Assist in Enhancing the Appearance of My Mercedes!
KWILB replied to KWILB's topic in General Car Chat
Currently, I purchase temporary insurance each time I drive. However, upon investigation, I discovered that the cost of insurance amounts to £9500 each year. Incredible... -
Greetings, everyone! I own a 2009 Pre-Facelift C200K equipped with the elegance package. (Includes Images) I received it from my father in December upon obtaining my driver's licence. I have invested a significant amount of effort on it, mostly focusing on the engine and the inside. Currently, I am eagerly anticipating enhancing the visual appeal of the outside. I am contemplating enhancing its appearance to exude a more athletic and assertive aesthetic, however I am open to any suggestions as well. However, I have limited financial resources due to my age of 17. If you have any budget-friendly external modifications (ranging from free to £40), I will certainly take them into consideration. Thank you in advance, everyone. 🙂

I suspect there may be a problem with either my phone or the automobile. I ensured that the WiFi box was selected. Despite completing all necessary steps, I am able to play music and hear audio from the phone, but unable to establish a connection for video playback using CarPlay. I will bring it to the dealership on Thursday. Thank you for attempting to assist, it seems to be disliking me already!

I have the turbo premium and I have attempted both wireless and cable connections without success. My CarPlay connection fails after first connecting, but I can still play music via the radio via Bluetooth without touch screen functionality. I have dedicated several hours attempting to make the automobile function properly. I have removed the phone from the system twice and attempted to connect using both wired and wireless methods. I hope you are not implying that I must register for the hotspot in order for it to function. Any other recommendations before I go another 78 miles to the dealership and seek their assistance? The servers were down when we retrieved the vehicle, preventing us from using the app. However, the issue has been resolved and the app is again functioning properly.

Buying extended warranty for expired warranty V10+
KWILB replied to alabbasi's topic in General Car Chat
R8 is more durable and dependable compared to Ferraris and Mclarens. We have seen an increasing number of requests for magnetic rides on new R8s. Ultimately, it all comes down to achieving piece of mind, therefore a guarantee could be valuable only for that purpose. Explore Autrella. My firm is a distributor for www.voyagewarranty.com. Autrella has the most extensive coverage compared to other warranty companies and does not reject coverage for modified cars (limited to mild exhaust and intake modifications, tuning, and no extreme turbo kits). -
Greetings! I have been experiencing the same issue for a while, but no one has been able to identify the fault. Who can assist me?

MINI R59 - defects, but for what reason?
KWILB replied to Needsnewtyres2's topic in General Car Chat
To identify any issues with the flat tyre system, it is necessary to scan it using a diagnostic scan tool capable of detecting all codes. The flat tyre system relies on the ABS system to detect flat tyres, thus any malfunctions in the ABS sensors or ABS pump might trigger the tyre alert. -

One may identify the presence of a start-stop system in a vehicle by examining the gearstick gaiter plastics. If there is a button with a large "A" within a circle, it likely indicates the presence of a start-stop system. However, not all batteries are the same in terms of age and specifications. I now exclusively use Lucas batteries, which I get from MPD. These batteries come with a 4-year guarantee and are specifically designed for start-stop vehicles. They need to be reprogrammed to the car. If you are in the Plymouth area and have any issues, feel free to bring the battery to me for installation and programming. Found the Lucas products to be affordable but of high quality. I have installed hundreds over the years and have not encountered any issues, which is a positive indication. -

Ensure to inspect the carpets for moisture both inside and underneath, as leaks from rain can seep in and damage the frm module located in the footwell. Another probable reason could be an ageing car battery, indicated by the malfunction of the start-stop feature or its erratic behaviour. Just because the car starts doesn't necessarily mean the battery is in good condition. It's essential to have the correct battery type, specifically for start-stop systems, and ensure it is properly coded to the electronic control unit (ecu). -
Are there any issues associated with the 3.3-liter petrol engine?
KWILB replied to stevenkeyte's topic in General Car Chat
In Germany, the present situation indicates a minimum duration of six years. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritise making the appropriate strategic choice for the collective. -

