  1. Intriguing. Window tints have significantly advanced.
  2. Unless you are using a reflective tint, I would guess that darkening it would merely increase heat absorption.
  3. I am acquainted with an individual who enlarged the holes for a larger thread size; he experienced no complications, and it was frequently utilised off-road. Am I inclined to undertake it? Negative. I would sell them and purchase the appropriate wheels, as they were evidently not intended for your vehicle. It is not solely the hole size that is affected; the radius surrounding the bolt head is also larger, which presents a significant challenge, if not an impossibility, to rectify. Dispose of them.
  4. Mercedes predominantly employs either M12 x 1.5 (often on older automobiles) or M14 x 1.5 (on more recent models). It appears you are attempting to accommodate 14mm bolts in wheels intended for 12mm bolts. Prepare to utilise a drill.;
  5. Clarify the term "don't fit." Will not fit through the apertures in the wheels? Is the bolt spacing different? Is it insufficient in length? Is the profile dissimilar?
  6. The Lincoln Tunnel in New York City produces unusual effects on my vehicle. Intermittent failure notifications manifest briefly and then vanish, never to reoccur. This indicates the presence of high-power radars or significant sources of RF interference in that vicinity. It continued to instill significant fear in me during the initial months of possession.
  7. I enter the vehicle, close the door, then engage the brake and hit the start button. While the system initialises, I disengage the steering lock and fasten my seatbelt; it is ready by that time.
  8. It is wonderful to receive your communication.
  9. Have you attempted to modify the "avoid list" within the navigation settings? Are you suggesting that it only circumvents motorways when navigation is initiated by voice commands?
  10. Indeed, you are 'That Guy.' Greetings!
  11. Purchase cheaply, purchase again. For me, Bosch, Varta, or Exide.
  12. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=fuel pumps&campid=5338181132&customid=2518X1570512X129eed78a7da8db844f92fac7c1d89ba&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&subId2=15&toolid=10001
  13. There may still be a gasoline supply issue, perhaps due to a clog in the fuel line, a malfunctioning pump, or an obstruction in the fuel distributor. One method involves detaching the fuel line beneath the hood from the fuel distributor and directing it into an appropriate receptacle. Subsequently, request an assistant to briefly activate the ignition; a robust surge of fuel should be observed. While specifications for flow rate may exist, a discernible, vigorous discharge of fuel indicates that issues at the rear can likely be ruled out. Given that you have removed the tank and replaced the filters, you can likely exclude these components, leaving the fuel pump or the fuel pump relay as potential issues. While there may not necessarily be a fuel issue, refrain from examining the injectors, which may cost around £400 apiece, until you have confirmed a reliable fuel supply to the engine. A new fuel pump, costing a few hundred dollars, is a more economical choice than replacing four injectors. Search for postings by a user named Optimusprime, who has just replaced gasoline pumps on his W124 due to fueling problems.
