  1. The MBC230K and MBE300D will be offered for sale at a future date. MBC200SE is, regrettably, an invalid number. I had developed a strong attachment to both plates; yet, MBE 300D (MBE 3000) is likely more marketable of the two. An someone attempted to purchase it from me during a traffic congestion on Southwark Bridge once.
  2. Thank you; I arrived to a similar conclusion and sought confirmation. There is a little possibility that an antiquated dumb battery charger exists at my mother's residence, and I shall attempt to use it first. It is essentially a singular issue, and battery longevity is not a worry as the W202 is nearing its terminal phase.
  3. Indeed, it is just to initiate the vehicle and transport it to the large scrapyard in the sky. It just requires the initiation of the engine. If all other options are unsuccessful, reconnect the battery located in the W202 trunk and establish a connection from the functional battery of the S205.
  4. My vehicle battery is very depleted, and I must persuade my RING RSC808 smart charger to start charging, since the battery cannot prompt the charger to commence at 0.0 volts. The depleted battery has been removed from the vehicle due to the absence of a charging facility in the subterranean parking garage. I believe I need a charged battery connected in parallel to persuade the charger to function. I will ascertain if my local garage has a charger capable of functioning from 0.0 volts (plan B). Am I proceeding correctly? I do not own an extra 12v battery. These intelligent chargers are lacking in many aspects.
  5. My early S204 (08 registered) C220 with NTG4 Comand has the battery located on the driver's side in the trunk under the floor. I am well-acquainted with it, having accessed it several times over our 12.5 years of ownership. Conveniently, I have a Lidl battery state monitor that is permanently linked and visible via the tailboard. If it ever indicates a red status, I can put an extension line into the boot to connect a charger while keeping the boot closed over the connection. Thirdly, with the ignition key in position 1, concurrently press the Answer Call, End Call, and OK buttons. After a few seconds, a menu will display. Press OK to monitor battery voltage and amperage before to engine start, followed by battery voltage and alternator performance post engine start. I wish I could replicate it on my SLK! As a pleasant distance cruiser with unexpected acceleration (although accompanied by black smoke under heavy acceleration), it achieves over 45 mpg in typical use. The principal issue has been the failure of paint lacquer over the years—having had the bonnet repainted twice, the roof twice (the second instance at no charge due to its proximity to the initial repaint), the tailboard spoiler and currently the nearside rear door, along with adjacent areas requiring attention. However, considering the vehicle's value of a few thousand, is it prudent to invest nearly one thousand to appease SWMBO's complaints?
  6. However, it is a valuable discovery. Excellent computer
  7. The number is 210. Given the current economic conditions, are you serious?
  8. The colour is navy. I cannot recall the specific name, but it is one of ten limited editions or something like.
  9. Hello, I am interested in selling my R8, but I am contemplating if it would be wise to wait and see if the Federal Reserve decides to reduce interest rates. Are there any economists here who can provide their insights? In my perspective, this matter deserves a debate, since even a little alteration in rates may significantly impact the value of an automobile, amounting to thousands of dollars.
  10. The eldest son has a Citroen C1, which is the most affordable option and also qualifies for free road tax. My wife and I are both listed as drivers on his coverage. He acquired a 10-month No Claims Discount (NCD) with Collingwood Learners, which was extended to a one-year NCD when we terminated the policy. I have comprehensive insurance coverage with Hastings, without the use of a telematics device, for a cost of £973.
  11. Not as severe as this. I was captivated by a really appetising Evo II being sold online.
  12. Can somebody provide the accurate component number for the 2009/2010 MCT? The part number I possess is A221 250 03 01.
  13. Prior to this, I had a total of 722,636 units from the W211 E55.
  14. I have successfully fitted an E63 MCT gearbox into my W202 C43.
  15. My next course of action would be to take it to an automotive gearbox expert.
  16. I suspect that the issue lies with the MCT, but I want absolute certainty. It is worth noting that a defective MCT will not generate a failure code.
  17. The gearbox I placed in my vehicle has no known history, save that it has been driven for 54,000 miles and has been well-maintained. I also performed a gearbox service when I installed it.
  18. The software on the TCU has been upgraded. However, local independent mechanics lack knowledge and are speculating on the issue, with one suggesting it is related to the gearbox and another suggesting it is related to the MCT. Both are just guessing, and I am reluctant to spend money on such uncertain diagnoses.
  19. There are no fault codes present, and the gearbox has been maintained. The issue occurs more often when the vehicle is in S or S+ mode, namely when the accelerator is fully pressed. However, if the vehicle is driven normally, the issue does not occur. The jerking motion might be forceful.
  20. I am experiencing a problem with the MCT gearbox on my 2010 E63. Currently, there are no error messages shown on either the gearbox or the engine control unit (ECU). The gearbox exhibits abrupt movements when shifting between gears 2 and 1, or 1 and 2, as well as while accelerating forcefully. However, during regular driving, the gearbox operates smoothly up to the 7th gear. Additionally, there is a tendency for the vehicle to go forward when it is stopped and in drive, even with the foot on the brake. Do you have any insights about the issue?
  21. Unless you get a tyre rupture on a 'smart' motorway that has a designated emergency lane.
  22. A staggered configuration, where bigger tyres are often used on the rear, is a prevalent practice. In order to verify the accuracy of the tyre sizes, please provide us with the specific model of your BMW. However, anticipate receiving several suggestions to discard the runflat tyres. Personally, I strongly support them.
