  1. No, nothing; it remains in Lookers. Even when it fails to start, no error codes are present.
  2. I often need to separate and replace the negative battery connector; otherwise, the vehicle fails to start. Any suggestions? It has been in Lookers for six weeks.
  3. 2011 S-Class 350 Blue Efficiency. Occasionally fails to start. Remove the key, reinsert it, lock, and unlock. It commences after a duration of two. When it fails to start, the dashboard displays "Run Flat Unavailable" and the automobile skid sign is illuminated. Subsequently, it commences flawlessly. It may occur again today or in a few days. All readouts have been obtained, nevertheless the issue remains unclear. Express gratitude for any assistance received. Thank you, gentlemen.
  4. You may attach the motion sensors using adhesive tape, as others have already done.
  5. You may purchase it for a price of £10. However, it seems to be the portion intended for those who are reviewing the information after an accident. If the registration is detected on the Navigate system, you will be shown with the insurance information on the screen. This will include the policy number, the name of the insurer, and the contact details for making a claim.
  6. Is your charging cable insufficient in length, or is there a loose connection in either the plug socket or the charger?
  7. Yes, a quarter or 0.25 litres of this oil is beneficial since it has improved cohesive properties and increased lubricity.
  8. I often use a quarter of a bottle for this purpose. By adding some of it to the engine oil and rubbing it between your fingers, you can easily detect the difference between the two substances.
  9. Typically, people choose to purchase a 5-liter container since it is more cost-effective in the long term and may be used in various gears.
  10. It is of high quality. I have seen instances where individuals have caused damage to the camshafts of N14 engines, resulting in the oil light illuminating at idle. By adding a certain substance to the oil, the light may be prevented from turning on. This substance effectively increases the viscosity of the oil when it reaches high temperatures. However, it is worth noting that this practice is not advisable, since oil is typically tested up to 100 degrees Celsius, but the Prince engines operate at temperat
  11. The product I use is versatile and can be used in engines. It has a stop leak ingredient that helps seal and slightly thickens the oil, making it more adhesive. I also use it undiluted to assemble engines. You can find more information about it in the link below. https://www.lucasoil.co.uk/products/engine-oil-additives/lucas-heavy-duty-oil-stabilizer
  12. I use a completely synthetic 75/80 gear oil and enhance its performance by adding 300mls of Lucas oil addition. This combination really improves the smoothness of the transmission.
  13. Typical narrative of how a customer will use it. Either store it in a collection or drive it extensively, accumulating miles and potentially devaluing it by at least £30,000 when it comes time to sell. Alternatively, you may get a high-quality item, as suggested by Mike in his previous article, and use it for a few years. In all likelihood, you will only experience a little depreciation, if any, when you eventually decide to sell it. If the owner insists on their value, the inclusion of a buyer's premium will significantly inflate the ultimate cost, making it exorbitantly high.
  14. I am certain that this item has been previously available for purchase, or at the absolute least, there exists an identical item with a very comparable mileage. Finally, it was sold for a total of £45,000.

  16. After reviewing the policy online, I have found no restrictions regarding arson, unless you are the primary suspect. Since the dealership and your policy are both with BMW, I recommend contacting them directly to get a comprehensive explanation for their refusal to cover your claim. BMW flex Insurance is provided by LV and they may be contacted if necessary. If all other attempts prove unsuccessful, you have the option to file a complaint with the Insurance Ombudsman. I have included a PDF file that displays the pertinent pages extracted from the policy paper.
  17. You should be protected by the dealership's own insurance since they were responsible for the automobile.
  18. Valve seats may get detached in naturally aspirated (NA) engines. This may be verified by doing a test, since it has a very distinctive attribute. Typically, the misfire becomes noticeable while the engine is running at its normal temperature and is not under load. When the camshaft sensor is removed, the ECU switches to safe mode, which disables the variable valve lift. This prevents the valves from making contact with the valve seats, ensuring a tight seal and preventing any leaks. However, if you continue to use it in that manner for an extended period of time, the seats will finally detach.
  19. How were you able to locate it?
  20. I have renewed my insurance policy with Privilege, and there has been a little rise in the premium amount. Worth experimenting with, considering the possibilities.
  21. I believe that repairs are not recorded in the Digital Service Book (DSB) in any case. That is to say, just maintenance is provided. If all the services are performed exclusively at the dealership, the location of repairs does not affect the service history. Indeed, every MB Service History printout I have seen only includes Services A and B, without any further information.
  22. See if they go off after 30 seconds 🤔 if you try setting it.
  23. Do you have a look at the menu? You should be able to adjust the duration that the headlights remain on when the ignition is turned off.
  24. Most likely under a leasing agreement.
