  1. Has the control arm rear bush or shock mount been inspected?
  2. Over the course of several kilometres, I have had this issue with my E220 CDI. Despite attempting remedies such as using injector cleaning and changing filters, there has been no discernible improvement. It is peculiar, but fortunately, it does not seem to have any negative impact on the vehicle's performance. There is no need to be concerned.
  3. Automobiles manufactured before model year 2024 do not come equipped with the necessary hardware for wireless charging or wireless compatibility with Android Auto/Apple Car Play as a standard feature. Hardware limitations prevent a software update from introducing new functionalities.
  4. Wireless Android Auto is not included as a standard feature in the 2021 versions available in Europe. The option to buy it as a dealer option is available, and it may be installed in the central console. There are other aftermarket choices available, including the Mazda original equipment manufacturer (OEM) option.
  5. Yes, however, it is essentially a comprehensive elucidation of the concise section in the JLR handbook on the appropriate circumstances for disabling the DSC, and both sources are much in concurrence (with the GOE providing more details on the reasons and methods). In Europe, there are no options for driving on sand because to strict regulations that prohibit driving on beaches and sand dunes. Additionally, Europe does not have any deserts. The yearly LR owners-only event route passes through a military training area, but this location is not a desert. Instead, it resembles a savannah-like postapocalyptic setting. My understanding of "authentic" sand is rather limited. Under all other conditions, I keep the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) on, even while ascending a 20-degree grassy slope near my previous residence in rainy weather, as the vehicle maintains its traction and stability. By the way, the statement in the GOE handbook on the RRS/LR4 sand mode of TR is accurate. It really permits wheelspin, but with an unusual throttle response curve, and also allows for some yaw. Once again, I have never seen a situation involving sand dunes, therefore I am unable to accurately assess the extent to which the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system hampers driving on sand. Therefore, I will depend on your expertise moving forward.
  6. I shall provide you with the information at my disposal. It is generally agreed upon that while going off-road, particularly on difficult terrains rather than regular dirt roads, it is recommended to disable the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system. The reason for this is because the DSC system might hinder the vehicle's forward velocity by sensing rotational movement (yaw) in the vehicle.
  7. Negative. I am able to do powerslides with any of my Land Rovers equipped with DSC in the snow for extended periods of time without triggering the system. The system only activates again after restarting the engine or manually reactivating it.
  8. I am certain that it is "Dynamic". The URL provided is: https://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/service/archive/60643/stability control.pdf In the majority of situations, you do not deactivate it while driving off-road. The JLR page provided above delineates the specific scenarios in which it may be useful. However, as I previously attempted to elucidate, when you disable the DSC, you are only partly deactivating the chosen Terrain Response programme, since both systems have interdependent functionality.

  10. The concept of "DSC suspension" does not exist. You may be confusing Dynamic Stability Control, a drivetrain function that is part of the Terrain Response system, with Dynamic Response, which is the official term used by JLR and refers to an active antiroll bar. When the DSC is in the "off" position, it does not improve TR programmes. To ensure optimal functioning of the TR, it is advisable to keep the DSC enabled and refrain from removing it, since doing so might partly deactivate the TR. Contrary to what you said, the sand programme operates in a distinct manner.
  11. Your batteries are damaged. I find it astonishing that the ABC light does not illuminate each time you encounter a pothole. Exclude it from sports and substitute the accumulators.
  12. When I exchanged my previous W2111, the transaction was conducted over the phone. I was in London while the Mercedes dealer was in South Wales. However, the sale was contingent upon their vehicle matching the description provided in the advertisement and video, as well as my car being accurately represented. I had a comprehensive folder including records of service history and invoices. However, the salesman failed to inspect its contents and instead conducted a cursory examination of the body work and inside. The engine was not even started. Since it had a 2007 registration, it was 12 years old in 2019 and had around 125,000 kilometres. The person said that it will be sent to an auction.
