I will be descending shortly in the Audi R8. I have a strong desire to spend some time driving in the automobile, even if it would be more logical to go by plane. I just had a phone conversation with the individuals residing in that area, and it seems that the nearest motel to our designated meeting location is situated 40 miles away from their business. Due to my frequent business trips, travelling 40 miles from the hotel to the client meeting is quite a considerable distance. In the Dakotas or Nebraska, such landscapes are more commonplace, but I anticipate seeing captivating terrain ahead. I truly like that aspect of my profession. In my twenties, I travelled on all the interstates, and today my work often sends me to remote locations. I sincerely want to own the funds to get a Pilatus PC12. Acquiring a large Gulfstream aircraft would effectively resolve all of my travel-related problems.

Next week, I have arranged a meeting with several prominent private equity professionals from New York City in Kentucky. We will be seeing a firm that they own in that area. Additionally, one of the individuals will be accompanying me to Indiana to evaluate another business. My objective is to get pleasure from the company of the men, who are all in their 40s/50s, as it would be wise to make the most of our time together. Typically confined to a desk in Manhattan, engaging in some spontaneous amusement may assist in finalising the agreement. I am considering either renting a King Air aircraft for the trip or driving. If I choose to drive, I would want to spend half a day exploring the Kentucky foothills with the individual in the R8 vehicle. He has many automobiles that are more luxurious than mine, but it would be a delightful experience for him to drive in the Kentucky "mountains". Does anybody have knowledge of any high-quality roads in this specific vicinity? It seems to be an excellent location for driving!

The previous MoT was conducted in September 2023 and there may be an outstanding recall.

We have a wide variety of left-hand drive (LHD) components available. -

It is simple, only a few components. If you have the necessary parts, it will be easy to assemble. -
"The largest prize battle in the past five years." If it is accurate, pricing will become much more affordable.

Indeed, I overlooked the fact that the LCI was just released, which likely means that the reductions are minimal.

If I am able to, I will redirect you to get in touch with you later. Because of a discount in general: I have read in two media that the largest new vehicle discounts have been recorded since the start of the financial crisis in December 2011 and are anticipated to persist this year. The sales numbers in region D are underperforming, particularly in international markets. Hence, there would be substantial discounts in D. Four weeks ago, I purchased a Z4 under exceptional circumstances at a discount rate of 0.95 (LF). I have also learned that other BMW models are being offered at significant discounts. I find 17-19% to be achievable with the X6. Find a reliable guide here, such as: Visit this link to purchase a new BMW X6 SUV: http://www.autohaus24.de/neuwagen-kaufen/bmw/x6/gela I got a leasing factor of 0.61 for a newly equipped Ford Kuga corporate vehicle that I purchased for a colleague, even for a 1-year lease. Although it is only a Ford, I sense that the savings are now substantial.

I disconnected the line in the photo I received from a video, but just a little amount of fluid came out. I will follow your instructions to locate the correct line and attempt to disconnect it again for confirmation. I have a custom-made blink code reader for identifying issues with the soft top. I will contact you after I have obtained the oil and finished the testing. Cheers -

First, some background information on me. My proficiency in mechanical work is due to my upbringing around automobiles and learning from my mechanic father. I repaired cars on my own until I could afford professional garage services. My profession is electronics engineering, but I am now retired. I still sometimes design and create electrical components, and I also have knowledge of hydraulics. Having had the automobile for more than two decades, I am eager to continue using it. I have bought new strut bumpers and dust shields since the old ones are worn out. I will need to remove the strut nonetheless. I have reviewed the information provided in the link you sent, and it encompasses everything I have come across in the links I have located, however in a more comprehensive and lucid manner. Thank you for that. Visit the following link for information on a ride height issue with a non-US version of the vehicle: https://www.benzworld.org/threads/ads After lifting the vehicle and turning the wheels from one extreme to the other, I saw that the dashboard light turns off. Following your advice, I inspected the fluid level and return line, confirming that the fluid is at the maximum level. However, no fluid is being discharged from the return line even at 2,000 revolutions per minute. I value your assistance and guidance, since I prefer not to duplicate efforts. Advice on a systematic approach would be welcomed.:) My email address is [email protected] Richard, I appreciate your time and patience. I acknowledge the extent to which you have assisted other members with their problems. -

