  1. Yeah, I'm aware they have an x3 and an x5, and I'd be surprised if there was much of a difference in fuel efficiency between the two.
  2. you may expect to have to go into the nitty-gritty of things if your autos start acting up. No one will know what to do first as owners. And I intend to join their ranks.. Now you could even appreciate our presence on the forum, I believe. A Mercedes from 2006 or later would be perfectly OK. Good luck! Just make sure it's compatible with E10 before you run it.
  3. My current W124 is the second one I've had; the first was a one-owner [cousin] vehicle. The quality of the W123 was superior to that of my W124.This E10 ethanol fuel deadline in September is another item to consider at this time. This is going to wreak havoc on all these older vehicles, including Mercedes. The injection system has a lot of rubber components, and some of them may deteriorate and break down over time.They often behave in this manner after prolonged usage of E5 gasoline. Modern rubber is much more durable than the kind of rubber used in the 1980s.
  4. Regarding your decision to buy a W123 as your primary vehicle. These vehicles are more than 40 years old, so keep that in mind first. That being said, the W 123 is undeniably a top-tier Mercedes-Benz. Some of the critical components, meanwhile, are becoming more elusive, so keep that in mind. Because certain goods are not available anymore, I would assume that you will have to take a break from driving at some point to wait for a part or another. However, if you are really set on purchasing a W123, it must be a pristine, one-owner vehicle with very few miles on the odometer. This is not your average W123. Any vintage Mercedes in this condition will fetch a pretty penny. Therefore, I will wish you well and hope that you pursue your passion.
  5. It is surprising that you have not heard of them.

  7. The initial step is to utilise a high-quality breaker bar equipped with the appropriate socket. Ensure the vehicle is securely positioned on the ground to prevent the wheels from rotating. If that fails, applying penetrating oil and exerting consistent pressure typically proves effective. Avoid abrupt movements; a calm and controlled approach is optimal.
  8. It appears that this matter requires consultation with Toyota Technical. Has the dealer initiated a case with them? 🤔
  9. Your situation will improve—progressing positively, with additional minis to be preserved!
  10. A 17-inch wheel is acceptable for driving; however, ensure that the subwoofer fits within the wheel's confines. I am unaware about the diameter of the submarine.
  11. Is it applicable to both FM and DAB broadcasters, or solely FM?
  12. An adequate amplifier and speakers will not incur such expenses and will produce sound quality comparable to that of B&O.
  13. I consistently prefer the MMI due to the extensive network built in those vehicles. Retrofitting a MOST network for a potential upgrade to MMI is a daunting task that necessitates complete interior removal and the cutting and soldering of the wiring harness.
  14. A jack compatible with an Evoque can be purchased inexpensively on eBay. Note that shipments may occasionally originate from China and could have delays in arrival. In the meanwhile, utilise a block of wood or paving slabs beneath the jack.
  15. Please verify the spacing of the nut holes initially. I discovered this for my own: Centre Bore / Hub Bore: 63.4 millimetres Bolt Pattern (PCD): 5x108 (5x4.25)

  17. I contend that a larger tyre sidewall results in greater instability during cornering. I researched a 19" and discovered Road Hero. While they advocate for their 18" option for the Evoque, I discovered that they offer a 19" variant that is, in fact, more comparable in diameter to the 18". I utilised Tire Size Comparison for verification. My tyre dimensions are 245/45/20. Diameter of 729 mm. Circumference: 2289 mm. The Road Hero RH235, featuring a 155/80/19 specification, has a diameter of 732 mm. Circumference: 2294 mm. The recommended model for my vehicle is the RH086, with a size of 155/85/18, resulting in a diameter of 721mm. Circumference: 2263 mm. A 19" size is superior and provides a more precise fit. I further assert that the RH235 possesses the appropriate wheel nut apertures for Range Rover.
  18. I replaced the air bags and the solenoid, nevertheless the vehicle continued to deflate overnight; only the replacement of the air lines resolved the issue. This occurred after using soapy water in an attempt to locate the leak, which proved unsuccessful. I regret not utilising this more economical method initially.
  19. Are the connections for the height sensors secure? There is one on each side of the suspension arms. They are only plastic and are prone to breakage. Did you replace the air lines when substituting the airbags, since they are prone to leakage?
  20. Interestingly, a new member has recently inquired about batteries. To supplement the existing information and avoid redundancy, please click the link below for relevant details that may be of interest and utility.
  21. When a tire is priced at fifty percent of the prevailing cost for similar sizes, one must scrutinize the areas in which compromises are being made. Examine the comparative tests on tyrereviews.co.uk that include a cheap tire. Consider if that is really your desire when making touch with the pavement.
  22. I own a 2003 Z4 E85. What dimensions are required for the Front end badge? Thank you.
