  1. Actually, I have a brand new NOS multipurpose stalk that I've never used, so thank you for that. I seem to have forgotten. Why don't I try releasing the seat's latch and pushing it forward to see if it moves? I noticed in the video that the left hand drive (LHD) passenger seat has an electronic control unit (ECU), but the right hand drive (RHD) driver's seat doesn't. Perhaps I should check under the passenger seat to see if there's anything there. It seems like they replaced the relay, but I need to check my invoices to be sure. I will clean it up. For some reason, I just can't seem to find the time to replace my front suspension (spring removal fear) because I have another work to look into.
  2. Hi Approximately ten years ago, I experienced issues with my windscreen wipers becoming stuck and the ASR light coming on. After bringing it to the local garage multiple times, the mechanic eventually informed me that he believed the problem was with the driver side seat convenience feature, which moves back when you unlock the car to make getting in easier. While driving along the M1 in heavy rain, the wiper became stuck again. I eventually figured out that the indicator stalk was to blame; by keeping it in a certain position, it started working again. However, it did not cure the problem. Today I recalled that the mechanic had disabled this "convenience feature"; I considered turning it back on, but I couldn't find any controls for it on the seat; perhaps the mechanic tinkered with the fuses or relays. Since I don't recall ever having this feature—or perhaps I'm just forgetting about it—I'd be grateful if someone could enlighten me as to what it is and how to disable it (the opposite of disabling is enabling). I really enjoy this handy feature on my wife's automobile!
  3. R230, I assume, is the generation in question. The Mercedes-Benz with its innovative but costly to repair and maintain ABC suspension, hydraulic roof, etc., is just as likely, if not more so, than the Porsche to rack up thousands of pounds in repairs and maintenance costs. Of course, you might not be experiencing any issues at all; after all, you could be relying solely on the stories you read about in online forums. Plus, the m113 engine is both innovative and somewhat resistant to damage.
  4. I appreciate your feedback, however those wheels are authentic MB 20-inchers. I will contact my local MB dealer to find out how much the key fob and coding will cost. Then, I will determine the price of the full service. Thank you everyone for your help; this is a wonderful community. I appreciate it.
  5. Hello, I am in search of some knowledge regarding a couple subjects. I've done my research, including checking with HP Finance to see if the vehicle has an exceptional MOT history, etc., and I'm hoping to purchase a 2019 E class convertible. If anyone has any ideas or can assist me figure out my concerns, please let me know. (1) The car only has one key fob. Can I just buy replacement key fobs from this major dealer, or is there somewhere else I can acquire one? Since it is behind schedule and missed a service, I was wondering how much the full service version will cost. The e-class is sitting on 20-inch wheels without locking wheel nuts; does anyone know where I can buy them, other than MB Main Dealer? (3) I'd rather not take it there. Much obliged.
  6. Discard the locking wheel bolts and replace them with regular bolts if that is what you mean. In fact, there might be a plastic container containing a set of four in your vehicle; during the pre-delivery check, the providing dealer will remove them and replace them with the locking ones. Wheel theft has been eradicated.
  7. Was the vehicle requesting maintenance? It could have been hoping for July's appointment.
  8. Chatgpt isn't perfect, that's why. Make sure you don't put all your eggs in the basket.
  9. Perform a multimeter resistance test.
  10. Yeah, it's a great sunscreen. In essence, a ceramic covering
  11. Sun protection is essential. Reapply every several years using gtechnic C4.
  12. With any luck, I'll be able to get my money back and get the right filter. Kia would likely refuse a warranty claim if they discover an aftermarket filter in your HVAC system and attribute any future problems to it. You can get one from Kia for around £15.

  14. Many respectable businesses are willing to do that... I don't have personal experience with them, but I think Lepsons have been brought up before:
  15. https://www.ebay.de/?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=707-53477-19255-0&campid=5338181125&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X4ce8f88edb63acff8597c352e617307e
  16. Some single-piece copies are available; they are virtually identical (with faux "bolts" around the rim) and cost a tenth of what the real thing used to cost. By the way, I was able to acquire an authentic R129 AMG accessories rear box through eBay.de — they are exceptionally uncommon because they were incredibly pricey when they were first released. Standard equipment with simple steel tailpipes facing downwards was even installed on the SL60 AMG.
  17. The actual name is "AMG I" 18" 2-piece, in case it makes a difference. The creator, BBS, nevertheless, is frequently brought up. In the front, you'll find the following dimensions: 18x8.5 ET 25, 245/40. Setbacks: 18x10 ET 25, 275/35 My wheels came from AlloyWheelsDirect, however you might try searching on eBay.de or another German site. They may be able to recommend someone who does, but they don't currently have any listed.
  18. Thank you, I get it! Should rats are present, it would be wise to prepare those peppermint oils.
  19. A few days ago, as I was running errands throughout the day, and as the day came to a close, the left turn signal began flashing suddenly. I hardly use them, therefore I don't think they will ever be worn. There is no rapid fire turn signal the next day. If the X3 can mend itself, please tell me.
  20. It's part of the job, and it can happen to any automobile, old or new. Just ask any technician about seized, rounded, or stripped bolts. They are typically not a problem if you have the correct equipment and knowledge, provided you have at least fair access.
  21. Your predictive text's ability to transform "Viofo" into "Voodoo" is very remarkable.