The vehicle has had a complete accident, causing the front to be about 2 inches off the ground. The tyres are positioned below the wheel arch rim. There are no oil leaks around the shocks, and the shock bump stop rubbers and dust covers are deteriorated. Should I loosen the tubing at the top of the shock to see what is occurring? -

Hello everyone I need assistance in locating information on my self-leveling suspension system. I have details about the rear shocks and setup, but I am unable to discover a similar system to mine. I have extensively researched several forums and all available information on R129 suspension. Can anybody provide information on this image? It shows the top of the front strut from the engine compartment. Thank you

I have discovered that my nearby Kia dealership, Chorley Motors in Blackpool, provides assistance and services at a reasonable cost. I purchased the automobile brand new in 2021. However, I did not get it from them due to their lack of a discount offer. The garage presented me with a service agreement consisting of 36 monthly installments of £15.95 each, including 3 services and 1 MOT. Additional discounts are available for extra service after this one expires. The cost would have amounted to somewhat more than £18 per month for a duration of 5 years, covering 5 servicing and 3 MOT's. I opted for the 3-year plan due to uncertainty over the duration of my automobile ownership. By engaging in this action, I am able to retain the warranty and also get RAC coverage. When comparing the cost of a Kia to my friend's Mercedes, it seems that the Kia is a more attractive option, since it offers a same deal for around £40 per month. The only potential issue I anticipate is the MOT examination. During the most recent service, it was shown that the tread depth of my front tyres measured 4.2mm. The recommendation was made to replace them, and a quotation was provided for the cost of the tyres, which was very high.

After analysing the available data, I saw that under comparable operating circumstances, the fill rate over a 60-mile distance on the highway climbed by 7% while driving. However, during the latest instance, covering the same 60-mile distance on the motorway resulted in a fill rate of 38%. To me, it represents a significant disparity in the pace at which the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is being filled. Both travels exhibited remarkable similarities, such as the absence of traffic, a consistent speed of 70 miles per hour, the vehicle being completely warmed up, and the use of Shell V-Power diesel fuel. These are photographs of the temperature sensors under maximum workload as the rate of filling grew rapidly.

I appreciate your responses. Thus, the enigma becomes more profound. The dpf values have been reset after a chemical solution cleaning. The regeneration intervals prior to the diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning were around 70 miles. Following the dpf teach in, I have determined the subsequent regeneration intervals: The first trip covered a distance of 202 miles, with the whole journey taking place on the highway. The second trip included a distance of 251 miles, with 50% of the journey taking place on the motorway and the other 50% in the city. The trip included many chilly starts and other similar conditions. The distance is 166 miles and the whole route consists of motorways. The current measurement for ash is 0.2 grammes. The question pertains to the reason for the significant variation in the lengths covered during regeneration. All the highway journeys were essentially similar in terms of speed, RPM, and refuelling locations. I am experiencing a state of extreme mental agitation and amusement at this moment. 🤣

Here is a photograph taken after covering a distance of around 30 kilometres by driving. At the beginning of the journey, the soot level was 0% because it was immediately after the diesel particulate filter (DPF) was reset and cleaned. I am perplexed as to why the ash content is 2.7g, considering that the system was thoroughly cleaned and all values were reset to 0.00.

It has not been remapped and it lacks ad blue. The reset procedure was performed twice on the dfp, first using xentry which had no effect, and then attempted again using my launch tool, with no success. I have included photographs of my diesel particulate filter (DPF) prior to the cleaning process. Presuming the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is functioning well, it may be inferred that the opposite side was already free of contaminants prior to undergoing chemical cleaning.
