My 2007 Japanese import ML included a built-in feature to display information in either English or Japanese; therefore, once the appropriate menu is located and English is selected, I am confident that the same applies to that model. It is likely that this has already been accomplished; if not, request the vendor to resolve the issue—any of the principal importers of Japanese used vehicles would possess an individual knowledgeable in this matter. (As a side note, it had not been completed on my device, and the minor seller from whom I purchased it was unaware of the procedure. Consequently, I randomly navigated through all the menus available, all in Japanese, until I encountered one menu featuring a single word in English - "English". Pressed the '+' key—possibly the '-' key—but the concept is clear, and success ensued! All organised. The challenging aspect will be the radio, as the Japanese utilise a distinct segment of the frequency spectrum for their radio transmissions compared to Europe. Comand Online, or Braybrook's in Welwyn, located near the selling dealer, can provide you with an estimate of the cost.

Other equipment, such as control boxes, where moisture penetration occurs, lead to the formation of galvanic bridges across circuit board (copper) traces. The outcome is either open or shorted tracks, some of which may appear as dark contaminations or carbon deposits on the circuit boards. I have successfully repaired circuit boards with damaged copper traces, but not those exhibiting short circuits.

Models from the 2016 model year and later, equipped with LED headlights, use QR-paper labels that specify the LED colour batch and the parameters to be transferred to the headlamp controller (including DC current settings, among others). Videos on YouTube demonstrate the headlamp initialisation method performed using the Xentry diagnostic system. It is imperative to never remove the QR code from the headlamp. Capture images of the QR codes and retain the photographs for potential future use. The bulb shown seems to contain far more water than what is typically attributable to standard condensation, a common issue with many Mercedes headlamps. Is there a fracture in the housing? Mercedes has launched kits including Silica Gel bags intended for placement into headlamps experiencing condensation. The lights must be removed to install or replace bags containing moisture-saturated silica gel packs. A further error has been positioning the light's controller in some models near the base of the lamp, just where water intrusion accumulates. In my humble opinion, it is completely foolish.

acquiring a vehicle from Northern Ireland

The first MOT for a Northern Ireland vehicle occurs after 5 years, in contrast to a Great Britain registered vehicle. If it is quite recent, that might elucidate the matter. -

acquiring a vehicle from Northern Ireland
AMG33D replied to jimmy47785's topic in General Discussions
I have just verified my sister's vehicle in Northern Ireland (with Ulster plates) using this page, and all the data and information are shown. -
The Valeo part number 835013 is designated for compatibility with a Sprinter vehicle. This configuration is shown to accommodate 350 horsepower, hence an OM602 will not pose a problem. However, note that using this kit on your engine necessitates either deepening the center bore of the flywheel by 3mm or reducing the spigot on the engine crankshaft by 3mm. Failure to execute one of those actions will result in improper seating of the flywheel on the crankshaft.

JayEmm Automotive Evaluations (The Collision)

Although there were no deaths, I believe that the automobile driver had significant injuries but is recovering. -
Highly intriguing A few weeks ago, I test drove an E63S estate and noticed a rattling, rather than a squeak, emanating from the back, which I suspected was due to the detachable and retractable boot lip component. while I agitated and shook that component, it rattled similarly to while I was driving it. However, it seems that your squeak originates from behind that trim piece, of which I possess no knowledge about its concealed elements. Apologies

Removal of stainless trim around windows on C207 E-Class coupe
AMG33D replied to BEERMAN's topic in General Discussions
Commendable for you to confront the issue directly and thereafter disseminate your insights to other members - well done. I would not do it myself, but I commend you for your effort. I was curious if you captured any photographs of the procedure, as these may potentially enhance your instructions if available. Just a consideration. 🤔 -
It appears to be in limp mode, which is likely related to the engine; nevertheless, it is unusual for it to be in limp mode without any fault codes present. The yt 642 exhibited same behaviour when my turbocharger experienced a loss of boost. If the engine is not generating sufficient power, the gearbox will not shift up until it reaches high RPMs. Stuttering resembles engine noise more than gearbox sound. Regrettably, all of this is somewhat speculative from this distance.

Greetings, Could anyone with a 2021 E Class Coupe C238 provide a photograph of the under-boot area? I recently purchased a used model and discovered the absence of a tyre inflation kit, which I was informed should have been included from the factory, given that it was equipped with run-flat tyres. I can readily obtain an equivalent item from Halfords, but I would want to view an image, if possible, to ascertain the appropriate placement of the Tow Rope box and Emergency kit. Thank you in advance.

Judicial Discontent Regarding Credit Hire Expenses

It seems that even judges want their opportunity to appear in court.
