  2. It is important to note that the vehicle has a manual 5-speed transmission and a factory dual-mass flywheel.
  3. Greetings, world! I need assistance about a conversion. I own a manual Mercedes-Benz W124 vehicle equipped with a 2.5 turbodiesel OM602 engine. This vehicle is equipped with a dual-mass flywheel, which is now unavailable for purchase new. I have started the assembly of components for a 5-speed gearbox refit to the basic mass-flywheel gearbox model 717.411-, which has been adapted for different OM602 and petrol counterparts. I have purchased a basic mass flywheel with the code: 103 032 1401, which, according to my research, corresponds to an M103 3.0 or 3.2 petrol W124. My issue pertains to the compatibility of the flywheel and clutch, namely if they are plug-and-play, and the potential danger of injuring the crankshaft owing to the flywheel being sourced from a petrol type. I appreciate your assistance in advance.
  4. Thank you. I have contacted the former owner via email, seeking the removal of the automobile from her account. I will await her respons
  5. Thank you for your response! I purchased the vehicle from an Audi dealership in Tunbridge Wells. I contacted them about the MM ID and Dart Charge two weeks ago. They said they would address the matter, although I have received no more communication, and the vehicle remains registered to the prior owner. I could more easily contact the prior owner to request her to deregister her ID using the app, if feasible. I must also recommend that she delete the vehicle from her Dart Charge account; otherwise, she will be surprised when I need to collect my daughter from Stansted across the Dartford crossing next week
  6. Greetings everyone, I just acquired a 2021 GLA 200 AMG, with which I am really pleased. The Mercedes Me account remains registered to the former owner. I comprehend that a Mercedes dealership have the capability to deregister the account. Regrettably, the closest dealership is a considerable distance away, and I presume there will also be an expense associated with the servicing. The email address of the former owner is shown in the Mercedes Me ID. Consequently, I am able to email her. My inquiry: If I reach out to the former owner, can she delete her MM ID using the app from her house, or must she deregister the ID while present in the vehicle? I must contact her as the automobile remains registered under her Dart Charge account, preventing me from registering it. Consequently, she will incur charges each time I utilize the Dartford crossing. Thank you very much

  8. The brake light switch is a viable option and a simple, inexpensive DIY task. Approximately ten pounds for a switch from your local automotive supplier. The sensor ring on the steering wheel is also an option. I cannot recall the name. I had a similar issue with my CLS55.
  9. It may be a remote possibility, but are the springs installed inversely? The flatter end should be oriented towards the top mount; according to WIS document ar32.25-p-1018cw.
  10. I believe it is imperial red, a hue more characteristic of the 1990s, often seen on R129 and A124 models. At times, it seems to be a shade of red that is less intense than signal red. At times, it seems more maroon. This is an amazing R129 in the same hue.
  11. Comparable to the restoration value of any other vehicle, provided that one does the labour independently and gradually, the expenses become manageable. Once you assign a value to your time, often no vehicle is worth repairing. The body is intact, with no corrosion on the floor, including the brake lines, exhaust, or suspension components. The driver's seat is somewhat worn, while the remainder of the inside, save the wood, only need cleaning. I believe the individual from whom I purchased it was a firefighter, as indicated by the stickers on the vehicle. He is a commendable individual and a forthright communicator. His physique resembled that of a bodybuilder or American football player, which may explain the damage to the front seats around the shoulders. Leather is not resilient to perspiration, which may occur while leaving a gym while wearing a tank top and possessing broad shoulders. It is not an issue; I will get a suitable passenger seat cover on my next trip to London or purchase a new one.
  12. I have recently acquired this. It is quite worn and requires a head gasket, although it has promise.
  13. It is not particularly expensive. The refurbishment of my unit by ECU Testing incurred a cost of roughly £180, as it was displaying several speed sensor codes. You may contact the company, and they will be quite helpful if you articulate the symptoms. I possess a 2007 E320 CDI. It is possible that the gearbox is not the source of the issue; still, I am astonished that there are no fault codes present.
  14. If it like my w211, there exists a distinct compartment for six CDs in addition to a CD/DVD player. I am uncertain regarding your specific vehicle; but, it may possess a singular CD slot containing a disc that requires ejection. To insert the six CDs, you may need to utilise the glove compartment or trunk, or, in the case of my 211, a panel discreetly retracts from the central console in a manner reminiscent of James Bond. It may be entirely incorrect, but it is worth attempting. The handbook will likely provide that information; I may examine it out of interest.
  15. Intriguingly, I generally maintain mine on map and hybrid settings by default. Perhaps it is the reason I do not encounter the issue.
  16. Do you utilise a CarPlay dongle? When I utilise my device and keep it plugged in, it resembles a lottery in attempting to predict its initial setting.
  17. It is peculiar that they are exhibiting an open circuit; typically, resistance increases as they deteriorate. The standard resistance measured between the glowplug tip and the adjacent head should be approximately 2 ohms; upon failure, this often increases to around 40 to 60 ohms. Failed one.
  18. Reasonable price, if of adequate quality, should facilitate a swift sale.
  19. My primary dealer currently costs me £10 per plate. Merely a few years prior, the cost for the pair was £10.
