  1. I just had a front and rear camera package fitted by Braybrooks. The installation of the device was executed proficiently; nonetheless, a notable issue persists: the rear camera fails to record while the device is in Driving mode. The device is capable of recording in Parking mode and provides a live preview on a mobile device. However, after attempting various settings adjustments, reformatting, and performing a factory reset, no recordings from the rear camera were successfully saved to the SD card when in Driving mode. The 'Sport' mode, which effectively operates by capturing footage at double the frame rate, only utilizes the front camera and is unequivocally off. Has this issue been experienced by any individuals? The current firmware version of the dashcam is 1.01, indicating a potential need for an upgrade. However, doing an online search for "MB dashcam firmware update" yields unsatisfactory results.
  2. ...are you referring to the practice of cleaning cylinder heads and suspension components by placing them in a dishwasher, or rather, using a degreaser for this purpose?
  3. Please initiate contact with MB Newcastle through their eBay shop, providing them with your vehicle registration number, in order to get a quotation from them. The alternative option may provide a more affordable price point, particularly for independent consumers. In such cases, the preference for authentic products is understandable, as it minimizes the likelihood of customer complaints arising from the potential ineffectiveness of cheaper alternatives. This approach aligns with the business's interests and objectives.
  4. If the appropriate component number is obtained, it might be prudent to contemplate the purchase of second-hand authentic items from eBay, priced at a minimum of £8 per unit, ensuring that the paint color is accurately matched. If one is engaging in a do-it-yourself project, it may be considered a reasonable investment at a cost of around £25.
  5. There is no practical justification for engaging the services of an authorized dealer to do brake pad replacement. The task at hand is very straightforward. Either a brake expert or an MB Indy would be suitable options. (Notably not affiliated with Halfords), this particular task does not fall under the category of a "Service History" essential assignment. With the exception of those who engage in the practice of driving with constant pressure on their brakes, which is seen in certain cases, the aforementioned measurement seems to be dubious in nature. What is the condition of the tread on your tires? If an individual consistently engages in abrupt deceleration, a substantial amount of rubber residue will be deposited on the surface of the road.
  6. Thank you for dedicating your time to sharing those photographs. Regrettably, the inside of your vehicle exhibits significant dissimilarities from mine, rendering your proposed approach unsuitable for my circumstances.
  7. I find it intriguing, and I want to investigate more on the matter tomorrow. I understand the sentiment you expressed on the need to disengage, since I had a similar situation before. I ultimately engaged in a vehicular excursion with the head unit protruding. It is quite advantageous to once again own the CarPlay feature.
  8. Thank you for responding promptly to my inquiry. I am inclined to pursue a course of action that is more radical in nature than the one previously considered. I successfully inserted a coat hanger through the area located right below the glove box in order to pass a couple of wires through for connection to the electrical box. However, this method does not enable repositioning objects to push the head back. I intend to remove the glove box tomorrow.
  9. Greetings, Although I acknowledge that this post is dated, I kindly want assistance in understanding the process you used, as I have just installed CarPlay on my own device. Regrettably, I have invested a considerable amount of time, over three hours, in my attempts to successfully reinsert the unit into its designated location.
  10. I use cost-effective soap-infused pads, namely generic brand brillo pads, for the purpose of cleaning glass surfaces. This method proves to be effective due to the inclusion of a built-in lubricant, requiring just the application of water for optimal cleaning.
  11. I agree that they possess a slender physique.The possibility exists that it may have incurred damage and subsequently undergone replacement. The vehicle has been elevated using jacks and thoroughly examined, revealing no indications of any kind of impairment.
  12. I see the points you have made, but, it is worth considering that if there had been any damage to the cill, it would be peculiar for the original stickers to appear flawless. This is because achieving a perfect match would require spraying the affected region. Alternatively, may these also be substituted?
  13. scholarly style. The aforementioned person has lately undergone a replacement, maybe as a consequence of unanticipated circumstances, rather than as a result of any intentional or inadvertent event.
  14. Greetings, everyone. The individual, who has just acquired ownership of a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, is celebrating their milestone of reaching the age of 50. I own a single door cill plate for the "Mercedes" brand, specifically designed for the driver's side, as well as another cill plate with the "AMG" insignia, intended for the passenger side. Is this phenomenon considered typical or has it undergone alteration? Both of them lack illumination. It is really peculiar to contemplate the possibility of one being substituted and the characteristics that a typical automobile would possess.
  15. Hello, I am unable to perceive any instances of turbo cutting. I am typically able to audibly detect them. On a horizontal plane, I am able to achieve a velocity of around 45 miles per hour during a duration of approximately one minute. However, when encountering an upward slope, my velocity decreases to 25 miles per hour, and the perceived power output diminishes to an estimated 10 horsepower. I express my gratitude for your assistance.
  16. Thank you for your prompt response. I have replaced the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and subsequently operated the vehicle with the sensor uninstalled. However, the vehicle continues to operate in a restricted performance mode, with no activation of the turbochargers. Furthermore, an attempt was made to disconnect the other sensor on the air box, nevertheless the driving behavior remained same. I am now perplexed and contemplating the matter at hand.
  17. Additionally, it is important to get the diagnostic trouble code P0101.
  18. Thank you for your response. The glow plug relay was disconnected and then tested, revealing a voltage reading of 12 volts at each terminal. The engine starts smoothly, with the glow plug indicator extinguishing after a brief duration, indicating their satisfactory functioning.
  19. Hello, I am now facing an issue with the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) on my 2007 Sprinter 315 CDI vehicle. Despite my attempts, I have been unable to successfully clear the code, and it has persisted for a duration of one week. I have changed the mass airflow sensor (MAF) but the vehicle is still experiencing a restricted performance mode. Any assistance or guidance would be much appreciated.
  20. It is pleasing to see that it functions very well.
  21. Your favorite activities are probably claying, polishing, and waxing:) It's perfect for the automobile.
  22. I had to replace the tires on my wife's XC90 after just eight months and four thousand miles. I can declare without hesitation that Rainsport 5 tyres are not a suitable fit for a sport utility vehicle
  23. The two central wear bands were completely worn down upon closer inspection in natural light.
