If the headlight reflector is only filthy and not broken, it may be cleaned safely. Conduct a search on the maintenance of telescope mirrors and adhere to the guidelines provided. The process is introducing a heated amalgamation of alcohol, distilled water, and pure soap into the headlamp, agitating it, and then performing a rinse with distilled water before drying. I performed this to clean my motorbike headlight reflector which at the time was 40 years old and extremely dull. It significantly enhanced the light output.

The transformation of washer fluid into a gelatinous substance is a prevalent problem, often resulting from the amalgamation of several windscreen washer fluids. Adhere to a single brand, and such an occurrence should be avoided. The gasoline flap should have been a warranty issue; however, because it was caused by the filler cap strap being lodged in the hinge, the dealer would contend that it resulted from user mistake. I am not advocating for this; I am only presenting an alternate perspective. The gasoline flaps on Kia vehicles seem to be susceptible to not aligning properly, and several discussions on this issue exist here. Maintain the fuel cap handle in a horizontal position, since this seems to be an effective option for the majority.

What is the extent of the corrosion? Merely superficial matters? whether so, I would do many abrupt stops from speeds over 60 mph to see whether it improves their condition.

I was referring to a broader context, not only automobile manufacture. For instance, what if the expertise and capability to manufacture high-octane gasoline were to be lost? Consequently, high compression (SI) engines are not feasible. However, we cannot be quite certain that we will not need a high compression (SI) engine at some point in the future. Such matters.

Connect a set of jump leads to another vehicle and allow it to idle for a short while. This will provide sufficient charge for the C-tek to operate.

I am uncertain on the nature of your grievances. The cost was £40 for each upgrade at the dealership, with no option for self-service, even inside the first year. You now own an alternative.

Somewhat peculiar My 2023 Excel Hybrid 2L had little engine vibration, but only within a certain narrow RPM range, which may have been attributable to the vehicle being new and during the break-in period; hence, some engine harshness was anticipated. Aside from that, the ride was pleasant on most highways. The new MK2 CHR Hybrid PHEV 2L is notably more refined and silent.

No, absolutely not, and I am not very fond of Bridgestone tires. I installed them on my Honda and Kawasaki bikes and discarded them soon after acquisition. My CHR PHEV Design has enhanced smoothness at higher speeds, showing no indications of instability on various road surfaces, save on really difficult terrain. The UK is plagued with potholes and deteriorated asphalt; yet, the vehicle normally manages these conditions well, despite the subpar Falken tires. Previously, I have tested demo automobiles, and they exhibit little similarity to the current vehicle in terms of noise management, among other factors. If this persists, I recommend seeking a another dealership, unless the Turks have developed an aversion to Toyota Corp and are improperly installing or deviating from the stipulated suspension, which I find very improbable. The enigma intensifies. What is the UK market equivalent of a CHR Limited?

I have not observed that my CHR MK2 Design PHEV is equipped with subpar tires, namely FALKEN, which has a commercial affiliation with Toyota. They are rumbling and loud in contrast to Michelin Sport, which offers a smoother and quieter ride; yet, the car's ride is not jarring like my last unpleasant VW Troc. Your CHR seems to be incorrect. You may need to verify the tire pressures, since they might be overinflated, and ensure that the tires are properly balanced. I would consult a tire and wheel professional for reassurance.

What is the maximum tyre size and width that I may use?

I already mentioned my preference for using tires with the specifications of 245/30 R20. However, I must admit that I had some difficulty in comprehending the information provided on the page.

I own a 2021 Range Rover Evoque vehicle, namely the P300e SE RD variant. I now have 235/50 R20 tires and I want to switch to 245/30 R20 tires. My issue is whether or not I can use these tires. If I am able to, I must purchase wheels. Therefore, I would want to know the appropriate size of tires for these wheels.

Not a problem, don't worry! I am certain that the moderators will not ban you from the forum! 😁 -

Which iteration of the Proceed model do you possess? You are likely to get a greater number of answers if you publish your message in the appropriate sub-forum. -
For those who have installed non-original exhaust systems
Darrellll replied to Darrellll's topic in General Discussions
Yes, it is in great condition and was removed from the vehicle after it had been driven for 3000 kilometres. -
What did you do with your original equipment manufacturer (OEM) exhaust? I chose to retain my original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components, anticipating the possibility of selling the R8 in the future and having the flexibility to restore it to its original condition. However, after I completed the installation procedure, I found it difficult to see myself being willing to invest the time and effort required to do the task, or to incur the expense of hiring a professional to do it. In addition, the Kline Inconel exhaust is not too noisy, so it is unlikely that the future owner will choose the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) exhaust over it. The item is occupying precious space in my garage, and I am contemplating either disposing of it or attempting to sell it. Has there been a significant rate of success in selling the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) exhaust, or is it not a profitable endeavour?

It is very unfortunate news because Ricaro seats were the preferred option for any youngster with any means of transportation in the past. Particularly the enthusiasts of FORD, both male and female!

Perhaps the issue is with the wrench rather than the bolts?

Issues with the E63 AMG MCT gearbox

What became to the original gear box? -
Issues with the E63 AMG MCT gearbox
Darrellll replied to Paulinelinker's topic in General Discussions
Was the issue present prior to the service? At what mileage was the service performed? The amount should be around 37,000 initially, followed by subsequent amounts of 30,000 each. Requires the expertise of a professional for examination. It remains speculative until you can limit the possibilities. Has the TCU (Transmission Control Unit) received an update? There might be a multitude of possibilities. Consult with a Mercedes-Benz expert or specialist to examine the issue for you. As mentioned before, the changes might seem more abrupt when driving aggressively compared to driving in a more controlled manner. When I experienced a vibration originating from the gear box, I discovered that the issue was with the gearbox mounts. Replacing the mounts resolved the problem. In my own opinion, I believe the MCT to be really satisfactory and reactive, albeit it lacks the seamless operation of a TC automatic gearbox. However, both varieties have advantages and disadvantages. The M mode is appropriate if you choose to engage in a recreational activity. The D setting is optimal for regular driving. Success S+ I often have confusion and struggle to adjust to my preferences in either an upward or downward direction. The outcome is entirely contingent upon the conditions of the road and the flow of traffic. -
Issues with the E63 AMG MCT gearbox
Darrellll replied to Paulinelinker's topic in General Discussions
How long have you owned the car? Has this behaviour occurred just recently? It might be beneficial to consider doing a gearbox oil filter replacement. Alternatively, you might seek the expertise of an automotive professional. Does it exhibit improper behaviour in all gearbox configurations or just in D mode? The gear changing in sport mode is much more aggressive compared to D mode. Is it possible for clutches to be worn on the clutch pack itself? while the sport gear box option is engaged, shifting from 2nd to 1st gear may seem less smooth compared to while in D mode, since the gear box only descends to 2nd gear. In my own opinion, I believe the "d mode" to be the most seamless configuration, particularly when used in a more relaxed environment. -
I estimate that the cost of this service at a dealership, which includes key replacement, programming, and coding, would be about £400 to £500.
