  1. the Cooper S four-cylinder turbocharged engine.
  2. Greetings, My offspring is coming to visit. He operates a 2019 Countryman. He observed oil fumes emanating from the engine compartment in recent months. We inspected the engine compartment and I detached the cowling, observing oil accumulation in the channels directly beneath the rocker cover on the front (radiator) side of the engine. The oil loss is minimal. Do you have any hypotheses regarding the likely origin? I am aware that these engines contain numerous plastic components that may be susceptible to malfunction.
  3. Deserving of a spin in one. Impressive performance compared to the 1.8 GR Sport caught me off guard. Understood about the wheels. A size 18 is required.
  4. In general, I am quite pleased by the apparent improvement in quality. Costs £38 per month for three years with one maintenance visit and three services total. I will compare prices at renewal, even though insurance is a bit more.
  5. Amazon.co.uk : GR sport
  6. I see. After driving a Dynamic and the GR Sport for nearly two years, I'm ready for a change. I got a Lexus LBX Vibrant Edition because I didn't like the new CH-R style. I'm really impressed with it so far. 👍

  8. It seems like there's a stopped relay somewhere. The good news is that the battery's warranty should cover the cost of replacement if this is a major unit in the battery pack. I'll try to find the specific battery warranty details online and provide them to you. When someone else had the same issue a few years ago, I was able to assist them. You can find it here.
  9. A cable or WiFi connection is necessary for AA to function. Bluetooth on its own is insufficient.
  10. Before you start the engine, check the car's seating position. Does it lie flat on every side? When you press the airmatic button to raise or lower the automobile, you should see the rear end move in response. On each side of the valve covers, look for signs of oil leaking. Resolving this issue often takes a couple of hours of manual labor on an M113 engine.
  11. If a CLS2 hasn't had maintenance in 40,000 miles, I'd give it a low price, same as before. However, Jay at Mercland is selling it, and his automobiles are of the highest quality. No one has ever complained about his autos. Having 120k on these engines is irrelevant if they have been maintained on time, and CLS3 sounds realistic. No more than two services per year, or 11,000 miles, should be recorded in the service book. In my opinion, £8,000 is a fair price for a 2008 CLS500. It would be nice if the driver's seat was cleaned, and not everyone likes wood paneling. The bright inside is an improvement above the standard black. Make sure the electrical components are functioning properly, and inspect the pad thickness and disc brakes for signs of lipping if you decide to examine it. Feel free to negotiate any amount of wear. Those round quad pipes are an aftermarket exhaust system accessory as well. I also wouldn't disregard CLS1. I am not really concerned about heated seats. Never did my E55 heated seats function. I wasn't missing them. On this one, the price and mileage are more reasonable.
  12. It sounded like the hose was about to overheat at the same time as the noise, but it seems like it just went up and over the strut and then vanished.
