  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. 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?
  4. 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.
  5. I previously published a post regarding SPR Motors. View his vids immediately upon release. Outstanding independent.
  6. I am uncertain if this information would be beneficial, however when my MAF sensor went down due to a missing fuse, a prominent characteristic was difficult upshifts. If your vehicle is an automobile and you are encountering the same issue, it likely indicates a malfunctioning MAF sensor. - supposing that MB configures the gearbox ECU to default to elevated line pressures in the absence of MAF sensor data, consistent with my 4L 80E.
  7. I primarily utilise the round attachment on the jack to interchange winter tires, often for a maximum duration of a few minutes. I have not thoroughly evaluated the jack stand models.
  8. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB111Q8K?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_mwn_dp_AXG7QER0BD9H2NPD9VJT&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_mwn_dp_AXG7QER0BD9H2NPD9VJT&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_mwn_dp_AXG7QER0BD9H2NPD9VJT&titleSource=true
  9. I acquired them last year, and they appear to function adequately.
  10. If a car has been available for over a year without selling, it invariably pertains to a singular factor.
  11. I'm relieved to know that I am not the only one who finds Autotrader advertisements to be cringe-inducing. I saw this in a recent advertisement; it is very trivial, to be honest. Specifications include an array of exceptional amenities, including part leather seats, Apple CarPlay, M Sport exterior styling pack, M Sport bodykit, Android Auto, satellite navigation, heated seats, rear view camera, Bluetooth, and internet connectivity. Specification details are provided by CAPHPI and may differ from the real vehicle.
  12. On some models, it constitutes a component of the condenser located on the side:
  13. The outside. It is positioned at the forefront of the radiator assembly.
  14. The condenser is often available separately; however, it is often significantly rusted at this stage, so I suggest replacing the whole unit. Its function is to absorb moisture inside the refrigerant circuit. This moisture interacts with lubrication oils and other components (such as the compressor), resulting in blockages and the formation of acids that degrade seals, among other issues.
  15. It is amusing how often individuals here assert that; hence, it may have validity in certain cases. Alternatively, I may just have had misfortune, since every component I have inquired about at my local Marshalls has been available at far lower prices elsewhere, often identical to the original part.
  16. be carefull with the quick changes locations
  17. Spotify or Amazon Music CDs. Indeed, I remember them. 🤣🤣 A CD changer may still be available, although I presume...
  18. Accessing the solenoid wire in the E-box is possible without removing the undertray; however, I cannot recall the specific plug required. It is located inside the harness that connects to the gearbox, which is all I can remember. Unless it is an early model engine, which has a plug connected to the DPF sensors that extends to the starter.
