  1. I have observed some impairment to the loom. Previously, it experienced severe roughness, and the auto electrician discovered damage to one of the injector feeds. I will call him tomorrow and persuade him to join us. I appreciate your counsel.
  2. It is feasible, as I have encountered that problem previously, yet I cannot discern anything apparent.
  3. The fob battery has had its protective film taken off; I am already aware of this, can you surmise how? The primary battery and the supplementary battery both exhibit a satisfactory 12v measurement (the fob battery was also tested at 3v). I lack the means to assess the primary battery's performance under load for amperage, but that is irrelevant if I cannot start the engine. I have additionally inspected the fuses and relays.
  4. The two new batteries are completely charged. The key fob is unable to unlock the doors, yet it can rotate in the ignition switch, although the dashboard lights do not illuminate.
  5. 2013 CLS 250 model. Remained seated for 14 minutes. Both batteries are depleted and have been substituted, along with a new fob battery. I was required to utilise the mechanical key to unlock the vehicle, yet nothing occurs when I insert the fob into the ignition. Is there a procedure to reset the fob so that it can recognise the vehicle and vise versa?
  6. Whether they were factory installed or added as an aftermarket upgrade also makes a difference. Always remember that it is against the law and counts as a MOT failure to modify an existing fixture to accommodate LED lights.
  7. My 2019 C Class, which had the previous infotainment system, COMAND NTG 5.5, is identical, thus I assume this is a part of the MB. On the other hand, someone familiar with MBUX can probably confirm. The 2020 Vauxhall that my son drives has a far more spacious Android Auto display.
  8. I don't think locking nuts are necessary anymore because alloys are so common, unless the wheels are exceptionally unique. Other perspectives would be interesting to hear. In terms of a specialist, I would recommend Mercland as Nuneaton is not too far away.
  9. Even though I've never used one before, I picked myself one of those sticky string kits because my son raved about it while stationed in Kenya. After a few uses, my pump is operating properly; the readings on my pressure gauge are very close to each other.
  10. It seems to me that the problems are unrelated. On several times, the DPF light has came on. However, after a bit of driving at 2500 rpm, it generally goes off. The EML has also come on a couple of times, necessitating visits to the neighbourhood repair shop. Not a single one of these occurrences has affected starting, and it continues to drive normally with either light turned on. I recall returning home from Stonehenge to Hertfordshire one day while both headlights were illuminated, and the vehicle operated as smoothly as though neither light had been turned on. I took it to my neighbourhood garage the next morning for a forced regeneration, and it began right away. About three years ago; I've owned the vehicle for seven.
  11. It would be the chain because the Op's signature reads 2017
  12. The radiator typically contains an ATF hear exchanger. However, ATF is reddish-brown and smells unique.
  13. A sump seal? Could you upload a picture? Are you positive it's engine oil and not ATF or coolant?
  14. Only a corrupt MOT examiner would permit a vehicle, originally fitted with a catalytic converter by the manufacturer, to pass the inspection without the converter installed.
