  1. In terms of the vehicle's condition, it is subjective and contingent upon the driving habits of both the current and prior owners. The total cost of £1200 included the replacement of seals, adjustment of the map, and the allocation of time for dyno testing. The total cost for the work, including components, is £700.

I have used the services of MRC for my automotive needs; but, in the future, I would likely go for a local garage that is more often frequented, since the aforementioned establishment does not possess a specialized focus in this domain. It is imperative to possess a proficient understanding of the subject matter, nevertheless, if one has adept skills in using the necessary instruments, it is feasible to do the task alone.

  7. Having knowledge of certain trouble codes may be beneficial. However, it is important to determine the specific engine model of your M5, such as the Pug 1.6 DV6 or the Mazda 2.2, before proceeding. Secondly, if the issue were just related to oil degradation, it would merely result in a flashing DPF light. However, as previously said, providing specific fault codes would assist in identifying and resolving the problem at hand.
  8. I am uncertain if the expense of hiring a locksmith would surpass that of replacing the item in question. In my opinion, opting for the services of a locksmith may prove to be more cost-effective.
  9. If you are located in Southern California, I am willing to accept your order without any additional charges.
  10. ... Or would you prefer this other option?
  11. In right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles, the location of the component in question is often situated behind the front wheel arch liner on the passenger side. The access to the object may be achieved without the need to remove the wheel, however the process is facilitated if the wheel is detached.
  12. There is no presence of a fuse. Even in the absence of vehicle batteries, the alarm transmitter will continue to emit sound due to the presence of its internal batteries. This issue arises when the voltage is improperly redirected, resulting in the introduction of this voltage back into the vehicle, hence giving rise to a multitude of peculiar and less desirable malfunctions. It seems improbable that this is the root cause (although I am hopeful as it presents a straightforward solution), and the act of disconnecting it is a simple and obvious step to exclude it from the process of troubleshooting, in my personal perspective.
  13. Is it possible that this is a manifestation of the well-known and well recognized issue with the alarm transmitter often referred to as the 'classic' duff fault? I often express my sentiment on this platform. A very troubled member of the MBUK forum ...There is a conrod protruding from the lateral surface of the engine block.

  14. Seems like there may be a wiring problem. Both the rubber boot connecting the car's body to the door and the mirror housing on my wife's Mercedes have wire breaks from continuous mirror folding stretching the wires back and forth. Both were repaired using solder and heatshrink tubing.
  15. What does this have to do with the inquiry you just responded to?

  17. They seem to be reasonably priced here. 1.6T - 2020 HYUNDAI SONATA 1.6L L4 Turbocharged Oil Filter | RockAuto
  18. Most of these cars probably still come with free maintenance, so most of their owners just take them to the shop. My shop has been running a deal where you can get the oil changed, the filter changed, and the tyres rotated for about $60. Not bad, especially since they are using 0W-20 that is made of 100% synthetic oil. Before the Quaker State oil change, they used M1.
