gave them the oil and filter. -
Hi everybody, I brought my Mazda 2.0d 143 in to have the dpf pulled out and have a performance remap done. If you don't take out the spot welds on the shroud and physically take the dpf off the vehicle, you won't be able to tell that the dpf has been physically removed from the can despite seeming to be unaltered. I am aware that dpf removal is controversial, however mine was done as a precaution because I brought the vehicle (my whole inheritance) without being aware that it had a dpf.I wanted a diesel since in the past I had found that they saved me a lot of money on fuel, taxes, and other expenses. I didn't want to deal with the stress and inconvenience of having to drive the vehicle "properly," and the idea of diesel in my engine oil makes my blood run cold. The vehicle is much more polluted in the mornings, and sometimes while you're sitting at the lights, you get a whiff of pollutants through the vents, so I can say one thing about dpf: you notice its absence. I would recommend that if you can retain your dpf, you should. Since I have to maintain my car for at least 5 more years, I decided to future-proof my vehicle since I couldn't afford to have it changed. Regarding the remap, I just wanted to explore my options. rapidly right now.

Bore da, and please accept our sincere greetings on joining the group

Another compelling argument in favor of avoiding this automobile.
-
As a result of the differences in the car's mileage, the fact that it has been changed, and the color of the inside, I have no interest in purchasing the vehicle. If I had been considering making the purchase, the Facebook ad would have given me the option to ask questions. It was this particular check that led me to form my doubts.

Then, early this week, I came across this automobile that was up for sale on the AMK UK owners ads page on Facebook. Rotherham is listed as the location of the proprietors' business. Have you taken note of the mileage and the modification? For a Stage 2 modification to be covered by a warranty, there must be some kind of guarantee. What can I make out when I have a closer look at the license plate? A dealer in Nottingham had a vehicle with the same license plate as the one listed, but it had an additional 30,000 miles on the odometer and was roughly $5,000 more expensive. Now, I'm no sleuth, but something doesn't seem quite right here. I am no longer interested in the automobile, but I am curious as to what others think about it.

This particular automobile piqued my attention right away, and I've been keeping an eye out for W213 E63s here and there throughout the course of the last several months. Saloon was advertised as having 30,000 miles on it on eBay; there was no indication of any changes, and it was being sold by a vendor who had no prior sales history on eBay. This is the automobile. Take note of the registration and the fee being asked. According to my information, sales of this have been going on since the beginning of May. When I checked the MOT history, I saw that the mileage was approximately 40,000, which was far more than the 30,000 that was claimed. Hmmm.

It was nice to read the responses, and I believe I'll acquire one of those USB devices from eBay. CSK51's article was interesting; thank you. I suppose I'll learn to embrace ACC and the fine notion of not being able to overtake in traffic. My driving wheel has yes and no buttons.....I heard about people's distaste of steering wheel touch buttons and was anticipating them, but I also read elsewhere that VW had reverted them to buttons....so I just prayed mine had buttons, which it did. Does this imply that models lower than Elegance have touch buttons? I looked at a new Golf back in September 21, but the one I test drove had no CC buttons, touch or not...everything was done via the screen, which I despised. I have numerous Golfs and liked them...but the screen controls were a deal breaker for me. It just so happened that a buddy received a Tig Elegance and I accepted touch CC. Now that I have one, it works well for me. Yes, I would like genuine buttons, but this isn't a deal breaker as the Golf was. So, I'm still learning. The only thing that irritates me is receiving emails every time I use the vehicle. "Volkswagen AG: Services were deactivated in your Tiguan" email, followed by a list of what was deactivated. What is this all about and is it essential - should I be concerned - is anything wrong? - I presume not, but it's a hassle - should I label this as spam and have it automatically deleted, or should I simply put it in a place I seldom read.....or can I stop receiving them....do I need them? I believe Big Brother has gone insane! The only reason I joined We Connect was for satnav updates and live information. I can't think of any other explanation right now - I'm still searching. What does the Synchronising light on the CC mean? I'm assuming the vehicle is updating itself. Is this just when the ignition is turned on?
