  1. The battery is currently on backorder because they have announced a global shortage. So, here we are, five months later, with no estimated time of arrival! Oh, and the leasing company? What a farce. They are claiming two separate provisions in the terms and conditions... Two things are stated: first, that the vehicle should be returned in good working order; and second, that they can continue charging if I do not surrender it. It seems unfair that they can continue to charge me every month without ever fixing anything! We will see what happens with my ongoing claim with the solicitor's firm! Even though it's a lease, I don't think Mercedes should be held responsible for the repairs they're doing, so I was wondering if anyone else has had good luck with them.
  2. Greetings, all! I was hoping someone else has had a similar experience with their EQC. I have been waiting for a replacement battery for my EQC at Mercedes-Benz Teesside since it experienced a total high-voltage battery failure on May 23, 2026. There has been no update on the estimated delivery date or the status of the vehicle's repair nearly five months after multiple escalations to Mercedes-Benz UK. My 36-month lease expired on September 5th, and now Lex Autolease won't even come get the car until they fix it. My informal extension is almost up to its third month! Mercedes-Benz UK has rejected any further assistance, will not consider any goodwill until the repair is finished, and Lex is adamant that the payments must continue. The unpredictability has even forced me to cancel my replacement vehicle. Having an EQB courtesy car is a godsend, but the absence of any kind of timeline or information regarding the costs is really annoying. Has anyone else had to wait for a battery replacement or successfully gotten Mercedes to give them an update or fix the problem? Your stories would captivate me!
  3. Amazon.co.uk : Falken Ziex ZE950 All-Season Radial Tire - 215/55R17 94W
  4. According to what little I've read, there will be no new "upgraded" Falkens released. Until you cross the 18Kmi mark, your best bet is to receive a free set of replacements. Tires with a harder compound will last longer after the second set fails.
  5. Battery and alternator diagnostics.. Evaluation of Power Source Include the steps you took, the voltage you obtained, and the results you posted for each.
  6. I appreciate everyone's responses. The "Auto Standby" wasn't shown when I searched for it. After I updated the app since I saw it needed it, this option showed up! Everything looks to be going smoothly now that I've configured it. Much obliged.
  7. In spite of my leaving and locking the car, my AAWireless dongle tries to connect with my phone every five seconds. I can tell it's because the car's USB port stays active even after lockup. According to US-based forums, one possible workaround is to use a data-only cable that draws power from the car's USB A port rather than the USB C port (which turns off during lockup). I was wondering if anyone had any luck finding a compatible cable in the UK after trying this?
  8. After purchasing a 2023 1.6 GDI HEV GT Line S, I went to fill up the tank for the first time and immediately observed that the filler flap was visibly protruding from the bodywork. Specifically, the bottom front corner was out of line. Has anyone else noticed this flaw?
  9. I also participated, likely in a discussion you initiated. As previously stated, it is not just an exemplary doc-type vlog, but the analysis of component costs and labour is, in my opinion, really beneficial. The gentleman/CEO is, in my opinion, well knowledgeable. By the way, in case anyone is contemplating whether I am being compensated for promoting the individual's garage, the response is negative. I reside in London and have never utilised his services. I am uncertain about the hourly cost; but, if I recall correctly, I vaguely remember it being 80 pounds, excluding VAT. Nonetheless, it is available at a significantly lower price than those in our vicinity.
  10. I previously published a post regarding SPR Motors. View his vids immediately upon release. Outstanding independent.
