  1. Although I personally don't use comparison services, it is really a wise suggestion to consider using them, especially considering the potential fluctuations in insurance rates that young drivers are likely to encounter. Thank you
  2. Thank you. We purchased a Fiat 500e and first insured it in my name at a favourable price. Subsequently, I included her as a designated driver with a temporary permit, which was a sensible decision. Today, I updated her status to a designated driver with a full licence, which remains a good choice. Over time, I anticipate that she will use it more often than I would. Therefore, I am proactively preparing for the future by obtaining a separate coverage for her. Currently, I am operating the vehicle and am currently seated within it. The air conditioning is on when the vehicle is being charged at a station.
  3. Can anybody recommend insurance firms that provide reasonable rates for newly licenced young drivers?
  4. It is advisable to wait until the summer season, as it will be more convenient to remove the item when the temperature is high. Alternatively, you may also use a hair dryer to facilitate the removal process.
  5. To clarify Recently, I inspected a C63 with 70,000 miles on an 08 model. I was interested in it since it was the least expensive non CAT D vehicle listed on the market, priced at £20,950. The film was really disappointing and the motor was producing a banging sound due to a leaky exhaust. Upon my inquiry, the vendor assured me that he would have it inspected. The item was promptly withdrawn from online sales and subsequently surfaced at another retailer in Northern Ireland. I examined a few crude ones. A sum of £17500 would not be sufficient to purchase a substantial amount, since it falls even below the trading value.
  6. Seems very inexpensive I would use extreme caution.
  7. We will keep him in consideration. Since Griffiths Mercedes in Bristol is nearby, we plan to take it there next week. We will then observe the outcome. Thank you once again for your assistance. I appreciate it.
  8. DSM10000 , Thank you for the guidance and instructions. I will definitely give them a try. 👍🏻
  9. Apologies if this is not the appropriate forum, but my friend's 2010 E350(?) convertible is unable to retract its roof. The device is completely non-functional, with no audible or tactile indications of activity. Is it possible that the issue is as simple as a blown fuse? Which location should I inspect to verify and identify the specific fuse?
  10. I believe that is a feature that is available as part of the factory configuration.
  11. I am aware that there is a scarcity of fuel, and many of us are facing the same situation. Are the Nox sensors priced at £1000 for the pair? The cost of an Adblue tank is around £1000. The purpose was to inform you in order to prevent any costly surprises. The 350 is an exceptional diesel engine.
  12. Prior to making a decision, ensure that you have thoroughly familiarised yourself with the issues surrounding adblue, Nox sensors, and the clean air zones in adjacent cities. Does your diesel vehicle accumulate sufficient mileage?
  13. Installed a new thermostat housing equipped with new sensors and updated the cabling connected to the sensors. The fan functioned well for a period of time. The fan operates continuously and turns off about five minutes after the system is switched off. Suspecting that the issue lies in the Engine Control Module (ECM)!
  14. The thermostat housing has two sensors responsible for regulating the temperature of the fan.
  15. I failed to specify that the vehicle in question is a 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman. If I remove the sensors on the thermostat housing, the fan will continuously operate without stopping. I am disconnecting the higher plug.
  16. Motor The fan was continuously operating, but after replacing the thermostat housing, the fan no longer activates even when the temperature reaches 108°C. Once again, I have replaced the thermostat housing with a new brand, but it still does not function properly. When I disconnect the harness at the thermostat housing, the fan turns on around 10 seconds later. However, when I reconnect the harness, the fan immediately stops. In addition, the fan fails to activate when the temperature reaches 95°C when the air conditioner is running.
  17. Installed the resistor according to the instructions provided by Alex Crowe. The engine was started without the Inlet port shutdown motor engaged, resulting in the automobile driving for a short while before entering limp mode. Next, I installed the resistor onto the plug by connecting a 4.7kOhm resistor to the two centre connectors. The vehicle operated normally, and after 3-4 restarts, the engine light turned off. As mentioned in other reports, this modification is considered successful and may potentially save you a significant amount of money. Can someone provide information about the location of the swirl motor flaps? How can one determine if the valves on an OM642 engine are in the open or closed position, considering that this may vary between various engines? Thank you.
  18. Has anybody successfully installed a 4.7k Ohm resistor to the connection of their intake port shutdown motor? This resistance deceives the Engine Control Unit (ECU) into believing that the motor is functioning well even when it fails. By doing this, instead of spending a significant amount of money to replace the motor, you may just add a resistor that costs only 5p. When the motor malfunctions, the flap automatically returns to its default open position, unless it is obstructed. To resolve this issue, just install the resistor, and the automobile will operate smoothly. It may also be necessary to remove any error codes. The primary function of the swirl motor, as I have gathered from my research, is to alter the airflow from laminar to turbulent flow. This alteration facilitates combustion by enhancing the mixing of air with fuel. The functioning of this system seems to be nonsensical to me and I find it to be superfluous, since it generates more complications than it is beneficial, in my perspective. I will attempt to do an experiment on my own and observe the outcome. Specifically, I will be focusing on the S320 model.
  19. Here is some maintenance advise on EGR systems from an American truck fleet magazine: https://www.fleetowner.com/running-green/fuel/article/21701173/egr-systems-can-run-cleaner-with-premium-diesel
  20. I get why individuals are dissatisfied with the prospect of black, sooty emissions being reintroduced into the intake manifold and consumed by the injectors. However, I strongly advise against tampering with the EGR system since it plays a crucial role in reducing NOx emissions. Which are detrimental.
  21. I strongly discourage anybody from tampering with the vehicle's emissions control systems, since it is a self-centered and thoughtless act towards others. However, based on my understanding, the act of removing the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system is not explicitly prohibited by law. Refer to the information provided below: https://www.hypermiler.co.uk/technical-guides-and-faqs/is-it-illegal-to-remove-or-disable-your-egr-valve
  22. a new failure code of 4293 was detected in the internal control unit. I am uncertain about this particular matter.
