  1. The colour changed to green, indicating that gases are leaking into the coolant. The garage claims they can't determine if it happened three days or three weeks ago. Now I have two options: either search for another garage that is willing to fix it, which will cost me over £1,400 (or 70% of the car's original price), or try my luck in court with scant evidence, such as the fact that the mechanic has flushed the radiators and coolant and there's antifreeze on a couple of receipts, and his firm denial of any head gasket problems. My head gasket has definitely blown.
  2. just in that situation I paid 2k for it, its in great condition exterior and interior wise but if its gonna need a head gasket my price goes over 3400+ into the car, i like it its cool but they seem to think sold as seen is the be all and end all blocked me on everything, they clearly knew something was wrong, but i mean if the garage says it has been long term there messages about the car when asked direct questions have all been lies so I guess id have to send a letter to them obviously th
  3. They simply stated that the car was sold "as seen." However, if the garage informed me that the head gasket was already there before I drove it, then technically they misrepresented the car. I contacted them to enquire about previous mot and repairs because I think the gasket is gone. They called me back saying they didn't know anything and that the car was sold "as seen." The seller must be guilty of misrepresentation and an unfit sale if, after my repeated enquiries, they provide answers such as "no," "not to my knowledge," or "I don't know."
  4. I have just bought a r53 cooper s 52 plate , I have driven it home and done a couple trips in it less than 450 miles since buying it privately he made me sign a sold as seen , however , I asked the seller multiple times does it have any head gasket issues , both him and his wife both said no I have documented this , the coolant is brown milky it has slight hesitation in first snd second half throttle , the paperwork he gave showed supercharger service , and multiple coolant flushes and a radiator flush 2 years ago , I didnt check the coolant stupidly as he told me there was no issues , theres no mayo under the cap or on the dip stick , could be oil cooler as it hasnt over heated and the needle has never gone a touch over dead centre, and the only smoke is from cold start a slight greying smoke for about 10 seconds or so and none when revved , how would you go about this , is it grounds for misrepresentation as I asked a direct question multiple times, has it been masked by the multiple coolant flushes , advice would be appreciated got a sniff test coming tuesday/Wednesday to do a quick test myself
  5. I'm going to attempt it. I'll try to find out if anyone can retrieve it.
  6. To top it all off, it's over twenty-two quid for a seemingly regular chassis bolt!!! If you know the measurements, your local factor or repair supplier probably has it for a couple of pennies.
  7. Towbars for cars that old aren't really common, in my opinion. However, in case it is of assistance, this is listed on eBay.
  8. However, my Night Edition 2022 does include sport, comfort, and environmental modes; it just lacks sport+. I wouldn't say it's jerky in sport mode, but the engine revs higher and seems somewhat less smooshy.
  9. Reading the codes is necessary for determining the source of the problem, as mentioned earlier. 'Sensor mat' or front passenger seat occupancy sensor failure is a typical issue. One more is a broken seatbelt buckle. A defective electrical hookup beneath the front passenger seat is an additional issue. However, there are other alternative explanations. However, unless you're handy with a wrench, this is not a problem that a do-it-yourselfer should attempt to fix. (To test whether the error code returns, you might use a scanner such as iCarsoft to delete it; nevertheless, it is quite likely that it will return.)
  10. I find it incredible that, similar to the R230 SL, the front seat airscarf fans are placed on the headrests and can be seen. rear wind deflector is aesthetically pleasing and may be used even while the rear passengers are still seated. Why isn't there an air cap system as in an E-class cab?
  11. Congratulations, MB, on your return to the major cabriolet market. I adore it
  12. I possess a 2020 C-Class coupe. The oil level has decreased to slightly above the minimum threshold (refer to the image). I returned it to the main dealer to ascertain whether there was a leak or if it was consuming oil. A visual check was conducted, and I was informed that there were no leaks and that the amount was acceptable, although being slightly above the minimum threshold, with no further explanation provided. The vehicle has barely accumulated 39,000 miles. I feel apprehensive over this matter. Do you have any suggestions?
