Absence of ABS, ESP, and similar features.

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. -
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.

Upcoming project vehicle: W124 E320 Cabriolet
CyberNinja replied to CyberNinja's topic in General Discussions
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. -

Upcoming project vehicle: W124 E320 Cabriolet
CyberNinja replied to CyberNinja's topic in General Discussions
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. -

I have recently acquired this. It is quite worn and requires a head gasket, although it has promise.

Are my wheels the original factory colour?

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.

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.

W211 OM642 new glow plugs malfunctioning.
CyberNinja replied to DSM10000's topic in General Discussions
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. -
S211 E55K AMG Estate available on eBay
CyberNinja replied to ML350_Colin's topic in General Discussions
Reasonable price, if of adequate quality, should facilitate a swift sale. -
My primary dealer currently costs me £10 per plate. Merely a few years prior, the cost for the pair was £10.

WD40 is not a lubricant; it is a water repellent.

Utilise spray grease from an aerosol can equipped with a straw and direct it towards the pivot to resolve the issue.

UV protection is essential. Utilise Gtechniq C4 and reapply biennially. -
Service schedule for Mercedes E400d convertible
CyberNinja replied to Matt865's topic in General Discussions
Obtain a quotation for the upcoming service (or two) from your primary dealer, enquiring about any additional items due and their respective costs. Supplementary items are required dependent on duration or distance travelled. Numerous lower-priced estimates are less costly because they are incomplete. After obtaining that information, solicit quotations from several other garages for the additional items to facilitate a cost comparison on an equivalent basis. Upon receiving your quote for a service care plan, you will ascertain its value. -
Oil change intervals for the BMW 520D
CyberNinja replied to CyberNinja's topic in General Discussions
Thank you for your responses. Apologies for the typographical error; it pertains to a 2020 vehicle. -
I own a 2020 520D with a 2-liter engine. A mechanic, who is not affiliated with BMW, advises replacing the oil and filter annually rather than biennially as recommended by BMW. He is capable of doing the task, and the garage in which he is employed has the BMW software. He asserts that the vehicle will have less engine issues as it ages. I plan to sell the automobile when it is around seven years old. Do you have any recommendations or opinions?
