Regrettably, there is no wheel alignment available. -
What is the price for replacing the front left wishbone?
mrnobady posted a topic in General Car Chat
Greetings, everyone. The make and model of my automobile is a Mercedes E-Class W211 E280. Over the last week, I have noticed a persistent squeaking sound when driving and using the steering. I visited the technician today and, after inspection, he informed me that the front left wishbone requires attention. The technician has provided a price for the following: - A wishbone from a reputable brand is £125 - The labour cost is £65, including VAT. Is this pricing considered reasonable? Thank you. -
Deciding between rebuilding or replacing - struggling with indecision

I understand and concur. The main point I was attempting to convey, if not very well, is that a malfunctioning oil pressure switch does not result in decreased oil pressure. -

The primary factor leading to this issue is oil depletion. While it is preferable that this is not the case, if the engine is already producing banging sounds, it is quite likely that it has suffered significant damage. If the original poster lacks the necessary expertise and money to dismantle, examine, and reconstruct the engine, it seems to be the most viable option to either replace the engine or dispose of the automobile entirely. -
I believe the V8 engine is not susceptible to crankshaft failures. If a defect triggers a notice like that, it will likely prevent the vehicle from starting. The only way to start is by reading the code first.

Considering the recent purchase, I recommend returning it. However, illuminating in such a manner often indicates that it is operating on a 12-volt power source that is nearing the end of its lifespan. The effectiveness of lane aid might vary depending on individual perception and interpretation. While some individuals detest it, others are completely indifferent. It is crucial to signal while crossing a white line when overtaking any object.

As said before, the primary dealer will arrange for the delivery of the items based on your chassis number. However, it is important to note that you will be required to provide 27 kinds of identification, along with a letter from the king. Remember to also place an order for the concealed tangible key.

Fixing an air leak in the P202B/P2007 system using a DIY method.

Thank you for the excellent information and pictures. -
What is their nature or identity? The R showcases their magnificence.

My automobile is a vintage model, therefore I have been searching for a gearbox with low mileage at a fair price for quite some time. It is very perplexing that Audi would want to use the same engine and gearbox for Gen 2.5. What is the purpose of paying an additional fee for the plus/performance option if the upgrade just involves a software configuration change?

Which brand of rear tyres does the SL55AMG use?
mrnobady replied to pharmoun's topic in General Car Chat
The performance of a UUHP tyre relies on its use. In typical driving situations, a UUHP tyre sacrifices its wet performance capabilities in order to achieve a greater degree of performance, which is biassed towards dry weather conditions. Determine the specific vulnerabilities of your present systems and make a well-informed decision to rectify those weaknesses. Comparing the UHP Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, it can be concluded that the Asymmetric 6 offers a more dynamic and sporty driving experience. -
Upon replacing the batteries in my 2012 C-class, I did not affix any additional components. I completed the transfer in under one minute without any loss, including the radio code. The systems have enough capacitance for short-term storage.

Purchasing pre-owned authorised guidance
mrnobady replied to johnmayerrr's topic in General Car Chat
If the appropriate vehicle becomes available, you may arrange for the dealer to transport it to your nearby location and complete the purchase or exchange at that location. Upon purchasing my AUC, I located it on the BMW AUC website. The next day, I brought the tablet to a nearby dealership and indicated my desire for it, inquiring about the expected delivery time. The cost of having it delivered to me is £50. -
According to the dealer, if you have a hitch, you may use it for the rear. However, it is advisable to utilise the side jack points instead.

Thank you for providing this information. I was in need of the locations of the front and rear centre points. My vehicle is a mhev, so I don't have to worry about the batteries. However, the pinch weld spots at the four corners are far closer than the photo indicates, and there is a significant amount of plastic around them. I purchased rubber pinch weld protectors from Amazon, which proved to be effective in my experimental lift setup. I do not have the same problem as the original poster, since mine is rotated during the winter exchanges. However, it would be desirable to do two tasks with a single lift. The location of the rear centre lift point is peculiar, since it appears to be associated with the rear differential rather than a flat area. I will inquire with my dealer service manager on their recommendations.

What is your opinion on the Sparco Sportster SPX seats? What I most like about them is their carbon fibre shell, reclining feature, and the stitching that perfectly complements my décor. The alcatera centres and the simple, beautiful design provide a timeless touch. Furthermore, I have the ability to eliminate the outdated original equipment manufacturer (OEM) diamond stitched sport seats.
