  1. The Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light and EXO were professionally applied by a firm named Reep in Leicester, rather from being self-applied. I highly suggest their services for any automotive detailing requirements.
  2. I am now engaged in the academic pursuit, and so far, it has been satisfactory. I have no grievances to express.
  3. The Garmin device that I now own functions very well and is equipped with the advantageous feature of lifetime map updates. Furthermore, the device is equipped with voice-activated commands. Additionally, it does not transmit personal data to unauthorized parties. I acquired a card from the online marketplace Amazon and afterwards installed it. The map was promptly shown upon launch. I will abstain from attempting any revisions to the aforementioned text. If the product demonstrates superior performance compared to my Garmin, I may consider purchasing it during a timeframe of around 4 to 5 years.
  4. Could someone with expertise provide clarification for me? Do these cards provide updates for navigation systems? Is the card acquired for the purpose of obtaining navigation system functionality? Thank you for your response.
  5. The chrome surface was removed and replaced with a vinyl cover.
  6. I fully removed the chrome from my own and afterwards enveloped them in a black carbon appearance vinyl cover.
  7. It is remarkable to observe that the subject in question remains unaltered, with the exception of the nuclear mass situated under the vehicle's hood. I would very appreciate it if you could provide inside photographs at your convenience, Rob. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have a visual representation of the engine bay.
  8. Indeed. I will proceed accordingly. Additionally, does the Range Rover Evoque exhibit favorable fuel efficiency in terms of miles per gallon (mpg)? I own a P300 HSE vehicle equipped with 21-inch rims. On average, the fuel efficiency of my vehicle is 17 miles per gallon in both urban and highway driving conditions. Engaging in typical driving behavior. Adhering to the designated speed limit. I filled the fuel tank completely with 91 premium gasoline, resulting in an estimated range of 285 miles.
  9. I will be attending the aforementioned location tomorrow. The Land Rover Evoque in my possession has accumulated a mileage of 900 kilometers, and unfortunately, it has already encountered two distinct issues. The individual expressed a sense of dissatisfaction. Two displays that are positioned in the middle of the display are experiencing a state of immobility or unresponsiveness. The control arms are exhibiting auditory disturbances during vehicular operation.
  10. By accessing the settings of the Heads-Up Display (HUD), it is possible to disable its functionality. The presence of a dedicated button on the steering wheel is not observed. To access the menu, users are required to choose the "menu" option and go horizontally using the arrow keys. By doing so, they will be able to locate the "HUD" option, where they may modify the information shown on the heads-up display (HUD).
  11. The individual from whom I get goods exhibits a lack of knowledge or understanding. During my recent visit to Cavender Audi in San Antonio, TX for the 5000 mile service of my vehicle, I communicated the details about the logs and software upgrades that were previously discussed in this conversation. However, it seemed that the dealer personnel at Cavender Audi were not familiar with the aforementioned information. The individuals seemed to possess a limited understanding of software updates or the concept of a log. I am really concerned.
  12. Could you please clarify your statement? I am unfamiliar with the subject matter you are discussing, however I guess that it pertains to a log derived from the computer system integrated into a certain vehicle or machinery. I identify myself as a consumer, and it is my belief that the original poster (OP) also falls into this category. As an individual without technical expertise, I possess no proficiency in accessing or obtaining the aforementioned log. I would want to inquire once again about the method through which I may get this item. The notion of a premium automobile being seen as somewhat absurd is a point worth considering, wouldn't you agree? It is presumed that the subject under discussion pertains to the issue of roll back. The multitronic transmission system in my vehicle does not exhibit the expected level of smoothness. In direct contrast, it is evident that our Nissan Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has a far smoother acceleration profile. Once the vehicle reaches optimal velocity, the transmission operates with remarkable fluidity; nonetheless, during initial acceleration, the Audi exhibits pronounced jerking movements.
