  1. It operates impeccably, precisely as you desire and as you have articulated. I unequivocally endorse it and would readily purchase another if necessary. Correction: I should have specified that this pertains to my 2018 RX450h and is utilised with a Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G phone.
  2. The CX-90 has performed admirably in numerous off-road real driving assessments relative to comparable all-wheel-drive SUVs. One must just refrain from entering very deep sand.
  3. Certainly. I fitted standard tires on the front and waited around six to nine months before the rear required replacement. I was unprepared to discard functional rear tires.
  4. Install standard tires on the front and do routine doughnuts in supermarket parking lots, as well as execute aggressive starts at traffic signals. This will rapidly diminish the lifespan of the rear components, thereby resolving the issue.
  5. I had a similar problem with the key fob, affecting both keys. I purchased new casings and installed them myself, since I disapproved of the silicone covers previously applied to the original fobs. Simple remedy, and they seem as good as new today. I have not yet encountered the seals issue; however, I suspect an imminent Haldex problem, as my vehicle intermittently switched to 2WD only, with error codes indicating a Haldex pump pressure issue. Ironically, the day I returned it to the dealer, the problem ceased, and it has not recurred over the past few hundred miles, though I am confident it will resurface eventually. Replacing the gearbox oil is included in my list of DIY preventive maintenance jobs, along with the differentials as well.
  6. The positive aspect is that you own the 2.2 older engine, which is notably reliable; just guarantee consistent maintenance. This is the repair instructions for replacing the buckle. It seems straightforward; however, I recommend disconnecting the negative battery terminal and waiting 10 minutes before engaging with any components related to restraint systems. (I am not an expert, so please verify what actions you need to do.) Prior to proceeding, the service manual indicates that the failure to latch may be attributed to a foreign object inside the buckle; thus, I recommend thoroughly inspecting the area for any stones, candy wrappers, or similar debris. Seatbelt buckles seldom fail, since they are engineered to function even post-collision.
  7. The Forum Fuel police will need you to substantiate this assertion. Mercedes also advises against the use of any gasoline additives, it seems. Merely stating 😉
  8. You may also download maps to your phone, which will use GPS without requiring mobile data

  10. A Luddite, I am now progressively acquiescing to electric vehicles, mostly due to my wife's potential purchase of one. She seems to favor the A35 or EQA, although not having driven either, acknowledging that they are almost at opposite ends of the spectrum. Cars up to two years old seem to provide excellent value, however it is recognized that one pays a premium for the enhanced features. I like the EQA primarily due to its financial viability and suitability for commercial operations. I would appreciate some guidance, specifically: Is the 350 significantly superior than the 250/250+ for mostly local excursions of up to 12 miles, considering that range is not a primary concern? Outstanding 140-mile round trip conducted monthly. Are there other vehicles from different brands to consider, given that technology and gadgets are not a priority for her? Are there any dependability concerns about EQA that should be noted?
  11. I concur; after installing new control arms on my vehicle, I had the alignment performed at Halfords garage. After three attempts over the course of a week, they declared their inability to align my steering wheel properly. I subsequently visited Protyre, where they rectified the issue immediately using the Hunter system. This experience has been instructive. I typically avoid Halfords, although it was previously National Tyres, which provided satisfactory service; regrettably, that is no longer the case.
  12. Indeed, I have completed that task, and it is detailed in the preceding article. I may have been editing as you sent this remark; I apologise for the delay in my response. I transitioned from typing on my phone, which was very sluggish, resulting in an incomplete thread being submitted. I then continued on my PC to use a keyboard. 👍
