  1. I possess a BM6. Justifiable expense. As you can verify while remaining in the warmth. You will also be able to move to a fresh battery. A four-year-old battery as well.
  2. The payload indicated on the placard of your driver's side door jamb is, in fact, the payload specific to your vehicle. Exceeding the specified limit by one pound does not imply that your vehicle will detonate; nevertheless, it does indicate the maximum weight designated by the manufacturer for your particular car. Not vehicles akin to yours. Your vehicle precisely. While you should not concern yourself with that figure, your inquiry suggests an interest in it. In legal matters in many regions of the US, the law and insurance companies would be concerned if you experience an accident. Consequently, we shall presume that you do not intend to surpass that figure. Subsequently, employing a weight distributing hitch with any unibody vehicle is generally criticised, owing to the underlying mechanics involved, which transmit forces throughout the vehicle's frame. In a conventional truck, this occurs via a designated frame, unlike in a unibody vehicle. Notwithstanding the assertions of "the representative at Mazda," this practice is typically disapproved of. Your vehicle will not detonate if you proceed. More akin to incremental and meticulous adjustments over numerous tens of thousands of miles. Ultimately, for camper trailers, the weight metric of primary relevance is the GVWR. This represents the maximum weight the caravan can accommodate, commonly utilised as a standard measure, as campers often underestimate the weight of their belongings and tend to overpack on each journey. By utilising this figure and estimating that 10 to 15% will constitute your hitch weight, you will possess ample margin for error, as well as the capacity to transport all your comforts.
  3. I got the opportunity to participate in a track experience day with the new C63; it is rapid, but it does not suit my preferences. The sale position you have is quite unusual; I question whether Mercedes has recognised this as a poor decision and may attempt to retract it.
  4. Given the elevated pressures at which common rail diesel injectors function, how can blockage occur unless the injector is defective?
  5. Utilized three VIN decoders but found no information on the Comand version. How can I determine which version of 204 I possess?
  6. I own the subsequent system and most recent upgrade. Command system, map version 2012/2013 (V7.0) for Europe installed. Does the head unit's SD card port facilitate the installation or execution of the newest map? Where can I get the most recent version of the map? The vehicle is a W204 C220.
  7. They are inexpensive Chinese products; you will need to invest far more money for a quality scanner.
  8. I was provided with a 2025 CX-70 inline 6 loaner while my PHEV was in the shop for another hybrid malfunction mistake. This was the third occurrence of this problem, which happened before I even departed from the dealership, when the vehicle was merely brought in for an oil change and recall services. The CX-70 inline six loaner had superior ride and handling compared to the PHEV, and its gearbox consistently switched smoothly without the occasional confusion seen in the PHEV's gearbox. I lost trust in the PHEV and, finding the loaner enjoyable to drive, I exchanged it for a 2025 Turbo S PP. It performs and manoeuvres identically like the CX-70 loaner, and so far, the gearbox has switched seamlessly on every occasion.
  9. Apologies, it was specifically aimed at the original poster. I have performed oil changes alone during the years when JLR does not provide servicing. Two-year-old oil, particularly when mixed with diesel, is detrimental to engine performance. I have not observed any rise in oil level that would suggest excessive DPF regenerations.
  10. Is it worthwhile to remove one litre of oil, potentially containing 10% gasoline, in order to replace it with 500 millilitres of clean oil? The advantageous decrease in fuel percentage within the remaining oil will be minimal to the point of becoming insignificant. It would be prudent to extract all the oil and substitute it with new oil. The two-year intervals between services and oil changes were not conceived by engineers.
  11. Hi all My iDrive version is many releases out of date and therefore I am trying to upgrade it, which my vehicle cannot do remotely, so I need the update transferred to USB. However I cannot locate where to get this anywhere after following multiple links to BMW's main UK site from Google search results. Must I take this to the BMW dealership, or is it feasible for me to do the task independently? Thank you in advance for any assistance.
  12. I appreciated the Heated Windscreen on my Defender; it was my favourite feature, and I presently enjoy it on my Range Rover. I saw it far more on the Defender and cannot discern its presence on my RR. Perhaps it is only my perspective. I reside in the snow belt, making it very convenient to own. Activate it, and within one and a half minutes, all the snow and ice will be eliminated. If one does not reside in a region susceptible to snowfall, I see why excessive concentration on it while driving may be irritating.