  13. Do car registrations in Australia also rely on engine numbers as they do in New Zealand?
  14. The identical clicking sound has been emanating from the passenger side mirror of my S211 as of late. It wasn't until it stopped folding correctly that I even realized anything was wrong. It can still be folded, but only with the assistance of a kind traveler. I didn't realize the clicking started at 30 mph, but I double-checked today and you're right. Astute observation. The glass tilting mechanism isn't to blame since I can move it and strike the end stops without hearing the same noise. The noise you hear is most likely the folding mechanism at work. I was wondering if you folded your mirrors before setting out whether they would automatically unfold once you reached 30 mph.
  15. I'm not sure whether I'll be able to drive comfortably, but at least I can get in. Have put some miles on it (including travels to the Vermont Conclave and the Eurofest in South Carolina). With a center shift gearbox, the vehicle's interior is more spacious than it would be with a side shift. The vehicle's Moto-lita dished steering wheel creates a little additional legroom. Be equipped with an OEM hardtop. Even though I've never tried on a soft top, I have a sneaking suspicion that it provides greater headroom than the standard hard top. Some angle iron was welded to the front of the seat base, while some flat stock was soldered to the interior. The floor-facing edge of the base was reinforced with a square stock piece using welding. The floor was leveled out a little bit where it narrows and widens above the spring mount. New screw holes were drilled. Because of this, I was able to slide my seat backward and closer to the transmission. The seat's tilt was also improved by moving the pivot point higher. It's possible I'll have to rebuild the rails of the seat, lengthening the studs so I can use tapered spacers to tilt the whole seat. However, the damage I've done can be undone by putting in a new seat bottom. To hide the dip switch, I installed a dead pedal cover. Some time ago, an item appeared in a publication aimed to club members. The dip switch is normally accessible by flipping the cover up, but its proximity to the dead pedal on my bike allows me to just push down harder on the pedal to activate it. The accelerator pedal may also need some adjustments. The curved plate is pushed forward by removing the small portion of rod in front of it.
  16. Changing drivers won't be a problem. Because of this, I am 6 feet, 9 inches tall and (much) heavier than average. A few of occasions I had a retractor lock. But it was because I had turned the knob clockwise instead of clockwise with the arrow.
  17. Our BT7 also has BCS seat belts. I'm not sure how the existing shoulder/lap belt configuration would function with the tonneau. I fabricated the nut/bracket used to attach the retraction mechanisms to the studs in the wheel wells. The BCS-supplied bracket just required one stud. Able to snap a photo if required.
  18. Is there general agreement on which is the easiest to use? Although my prior experience with an OBII monitor was limited, it was sufficient to identify a MAF and save unnecessary expenditures. Thanks
  19. I figured reviving an old topic would be easier than starting a new one, so here's my question: If the vehicle disables all the sensors if one fails, how can you tell which ones are broken? My (backup) merc expert (my regular one is too busy to help me right now) advised me to replace all of the bumpers at once since "once one goes, they all start to fail," which seems pricey in terms of labor and 8(?) components, so I'm tempted to attempt doing it myself. Help identifying which sensors are down would be much appreciated.
  20. Just the front, I take it? Have you looked in the trunk and under the spare tire? (I want to double check that we're staring at the front of the automobile. I was wondering whether your automobile had a sunroof. It's not always obvious. They also have issues with front-facing leaks caused by clogged drain pipe openings.
  21. This occurred on my E500 when the battery was discharged. Batteries swapped out.
  22. It seems the entrance and wing will need to be repainted. Smart repair *might* be able to fix the black plastic wheel trim, but otherwise you'll need to replace it.
  23. Found this site to be quite beneficial. Supposedly, the Mk5 is slightly longer and slightly narrower, but with the mirrors retracted. At least in the guise of an estate. https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/ford-mondeo-2007-estate-vs-ford-mondeo-2014-estate/front/ You also cannot select the Mk3 presumably because it is too ancient.
