  1. The removal of trays from beneath for the MOT, as well as the inspection of plastic sill trims for holes, are prohibited actions. Failure to comply with these regulations would result in a vehicle without coverings being deemed unfit for the MOT. Additionally, the testing of seat belts in relation to child seats is also restricted.
  2. It is advisable to measure the voltage of both the newly installed auxiliary battery and the primary battery prior to starting the vehicle's engine. A reading of 12.6 volts or above is often indicative of a fully charged lead acid battery. However, it is worth noting that if you own an AGM battery, the voltage reading may be higher than 12.6 volts.
  3. The mine is entirely transparent. Ideally, the issue at hand may be resolved expeditiously with little effort.
  4. Based on my observation, it seems that the MB Star is not properly secured in its position. Specifically, one of the clips located towards the left center side of the vehicle, as seen from the front, is not adequately fastened. This suggests that the MB Star may not have been installed appropriately. The star itself is devoid of blemishes. After organizing the matter at hand, I will proceed to provide a response.
  5. I have sent an email to the supplying dealer in order to document the communication, since I am aware that the sales representative will be absent tomorrow. I am optimistic that, given the proximity of a local location next to my workplace, they will have the opportunity to do an examination. If the issue persists, I will take it to the authorized dealer. The reason for my inquiry on this platform is that sometimes, certain faults are well-documented and may be readily addressed in a straightforward manner, without the need for extensive troubleshooting. This can be accomplished by doing the necessary repairs or maintenance directly on the driveway, therefore avoiding unnecessary complications.
  6. Thank you for your response. I would want to clarify that the vehicle in question was not obtained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership, but rather through Jardine Jaguar Land Rover. Additionally, it was provided with a two-year guarantee. Consequently, I intend to visit a Mercedes-Benz dealership to get their input on the matter.
  7. Challenges Associated with Owning a Pre-Owned Vehicle I just acquired the E63 automobile and am really satisfied with the purchase. However, I have encountered a little issue whereby an error message appears on the dashboard, indicating The radar sensors are in need of cleaning. Please refer to the owner's handbook for instructions. Upon pressing the steering wheel, the issue seems to be resolved, indicating that the Distronic system is functioning properly. However, despite this observation, the recurring message persists. I have inspected all the sensors and cameras and can confirm that they are devoid of any contaminants. Despite consulting the owner's handbook, I have been unable to locate any relevant information. However, when reviewing the maintenance records from May 2021, I saw an invoice for the purchase of a new radar sensor, although no specific location reference was provided. I have brought up the issue with the supplying dealer, since the vehicle is now covered by a two-year warranty. However, prior to initiating the process of scheduling an appointment with Mercedes, I am curious if there are any straightforward and expeditious solutions that someone may propose. I have placed an order for a Carly adapter, which was expected to arrive by now. Once it is received, I will proceed to connect it and assess the presence of any stored error codes.
  8. Congratulations, your performance shows commendable diligence.
  9. It is advisable to use super unleaded fuel whenever possible. In my opinion, depending on a knock sensor as a regular means of safeguarding the engine by using delayed ignition timing is not the most optimal approach.
  10. Thank you for your response. I have placed an order for a pair of sensors; however, when inspecting the pads one month ago, they seemed to be in satisfactory condition.
  11. It is likely that additional ones will be required, and I will provide an update on if the aforementioned 'trick' was successful. Thank you for your response.
  12. The item in question is not significantly worn and I am unable to recall if I had consulted the Idrive webpage. The red brake sign and red triangle are consistently shown, along with a notification about the activation of the nanny driving mode. Upon recollection, it became apparent that the vehicle required replacement discs. Consequently, I proceeded to install new pads concurrently. The previous sanitary pads exhibited around 50% wear.
  13. The proposed solution is ineffective. I discovered a technique on a different online platform: BMW aims to install a new sensor during pad replacements in order to prevent the need for this action. However, a workaround to circumvent this involves briefly bridging the contacts on the wear sensor connection and thereafter performing a reset. After completion, the sensor may be reconnected. I intend to do this task on the following day; nevertheless, I am perplexed as to why the warning did not manifest immediately subsequent to the installation of the new brake pads, but rather after a distance of 500 miles.
  14. I successfully used the concealed menus to initiate a reset of the brake fluid. However, my attempt to do the same procedure for the front pads yielded a "unsuccessful" outcome, despite the initial indication that a reset was really feasible. Earlier today, I encountered the activation of the brake warning message, about one month subsequent to the completion of brake maintenance. Is it necessary to replace the brake worn cables as well? The Ancel BM500 handheld scanner encounters a failure while performing a CBS reset.
  15. Please send me some pictures. Please provide links to online galleries including 2019 imagery. However, upon closer study, it becomes clear that these sites are really displaying data from 2018. Thanks!
  16. Thank you, everyone, for your replies. I have conducted more research, as you indicated, and have seen sufficient material that prompts me to doubt the viability of using them. I am not seeking a significant increase in power, and I am beginning to question the potential benefits in light of the considerable number of unfavorable reviews surrounding most tuning companies. I am considering following the advice I previously provided to Graffti on this site, which suggests opting for suspension and brake modifications. This alternative is more cost-effective and eliminates the possibility of engine or gearbox failure. The enjoyment derived from late braking and superior handling is equal to, if not greater than, other sources of amusement.
  17. I am considering the possibility of having my E60 530d vehicle undergo a remapping procedure. I am curious whether anybody has had any prior experience with Darkside Developments located in Barnsley, and if so, if they were satisfied with the quality of their services.
