  2. Titan bronze, the colour I ultimately chose for my Mk.4 Yaris, was not available in the configurator. This colour was only shown to me after we had already discussed options at the dealership. Would you recommend it?
  3. I believe I may have stumbled onto something: the tpms warning disappeared after I corrected the wiring for the parking sensor. Random chance?
  4. An update: it seems like someone informed my car about this post and scared it into fixing itself. Yesterday, I drove without any tpms warnings. Oh my goodness! Hands 🤐
  5. Greetings, I have executed the search, but alas, to no avail. 2012 Ford Mustang GT premium. The most recent tyre change caused the tpms light to come on immediately. I took the vehicle to a mechanic for another reason, but I also had them use the factory diagnostics to make sure everything was OK. According to them, everything was fine, and the light went out. The response was instantaneous. It was checked at two tyre shops by me. All four sensors were determined to be operational after scanning them. They did what I asked—reprogrammed (or reset?) the tpms module. According to them, the programming was successful, and all I had to do to finish the reset and remove the warning was drive the car for a few miles. On both occasions, the warning message about the tyre pressure system malfunction flashed on the flash display, and it failed to function. Our tires are properly inflated. Do you know any voodoo tricks that can reset the tpms? Is seeing the specialist again my sole choice? Their level of
  6. I doubt MB would sell you an engine on PCP, and the price is scary compared to what most people (including myself) would ever pay for a whole car. Losing the warranty would have meant the end of the car's life. Is MB's goodwill absent?
  7. As someone who has owned four RRCs and found the brakes to be more than adequate when driven within its specifications, the claim that they are 'terrible' brakes surprises me.
  8. Because of the obstacles you mention, I don't usually go to extreme lengths to discover the cheapest option. I figure that if I can save 10–20p/mile for the majority of the year, I can afford to pay a little more for the convenience of taking the occasional road trip, just like people with ICE do at highway services.
  9. I have ceased altering drive modes and now operate solely in the default setting. Disregard the majority of bings and bongs and seldom utilize the flappy paddles now.
  10. From my experience, the lowest mileage at which they have failed on an ex-MOT vehicle is 1500.

  12. I would have thought so, too. The purpose of the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 in the United Kingdom is precisely that. In reality, Pod Point (now called Pod Energy) has been slow to accept "roaming" credentials in order to initiate a charge, and at the moment, they only support Zap Map's software in addition to their own. Accepting the credentials of at least one other account provider is all that is required by law. They have completed Zap Map. This is known as malevolent compliance. Without exception, they carry out the bare minimum of what is required of them by law.
  13. Contactless bank (credit or debit) cards are now a mandatory payment method for all quick charges. The blue plug on the dual-headed charger is the CHAdeMO signal for an older Leaf. Although I've found that many AC charging stations do, I keep my Electroverse RFID card in the car because that's its whole purpose—to pay for charging.
  14. While there are no known problems with this model, the vehicle as a whole may have the typical generic Mercedes-Benz problems: Back subframe with corrosion Seat belt buckle, clock spring, and SRS problems ESL failure (as mentioned earlier) Rear wheel speed sensors that have failed Problems with Start/Stop due to a weak battery (Some may chime in with questions rooted in their personal experiences.)
