Ugh, look who's messed up again!

It is clear, thank you. Then, what problems did you encounter? -

It was completely fake. They still haven't revealed the source, but I'm guessing Aerosus. -
On the left side of the back of my 2013 E63 estate, I could hear a knocking sound. After I brought it to a nearby MB specialist, they advised me to get a new shocker. I got the shocker changed, but on the drive home I discovered that the adaptive suspension button was frozen on one light, making it impossible to manipulate. Returned it, and he informed me that they are unable to reprogram the level sensor at this time. So I scheduled the installation of a new level sensor. However, after they finished the job, he contacted me to inform me that they had encountered a another issue—the right shocker's valves were no longer functioning. He then informed me that I also needed a shocker on that side since the adaptive suspension was still not functioning properly. When I returned home and checked on the vehicle the following day, I noticed that the suspension had significantly lowered. Before now, I've never experienced this issue. Is there something suspicious going on here, or is this just a coincidence? I am grateful.

A jack and wheel brace are standard equipment in neither my A Class nor the other person's. The air pump and the bottle of worthless stuff are all you get. A spare doughnut wheel, jack, and wheel brace were all things I bought for both of them. It is not in my interest to be stranded, retrieved, or held to ransom by a tyre manufacturer that does not even carry my tyre size. After a puncture, I did in fact use the spare doughnut wheel that I had bought for the A class. I'm really grateful that I had it on hand because getting a matching tyre was a two-day ordeal.

Locate the dash cam fuse for the 2024 Sportage
migueldosantos77 replied to Rudy7831's topic in General Car Chat
Connected directly to the body, my components are on fuse 6, which is for accessories, and fuse 9, which is for battery positive. Used the companion app to adjust my dashcam's parameters. -

I will snap a picture of my wiring after Mrs. returns from taking the car. A hardwire kit was purchased for my gku dashcam. My battery's positive terminal is yellow, and the red wire is an accessory. -

One of the spare fuses is an accessory that turns on just when the engine is turned on, and I utilised the other spare, which is a permanent 12-volt, to power everything. I haven't had any issues with the battery warning since I changed mine from 24-hour recording to recording only when the car is hit. -

Why is a 208k X5 3.0d Sport Auto going for £1600?

How many issues it brings up is a key factor. -
Concerning the availability of Jack to UK owners
migueldosantos77 replied to Gianni682's topic in General Car Chat
Not very essential if you don't have a spare tyre. The used wheel and jack that I purchased on eBay cost me £105.00. -
manufacturer-approved tyre degradation

With the 19-inch wheels, I have a preference. 19500 miles in approximately 7 months with all four bearings ranging from 6 to 7/32nds. Here we have the Toyota Open Country. Tires are not terrific, but I expect them to last 40,000 miles. -
Is remote climate control advisable?
migueldosantos77 replied to NAVITEL's topic in General Car Chat
First generation ceased production. September 2023 Production of the second generation commenced in October 2023. A first-generation model lacks any remote functionalities via the app, as the car does not support them. -

We require either the 1st generation or the 2nd generation, as 2023 marked the transition year. -
Could someone assist in transporting my van to a diesel specialist? It is experiencing a power deficiency and emitting black smoke from the exhaust. When I start the van, do you experience a delay of 10 to 20 seconds until it operates normally? Clarify this for them.They inspected the system and reported that the throttle valve is immobilised in the closed position, resulting in choking. He stated that it is an expensive electrical malfunction. He advised disconnecting the throttle valve and remapping it, which I did at a cost of £240 plus labour, totalling £450. However, the vehicle continues to emit smoke and exhibits a delay of approximately two seconds in power reduction upon releasing the accelerator. I cannot afford to incur further expenses when they assured me it was functioning properly. This is the second occurrence; nevertheless, it seemed as though no repairs had been made, as the same issues persisted. He called me and enquired if I had disconnected anything. Refused to drive it home and departed. He stated that he cannot comprehend it; someone must reconnect the valve. Could you please provide advice? Thank you. Will this interfere with the admissions process?

In what position is the indicator or dip stalk located? Ensure it is in the standard position, not protruding forward. -

A one-inch deep channel would be desirable.

I appreciate your responses. The tornichoe you referenced closely resemble those I initially attempted.

Has anyone successfully located jack stand cushions compatible with the pinch welds? The items I acquired included a slot around 0.7 inches deep, although they are at least a quarter inch too shallow. Assistance would be valued. Thank you.

A friend installed a Honda Blackbird engine in a Smart Fortwo, and due to the Honda engine's insufficient vacuum for the brakes, he incorporated an electric vacuum pump from a Jaguar. That was effective, and while one might be inclined to believe that the smart can be quickly halted, it is not the case without a servo.
