  1. From my experience, the lowest mileage at which they have failed on an ex-MOT vehicle is 1500.
  2. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-public-charge-point-regulations-2023-guidance/public-charge-point-regulations-2023-guidance
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.)
  6. I Had it on my 2022 Sportage, after reading several other owners had the same problem i was gutted, i wanted to be unique and be the only person ever to have a faulty cap that wouldnt fit flush against the rest of the bodywork so I took it back to where I bought it and told them about it, to my surprise i didnt have to book it in and come back in a month`s time, the service manager said they could fix it straight away, make yourself a cup of drink and get comfy, literally about 45 minutes later my car was back outside and keys were handed back to the girl on reception, then both me and the service manager went outside and inspected it and it was as i imagined it to be, a snug, flat fitting fuel cap, I asked how did they mend it, he said it`s to do with where the rubber filler pipe fits the metal neck of the fuel tank, for some reason when they fit it in the factory they dont tighten it up and as the vehicle was driven around with fuel in it the tank it moves about a bit till it settles down and because the pipe fixings aren`t tight it pushes the filler pipe against the filler cap forcing it out, al the technician does is relocates the rubber filler neck over the metal neck and tightens it up, never to be taken apart again i add!!
  7. Salutations and salutations. My CX 30 is wonderful, however I'm the only one who doesn't want the preferred sunroof option. The sunroof was not an option for me when I purchased the sport. Or am I the only one who can do this? Some people just prefer
  8. Some mot testers can be a little off when it comes to warnings, so I would either check it myself or get someone else to do it. Due to the salt and road conditions, as well as the fact that they are the closest parts to the road and will inevitably take a hammering from stones and other debris, subframes will inevitably see surface rust.
  9. That's strange. Given the plastic clips and metal door panel, I don't see the holes expanding. Is each and every one of the door card's clips securely fastened? They should all be present to "help" one another, in my opinion. By the way, are each of the clips perfectly aligned with its corresponding hole? Passing it by and folding back is a breeze. Have you upgraded your speakers or installed soundproofing material around their rear? That's the only other thing that comes to mind. My bottom clips stopped positively clipping home after I tried it. The insecurity of the door card was much more frustrating than having to remove the deadening material. Wishing you all the best
  10. What sort of claim is this? Your source must be posted. Your vehicle's stability and control will be compromised with higher tyre pressures, particularly those above 51 psi. When it comes to setting the pressure, the engineers at Mazda go to tremendous pains to find the sweet spot between comfort and handling—36 psi—and I'd rather have their word than that of some anonymous YouTuber. Furthermore, I have never heard of an insurance company refusing to pay out because a tyre is too old! I couldn't agree with you more!
  11. Could you tell me who makes the tires? The journey could have been smoother, and my car arrived on Continental around 5 p.m. After switching to Goodyear Assi 5, I felt much more in control and had a much more pleasant ride.Limousines will never be an option, as previously stated. Changes in tyre size are not recommended by Mercedes. The wheels on your vehicle should be the same size and have staggered tires. I briefly experimented with a larger rear tire on my car, but I soon realised that it affected its handling, so I went back to the original size. The automobile is something I really miss having. My best wishes as you resolve the issue
  12. For my 36-mile round-trip commute, my PHEV also shows an infinite fuel economy when set to 100% electric drive. As an observer, I've seen that when set to HEV mode, it will draw slightly more power from the battery than when fully charged, as if you were storing it for later use; It causes the gas mileage to skyrocket; for example, when this occurs, I've had 95.2mpg and 105mpg in HEV mode very lately. Yesterday, the level had decreased to 98% after I filled the tank with E5 fuel on January 14th. Every Friday, I put my car into high-emission driving mode and use it all weekend long since the only place I can charge it is at work. So long as I remember to plug in and charge my battery when I get there on Monday morning, I should be able to drive completely in electric mode. My whole weeklong journey, with the exception of Friday, is completed solely in electric mode. Figuring out which settings to employ in which situations is thrilling - complete geek overload - and I really adore it...!!! 🥰
  13. Theatrical performances? In conditions where there is minimal traction on a snowy surface, it demonstrates how the all-wheel drive systems of the various vehicles differ in how they distribute power to the wheels. For someone like me who has a steep paved driveway that gets buried in snow during the winter, this is not only relevant information, but it would be crucial. In terms of tires? All of them have snow tires, and the pallisade stands out as the only one that doesn't, thanks to its subpar all-wheel drive system.
  14. From a distance, the automobile appeared decent. I suppose it would be beneficial for me to go automobile shopping in order to determine my own personal standards. Your point that I don't want a rusted automobile is valid. Taken a number of vintage automobiles there on many occasions! Working hard and filthy for little in return. Having to organise the mechanics is usually more appealing to me than structure. Best regards
