Strong mental picture of a man who, eight months later, died on the Hogs Back while driving his Mk1 Jaguar "at speed" (supposedly 80mph) after passing his team manager's Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. Mike won that Formula One race just a few months prior to his retirement. Every time I look at the painting of Mike Hawthorne's face—which happens once a month—it terrifies me. What a youthful spirit.

So far, my air conditioner has only cooled the car's "interior"! 😉

Yes, mine remains set to auto at 19 degrees regardless of the season. It should never be touched unless her ladyship says it should be a little warmer or cooler, but the air conditioner never turns off. Ever. Additionally, it aids in preventing glass steaming and condensation in the winter and speeds up the drying process for wet clothing in the event of a rainstorm.

I understand, but there is still another contention that individuals without home charging cannot operate an electric vehicle.

The presence of chargers in supermarkets is an excellent concept, as the majority of us shop weekly and can recharge our devices simultaneously, thus saving time.

Given all that effort... LS swap 🙂

How did you attach the jumper cables? Should I connect directly to the battery or to the jump start terminal in the engine compartment?

Not obligatory. It pertains to its performance when subjected to stress.

Attempt to install an additional battery. It appears that the installed component has malfunctioned, and the internal resistance may be hindering the donor battery from supplying sufficient power to initiate the start.

The smoke machine, along with a reliable scan tool and real-time data, will make pinpointing easier. To test whether the problem lies with the pump or the cracked pipe, try disconnecting the fuel line that runs from the high-pressure pump to the fuel rail; in rare cases, this may work.

Yes, I suppose the AMG elements will be more expensive.

I take it that everything else is functioning well, but hold and cruise aren't? Are there no trouble signals at the cluster?

It seems to be rather prevalent. I'm finding my stride here...

Check this out. My money is on the oil filter housing getting cooled by coolant.

Salutations everyone! I have a question regarding the cam sensors for my E63 M157. MB sells them for about £65 each, but you can get Febi ones for roughly £15. Is there any difference in quality or anything else? I am grateful.

You deserve all the credit for keeping your MB looking so beautiful, since I adore her.

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.

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

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."

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

I'm going to attempt it. I'll try to find out if anyone can retrieve it.

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.
