  1. McAfee has acquired my information and is incessantly urging me to renew my protection. To the best of my knowledge, I have never engaged in any transactions with McAfee. Whenever I block it, it reappears. Is there a method to permanently obstruct it?
  2. Thank you for the suggestion: I purchased some 1.2W LED counterparts on eBay, and they provide sufficient illumination to observe the surroundings without being very intense.
  3. They lack intelligence, however they are preferable to having nothing. Furthermore, I would presume that increasing brightness without utilising LEDs necessitates higher power, resulting in greater heat generation.

  5. Thank you, but the matter has been resolved. It is a typical filament bulb, but I needed to manipulate the small brass components that establish the wiping contact with the PCB. Ultimately, clarity emerged
  6. The climate control in my 1998 R129 functions; nevertheless, despite substituting the bulb in the holder beneath the unit, the light remains nonfunctional, leaving me in obscurity, if you understand my meaning. The old light had evidently burned out. My multimeter indicates that the replacement bulb is functional and has a secure connection to the holder. Inserting it into the unit's underside requires a push and a 90-degree rotation. I have completed this action, but I suspect it is not establishing proper contact, unless there is an internal malfunction. Does anyone possess experience with this? Thank you.
  7. I presume your vehicle is more recent than mine (May '17), which may account for the absence of required repairs on yours. The inspection video explicitly indicates that my front suspension is under recall; thus, I will pursue this matter further. Notably, the service assistant failed to inform me, but I have already addressed this issue with her and am determined to resolve it. Had she acted accordingly, I would not have departed from the dealership until I uncovered the truth. As a follow-up inquiry, how were you informed about the recall or the need to verify?
  8. They did not respond to me. Additionally, they must address a leaky F/O/S driveshaft seal, but that is a separate issue. If they do not call by noon tomorrow, I fully plan to see them in the afternoon.
  9. Greetings, everyone - I have a question and would appreciate any insights. Yesterday, my E43 had its first service. Upon conclusion, the dealer provided a video of the ocular inspection. The technician in the video indicates that the front suspension (struts) are subject to a recall and states that the repairs have not been completed due to the extensive nature of the operation, necessitating an additional visit. Notably, the service customer assistant made no reference to it when she provided me with the 'report,' and it is absent from the checklist sheet. I called today to make plans and, after a prolonged wait on hold, was informed that they will return my call (I have not yet received it). Has anybody else had recall work performed on their E43s? Can anybody provide guidance in obtaining a conclusive explanation? Any counsel or sharing of experiences would be much welcomed. PS. I have seen that E43s in the United States are subject to many recalls, although I cannot discover any information about the UK.
  10. I provide electricity to my rear Nextbase dashcam using the provided cable connected to the power outlet in the trunk, discreetly securing the cable as needed. Indeed, one may see the lead; but, who gazes backward?
  11. As already said. This appears to be a boost or sensor problem rather than a gearbox issue.
