My comprehension is that if the brake pads are replaced prior to the sensor's detection (with the circuit remaining intact), the sensor remains functional until the pads deteriorate, resulting in a circuit interruption and subsequently a "low brake pad warning." Therefore, if the pads were replaced before the sensor issued a warning, it should not activate a few months later unless the garage did not actually replace the pads. It is not uncommon for unscrupulous garages to engage in such deceptive practices.

resolved The problem was a faulty engine ground. I utilised some welding ground cable and established grounding at several spots, and now everything is functioning properly.

All terminals and wires appear to be in satisfactory condition; I will utilise a voltmeter tomorrow to ensure everything is functioning optimally. The only noteworthy observation is that when I connect a wire, touching one end to the earth and the other to the engine block, a little spark occurs. This suggests that I may need to reposition the earth strap. I fitted it by connecting it to the gearbox mount on the body side and then to the actual gearbox housing.

Initially, I suspected the battery; however, connecting the jump pack directly to the battery does not initiate the start. Conversely, attaching the jump pack to the engine bay positive terminal and the body ground facilitates ignition. I am currently reconditioning the batteries.

I left the original earth strap intact and installed a new earth strap from the bell housing to the body, anticipating that an increased number of connections would yield improved performance.

I possess a 2008 W639 model. A week ago, I encountered a starting issue characterised by a clicking sound. I successfully jump-started the vehicle, suspecting a depleted or low battery. The vehicle was operational and utilised as a delivery van throughout the day. After a few hours, the cluster ceased functioning, and the battery ultimately failed. A technician arrived, inspected the battery after a jump start, and confirmed everything was satisfactory; however, he said, "The engine-to-body ground connection is inadequate." Successfully established a connection from the engine block to the earth point beneath the bonnet as a temporary solution, and all functioned properly. Yesterday, I installed a new earth strap from the gearbox to the body, intending to remedy the issue; but, it did not work. Commenced examination for other concerns and discovered that the original earth strap from the engine to the body was in satisfactory condition. The sole method to initiate the van's engine is by utilising a jump booster cable connecting the engine's positive terminal to the body’s earth point. I have inspected the battery negative, and it is functioning properly; also, all ground connections in the fuse box appear to be in good condition.

I have observed him for almost one year and have saved his content, including numerous videos that are over a year old. I appreciate that he provides a detailed price breakdown of the expenses. He is significantly less expensive than the Indys in the London region and considerably more affordable than our local MB dealers. If I recall correctly, he has not accepted new clients for around the year I have observed him; nonetheless, verify with him if you wish to utilise his services.

It is advisable to inspect all o-rings and seals on the turbo outlet (aluminium pipe) connecting to the resonator (plastic box at the front of the engine) and the intercooler. I believe your 2010 model possesses the same or a highly comparable engine to my 2009 E280. I recently completed all my maintenance, and the vehicle performs significantly better than before. I previously underestimated its condition, but I now recognise the sluggishness in throttle response and downshifts. Some of these seals may have been compromised during the installation of the new intake; this is how I realised mine need attention, as I subsequently experienced a check engine light owing to many leaks, including a boost leak at the intercooler pipe. I wanted to bring this to your attention, although you may already be aware.

While there is a £40 excess, it is improbable that you will want their services.

Is it advisable to engage the gear immediately upon starting, or should one wait for the drive ready indicator to illuminate green? I had this previously with the Sorento, unusual lights illuminated on the dashboard... I believe that upon jumping in, I promptly hit start and selected a gear; however, I was too hasty, and the only available gears were neutral or park. I now engage the brake, hit the start button, and wait for the drive light to become green, which takes only a few seconds.

I could attempt that.In all honesty, I would like to locate a fitter who can provide and install the tyre; but, even that proves to be a challenge, as they assume it is an emergency and impose an expensive fee.

After 60 years of driving and having owned at least 50 vehicles, I never anticipated the day would come when I would need to enquire about changing a wheel. I damaged one of the front tires on my 23/24 Evoque, and the company I contacted for the delivery and installation of the appropriate tire, a Pirelli Scorpion Zero 245/45 R21 104W extra load, failed to meet my expectations. I located a tyre at Guildford Tyres, but it requires me to transport my wheel to their location. I extracted my scissor jack, positioned it into the metal groove on the underside, and commenced turning it repeatedly. The body ascends, but the wheel remains securely on the ground. The distance between the top of the wheel and the body is increasing; I cannot observe the jack extending sufficiently high. Could someone provide guidance? I am unable to locate any information in the menu concerning suspension locking.It is not a Land Rover scissor jack; it is a new Halfords model that extends to 39 centimetres. Assistance would be valued.

This is not an opportune season for selling a convertible. He will achieve a more favourable pricing and garner more interest in late spring if he can postpone his decision. He must submit it for a MOT in March, however. EBay and AT will provide reliable benchmarks, but it is advisable to avoid Facebook Marketplace due to the quality of purchasers.
