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)
AMG33D replied to jimmy47785's topic in General Discussions
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.

Released from my dealer...

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
AMG33D replied to clk320x4's topic in General Discussions
It seems that even judges want their opportunity to appear in court. -
Thank you for your response; I completely concur. This is only my understanding; no court or official agency has corroborated it, thus the question marks. If it is really the day of signing, then that is the situation, naturally. In summary, I get that it is a lengthy and probably futile procedure. Thank you

I have an unusual scenario, and I aim to articulate it clearly without excessive elaboration. My last inquiry will pertain to three specific matters: what actions would you do now? I believe I submitted the vehicle inside the warranty term, but Mercland disagrees. Mercland has sold me a non-existent warranty. Mercland has operated my vehicle upon certification of its repair for personal use. In January 2023, I purchased an S205 estate with an extended warranty from Mercland. January 16, 2023 I received my automobile from Mercland (Nuneaton) at my residence and can confidently assert that I am a proud owner of a Mercedes-Benz s205, 64 plate. Within a few days, I saw that the automobile took longer to start than usual. This marked the start of a seven-month period characterised by fluctuating travel to Mercland, during which I was without the vehicle for a total of six weeks and accrued over 2,000 more miles for 'test driving' purposes. I express it as 'this' because I received penalty penalties in the mail for unpaid tolls in London (about 3 hours distant / 140 miles from Mercland), which I find peculiar given the significant likelihood of the vehicle entering limp mode. Following the seven-month period, the vehicle was in satisfactory condition, and all repairs fell inside Mercland's six-month guarantee, which was acceptable. In September 2023, the Audio 20 system malfunctioned. A failure I encountered online is not unusual. Mercland informed me that this is now under the extended warranty (RAC) and no longer covered by Mercland. Understood. I was unaware of this, since I had never gotten any information about RAC and had previously assumed that the warranty was entirely with Mercland for its whole period. The RAC website indicates that the garage would provide all repair details, and I anticipated being called. I purchased the service at Mercland and then forgot about it over time. On January 7, 2025, I took the vehicle to Mercland for a comprehensive service. On the morning of January 11th, my automobile failed to start at my residence. This is the point of intrigue. The AA, sent via my insurance, came on January 12th in the early morning but was unable to identify the issue. An emergency vehicle was sent to remove my automobile. I contacted Mercland, since the vehicle is under repair there and I purchased the warranty from them, to enquire whether they can accept the car. That was feasible. While en route to Mercland, I sent a detailed email to elucidate the car's issues for the technicians' assistance. I also enquired about the specifics of my warranty, since it is set to expire on the 16th, two years from now. They did not respond to it. I requested the information by phone, and the representative assured me they would email it promptly; nevertheless, I never got it. I believed that Mercland would reach out to RAC, as indicated on the RAC website, and that Mercland would thereafter manage the situation. However, after many days, it began to irritate me, prompting me to request it again by email. Jay said that sales had ceased and that accessing the system is challenging, but he will send me the information at his earliest convenience. Furthermore, he said that the warranty would have lapsed by now anyway. I am still awaiting information on the warranty. I acknowledged that the warranty has already expired, but it was valid when I brought the vehicle in, and I would contact him the following morning. Consequently, I proceeded to do so. During this period, I spoke with RAC via both phone and email, receiving responses indicating their inability to locate any information on myself or the vehicle. I informed them that the warranty would have expired by now. I spoke with Janki, who confirmed that you purchased the automobile on January 4th, thereby initiating the warranty at that time. I was astonished. I said that the automobile was delivered on the 16th, although she insisted that the 4th was the correct date. After some debate over the phone, I initiated a hypothetical situation. I purchased a vehicle on January 1 without an extended warranty, hence the coverage lasts just six months. I will get the automobile on March 1. Is the subsequent two months of warranty rendered ineffective? Janki said that this is excessive; the purchase should occur in one or two days, but this is too severe. I said that mine is 12 days; where do you establish the boundary? She did not respond to the inquiry. The vehicle has been repaired after over four weeks, indicating that it has been at Mercland for more than ten weeks within a two-year period. Upon retrieval, I enquired once again about the warranty details. She resumed with the fourth item, which has now expired. I recognised and said that this is not what I enquired about. I would want to see the warranty paperwork, as I need to verify if I really had a warranty with RAC, as you said. She would send the details the next day. I did not get it and emailed a courteous reminder at the end of the day requesting it for the following day. No response received. I sent an email to RAC, the National Conciliation Services, and Mercland. I said that I would take action since this is fraud. Mercland has sold me an item that has never existed. It incurred additional expenses, and I would not use Mercland for comprehensive auto servicing if not for the guarantee provided by them, since there are Mercedes experts nearer to my residence. Upon returning the vehicle, I reviewed the dashcam video. I see many distinct excursions undertaken by the owner with my automobile after the notification from Mercland that the vehicle is prepared for collection. For instance, trips to their residence or delivering a package for mailing. This occurred without my notification. This concludes my narrative, and I pose the question: what actions would you do now? To recover the funds disbursed and to inform the relevant parties that Mercland has perpetrated fraud by compensating me for the use of my vehicle. Thank you everyone for your time!

It is hoped that a satisfactory used automobile warranty accompanies the purchase.

A few months before, my GLC entered limp mode on a chilly, icy morning after 500 yards, with no fault codes present. Parked and powered off, then restarted. It has been satisfactory since then. If it were a constant occurrence, I am certain we would all see it. I would attribute yours to a malfunction for the time being. Until you get that juncture.