  13. Furthermore, to be honest, the Jaguar vehicle would deplete the battery within a span of two weeks and result in many complications. I disliked leaving it at the airport while going on vacations. The battery of my Mercedes retains its charge more effectively. With my last Mercedes, I used to connect my CTEK charger to the compact 'start-stop' battery, which was situated in the trunk under the carpet. This ensured that the battery remained fully charged during periods of inactivity. You may check whether there is an existing attachment point in the trunk for the CTEK. Alternatively, consider purchasing a USB jump pack if you plan on leaving your vehicle alone for extended periods of time.
  14. In the past, I had an XK and had my CTEK hooked in the trunk, similar to yours. I used a CTEK 56-531 extension cable to establish a connection between the battery terminals, resembling a socket. For my Mercedes, I attach the CTEK charger to the battery located under the hood. I then run the wire through the windscreen and over the side mirror, allowing it to reach the rear of the vehicle. Amazon offers a 2.5m extension cord that may be used to extend the reach of the connection to the charger.
  15. The laws in California are absurd. I am fortunate to be in a location that allows me the freedom to modify my automobiles according to my preferences.
  16. I am uncertain about your query, however to see the blue pins, it is necessary to remove the complete panel, which entails removing the top piece and two side pillar sections first. Below is a concise and informative YouTube video that demonstrates the fundamental procedures. Although the video features a different model, the method is practically identical:
  17. Indeed, there was certainly an error in reinstalling that component. It is probable that at least one of the four blue clips is not firmly attached. Attempt applying gentle pressure to the panel in order to see whether it may be securely fastened by engaging a clicking mechanism. If the previous solution proves ineffective, it is advisable to dismantle the interior trim components in order to gain visibility and understand the situation at hand.
  18. Was any maintenance performed on the liftgate? There might be some clips or bolts that are inadequately secured.
  19. It is often convenient to attribute the issue to the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor when other causes or sensor malfunctions are involved. To narrow down the possible causes, you might consider using an inexpensive Ridex MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor instead of the original one. This alternative option is far less expensive and can be used to see whether it fixes the issue. If the replacement does not resolve the issue, it means that you have not only wasted a significant amount of money on an original item, but also discovered that the problem is elsewhere, resulting in MAF deviation. Malfunctions in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system and air leaks in the induction system may have a negative impact on the functioning of the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and result in the occurrence of false MAF failures. If you lack the necessary software to reset adaptations, driving at various speeds over a duration of time will automatically reset the Digital Diesel Electronics (DDE) system. It should be noted that authentic Bosch MAFs with holographic labels are branded as "made in Germany," but are really manufactured in China under a licencing agreement.
  20. A few years back, I had the failure of both tail lights on my first-generation vehicle. I remember that the cost to repair it was more than 2,000 dollars each lamp, but fidelity insurance covered the expenses. Condensation in the tail light is analogous to having a tear in your seat trousers while walking. Humiliating.
  21. Using your example, I am expressing that I like engaging in intense intimacy with the supermodel, but I am not inclined to remove the protective barrier and jeopardise everything.
  22. I believe that I belong to a position that is between two extremes. Although I don't consider myself a conservative driver, I also have little interest in participating in intense street races, particularly in the busy streets of London where I often see such invitations. Nevertheless, I can empathise with their perspective. I like driving with enthusiasm, particularly on rural roads, where I have the freedom to accelerate more aggressively and choose how close I want to push myself to my maximum capabilities. Although I appreciate the enthusiasm of vehicle fans at car shows and like engaging in spirited acceleration contests on the highway, I also find it entertaining to provide them with a little of amusement, as suggested by madflava. However, when it comes to street racing, my inherent drive for competition would certainly compel me to exceed my capabilities, resulting in either a collision or the revocation of my driver's licence. For those whose occupation requires driving, this is not at all appealing.
  23. Does anybody have the specific component numbers for the screws and metal rivets located below the front bumper?