Indeed, your observation is accurate. However, considering the perceived superfluous intricacy and the evident challenges encountered with Mazda's existing SUV models, the matter at hand is not a matter of if a similar situation will arise, but rather when it will occur and, in this particular instance, to what extent it will manifest. However, due to Mazda's provision of a six-year guarantee to all customers, the level of concern among individuals is likely to be minimal. The service provider would do the repair without any charge. However, considering the prevailing conditions, the market value of this vehicle is expected to see a significant decline. There is a general lack of interest in acquiring the product after the expiration of its warranty period. This phenomenon is once again resulting in a direct financial detriment to individuals. -

Could you perhaps clarify what you mean by stating that there are no problems? The whole automobile presents a predicament. The CX60 model has encountered several issues, while the CX90 model has much more severe difficulties. Please watch the provided video and reconsider your thoughts on the matter. -
Windows 7, a software system of historical significance... Microsoft has ceased providing support for Windows 7 for a period of around 3 to 4 years.

The discrepancy in the degree of drop between the right and left seats may be attributed to the use of distinct sliding mechanisms. This differential mechanism enables both tilting and forward sliding of the right seat, even when a kid car seat is mounted. When use the upper handle located on the right seat to access the third row, one will see a downward and forward movement, however the left seat does not exhibit this behaviour. I was previously unaware that it was possible to do the action subsequent to the folding of the seats. I agree with the notion that both seats should possess the feature in question. However, it seems that the implementation of this feature was not extended to the left side. This discrepancy may be attributed to potential hindrances posed by the presence of the centre hump or similar factors.

This is the lowest possible point. The chairs have limited downward adjustment capabilities. In my own observation from the year 2018, it was noted that the right and left sides exhibited equal heights. The objects have a planar configuration extending uniformly from the left lateral aspect to the right lateral aspect. There is a possibility that alterations were made over the period spanning from 2018 to 2021. Does the second row of your vehicle have a motorised or manual mechanism? The potential discrepancy may arise from the fact that the 2018 version is operated manually. I am uncertain as to whether the elevation of the driver's side in your vehicle exceeds that of mine, or whether it is the passenger side in your automobile that exhibits a lower elevation compared to mine. It is observed that the passenger side exhibits a lower position in comparison to the other side in your vehicle. Was there any obstruction present on the driver's side of the second row seat? Perhaps, if the centre armrest is not completely stowed away?

I am uncertain as to what you are collectively referring to when you mention the concept of perfect flatness. The bench seat of my 2018 vehicle is capable of achieving a near-perfect horizontal alignment on all of its sides. However, the only action performed is the folding of the backrest, which is then laid flat on the bottom cushion. The surface is sufficiently level to accommodate the placement of plywood and large objects in close proximity to the front. When using the tilt and slide function to facilitate access to the third row, it is seen that the passenger side undergoes a downward displacement. However, it is important to note that this feature is not intended for the purpose of loading large things into the rear compartment. Moreover, it may be said that it is not flat. It is uncertain if there have been any modifications made to the seating arrangements between 2018 and 2021. To ascertain the extent to which the seat may be reclined, it may be helpful to include a photograph of the seat in its folded position.

The keys I possess fail to trigger any of the alarm systems.

The task was executed with great proficiency.Additionally, I am interested in engaging in sound insulation measures. However, I have some reservations since I have discovered that alubutyl is not authorised by the automobile manufacturer for use in the engine compartment (located under the hood).

The individual's assertion may have been accurate, but maybe unaware of the fact that Mercedes vehicles often include many locations for fuse boxes. All of the cabin fuses in my vehicle are in the off position, thus I used a fuse located in the trunk.

Please activate the amber turn lights on the BMW X5 LCI model.
KWILB replied to rab60bit88's topic in General Car Chat
The variation in driving practises throughout various regions of the world may be attributed to cultural influences or divergent pedagogical approaches to driver education. It is evident from daily observations on the highways that drivers in North America exhibit a lesser degree of concern for the use of blinkers compared to their European counterparts. -

I would appreciate it if someone could verify if the Canadian G05 LCI model is equipped with amber lights, deviating from the taillight colour pattern seen in the United States. Thank you for your response.
