  1. "Alternative viewpoints exist, however" If you are driving 2,000 miles per year, the dependability of the vehicle is not a concern. If you have the opportunity to use an affordable automotive technician, then opting for an older vehicle entails a reduced level of potential hazards. Are you really desiring an automobile of such significant size? The SLK is priced at two-thirds the cost of an SL, and offers enough room for those who mostly engage in casual driving.
  2. Therefore, the options are a 14-year-old SL with 60,000 miles and a 21-year-old SL500 with 70,000 miles. What is your intended annual mileage and purpose for using it? What will be your real driving speed? What is the maximum distance you could travel? What is Cornwall? Which one, Tuscany or something else? When an automobile malfunctions, what is your usual course of action? Conduct your own investigation, and maybe rectify the issue by either contacting a large dealer or reaching out to a local garage.
  3. Does it produce a loud tapping sound similar to a tappet rattle? I had a similar issue and attempted all suggested solutions. Eventually, I discovered that the timing chain had skipped a tooth on the cam pulley, resulting in correct timing for the crank and pump. Modified it and eliminated the rattling noise.
  4. The pricing seems favourable. Is the wheel alignment also being inspected?

  6. Access the YouTube platform and do a search for the channel named "Legitstreecars". The individual named Alex is prominently featured in the content of this channel. Both on a Mercedes-Benz E-Class and a Mercedes-AMG C63.
  7. You will want the assistance of an individual who has a Genuine MB STAR device for the purpose of coding. It is not possible to programme MB automobiles with Launch diagnostic scanners, unlike BMW and some other brands. Is there a nearby automotive technician who specialises in servicing Mercedes-Benz vehicles independently?
  8. Congratulations for a job well executed! I'm pleased to hear that you were able to resolve the issue successfully. Well done!👍🏻
  9. In my opinion, I would recommend obtaining an accurate diagnostic from a reputable independent garage or expert prior to investing a significant amount of money on individual components. Best wishes
  10. Regrettably, I am unable to assist you, pal. I empathise with you. It seems like you are not receiving much assistance from this group of people.
  11. Are you referring to the front driveshafts?
  12. Have you inspected the bonnet release cable as mentioned previously?
  13. It is really a significant disappointment, and I can imagine that you must be feeling rather awful. Consider promoting the automobile by highlighting its current problems and exploring the possibility of finding someone interested in salvaging it. The item must have value if the remaining parts are in excellent condition. You may be left with all the desirable components removed and just the remaining parts to discard...
  14. I completely agree with my approach, as it significantly reduces the amount of time required. Additionally, there is a possibility of inadvertently causing harm or impairing another component while doing the task. Every Mercedes-Benz expert will have access to the STAR diagnostic system.
  15. Although I am uncertain about this specific matter, I am aware that when replacing components, it is necessary to use the STAR system to reset or acknowledge the modifications. However, I myself do not do these tasks since they are handled by my independent technician.
  16. Indeed, but, if it were my automobile, I would be eager to ascertain the root reason of the absence of oil pressure.
  17. What was the reason of the lack of oil pressure? Is the oil pressure switch malfunctioning?
  18. I will examine the MOT issue you mentioned. I am aware that UK MOTs may be rather stringent, particularly with regards to the straight 1's. I am also aware of several exceptions to this rule. I didn't think it would matter as long as the angle and height of the light are accurate and pass the test. I purchased a 2009 BMW 5 series vehicle. I like it, but it was emotionally distressing due to certain circumstances. As a result, I decided to exchange it for a w204, which I equally adore. However, the headlight bulb of the BM vehicle malfunctioned.I brought the non-functioning item to a specialised automotive parts store (not Halfords, a reputable establishment where parts are purchased). I presented it to the attendant at the desk, expressing my need for a replacement bulb with the same level of brightness and colour. The attendant informed me that the bulb I had provided was a 100-watt bulb, not a 50 or 55-watt bulb. He even remarked that it was surprising that the wires had not been damaged due to the higher wattage. I obtained the second item and placed it in the bin. I also inserted two blue bulbs, one manufactured by Osram and the other by Phillips, with a power rating of around 50 watts. From my observation, if my father reduces the wattage of the bulbs he is using, it will help protect his alternator and battery. Alternatively, one might install a high-quality stereo system and amplifier for enhanced audio experience. Will communicate with you at a later time. Wishing you a pleasant evening and urging you to enjoy the current weather conditions.(approval gesture).
  19. Hello Gianni682, how are you? I get what you mean. Typically, I purchase items from European sellers, and the cost of returning them via shipping is usually manageable. I have acquired a few items from both the United States and China, which are located on different continents. I have never had any problems with this previously. There is always the possibility of change, however. I sent an email to the firm, but they instructed me to get in touch with the vendor. It resembled a little aperture in the bucket, providing some assistance but not much. I believed that it exceeded a certain threshold, markjay (such as 3500k or 6000k). Thank you.

  21. Hopefully, this demonstrates to all of you what I, or my father, are like. Thank you once again AliExpress. The price of the AUXITO 2X H7 LED 6500K Canbus Headlight Bulbs is €23.99, which is a 29% discount. These bulbs are designed with a DC 12V CSP Chip to provide a super bright H7 Turbo Slim LED light for your car's headlights. They are error-free and provide a high level of brightness.
  22. Greetings everyone. I hope that everyone is in good health. May I kindly request assistance with replacing the main headlight bulb? I apologise if this is not the appropriate forum for my inquiry. My father has a 2007 W211 220 CDI vehicle. He purchased a H7 LED main beam bulb.The text "(X2)" remains unchanged. I will shortly provide a picture of a light bulb. The sales site states that the product is compatible with all H7 fitments, is anti-flicker, and does not trigger any dashboard alerts. It is also described as a plug-and-play solution. The device connects straight to the car's power outlet. However, upon activation, it began to flicker. I installed the original bulb and obtained a cable/adapter that claims to prevent flickering and dashboard alerts. Reconnect the two by inserting the bulb into the cable and then plugging the cable into the car's socket. However, it continues to flicker. The original bulbs are halogen H7 with a power rating of either 50 or maybe 55 watts. He is using a modest amount of electricity or wattage. Has someone completed this task and resolved it? Assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you everyone
  23. My vehicle has split rims, but I am unsure whether they were factory-installed or why they were included. My car is a 2003 model. The pulsation damper malfunctioned, causing it to dislodge and take a hose along with it. Therefore, I modified all of them. They have a limited lifespan, therefore I suggest replacing them when they reach around 40,000 to 50,000 kilometres. I conducted a discussion discussing the procedure of replacing...
