Provide the findings for each phase of the test with greater precision than merely indicating 12v or 13v, etc. -
93C2 SBE Seat Mat - Potential MOT Failure?
CyberNinja replied to p00rmansp0rsche's topic in General Discussions
They should not occupy the seat; instead, they should test the belt to ensure it stretches, retracts, and secures properly. I previously used an emulator and felt that adequately resolved my problem. -

Utilize an original equipment Toyota seal for reassembly, after the identification and resolution of the issue. -
Driver side axle bearing? Excessive noise
CyberNinja replied to keithmerc220's topic in General Discussions
A bearing need not be loose to be defective. I had defective rear bearings that were not loose, hence the traditional method of gripping the tires at 9 and 3, or 12 and 6, may provide misleading results. In this instance, it does not seem to be wheel bearings based on your description, except for the increasing noise with speed, which is a common indicator of faulty wheel bearings. My expertise is only with automatic transmissions; thus, I hope someone knowledgeable in manual transmissions may contribute to this discussion. -

Driver side axle bearing? Excessive noise
CyberNinja replied to keithmerc220's topic in General Discussions
No, do not use a drill on the axle nut if you are referring to an impact wrench. This action should only be undertaken if you are certain that you are replacing the hub spindle wheel bearing and only for its removal. Upon replacing the bearing, the axle nut must be tightened using hand tools and a torque wrench. To achieve speed, use a low-powered impact on the lowest setting until it is almost seated, then manually tighten it using a torque wrench. Indeed, many may use an impact on it, but it is inadvisable since the impact disrupts the ball bearings inside, so diminishing their lifespan. A bearing may be defective even in the absence of clicking sounds. To assess the bearing, rotate the wheel and compare the auditory output with that of the wheel on the passenger side. Additionally, you may detach the wheel and rotate the hub on both sides to assess the auditory differences. A defective wheel bearing produces a dry rubbing or friction noise rather than a quieter, smooth rotation. Removing the caliper first helps facilitate the process, since it may be difficult to work with the brake pads on. Bearings may produce a howling noise when speed increases while driving. Examine your CV axle for any apparent damage. Are any of the boots damaged and leaking grease? Are the CV axles genuine stock parts or aftermarket components? This question is significant. Automatic or manual transmission? -

Automatic or manual transmission? Are you certain that the noise is originating from the transmission? Could the noise be solely attributed to the CV axle shaft? Or maybe the genuine wheel hub spindle bearing? Could you perhaps provide a video including high-quality audio of the noise? I have completed the removal of both the wheel hub spindle bearing and the CV axle. The CV axle is removed from the gearbox, and it is advisable to replace the round seal while access is available. Does the noise intensify or vibrate more as speed increases? If that is the case, it is likely the wheel hub spindle bearing, but the original equipment manufacturer bearing never fails in the Gen 9 Corolla. Is there a clicking or banging sound, particularly during turns? If that is the case, it is likely the CV axle shaft. The original equipment Toyota axles are much superior in quality compared to aftermarket CV axle shafts, but at a greater cost; alternatively, you may explore local shops that provide axle shaft rebuilding services. -

Inspect the MAF wires and assess for boost leaks, since hose splits may be inconspicuous. -

acquiring a vehicle from Northern Ireland

I cannot confirm, however I would be rather astonished if Northern Ireland people are unable to acquire Northern Ireland MoT data in the same manner as we can for vehicles tested in mainland Britain. -
acquiring a vehicle from Northern Ireland
CyberNinja replied to jimmy47785's topic in General Discussions
A courteous inquiry to the seller, indicating your inability to obtain the NI data in England, may be appropriate. Regardless of the cause, NI MoT records remain inaccessible on the gov.uk website. I assume that pertains to access to the pertinent data of the appropriate NI agency. -
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.

Deregister the former owner's ID from Mercedes Me.
CyberNinja replied to CyberNinja's topic in General Discussions
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 -
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
