  1. If you already know the answer, then there's no need for us to suggest methods for discovering it; complete information is king. From where did you derive this data? Where in the United Kingdom are you located?
  2. Challenging! Is it possible to assume that the MH07 was its initial registration? If that's the case, the Manchester area was the initial registration point. Is that where you currently call home? Your profile just shows a general UK address, so we don't know anything about you. If you want to find out what happened, you have to start at the beginning and ask the person from whom you purchased it. Is the vehicle accompanied by any paperwork that could serve as a guide? Are you sure you've verified that? You might be able to find out where the previous MOTs were done if you have the V5 with you. Getting a VCheck report for the present registration would be a wise "investment" of £9.99. You can find the dates of ownership changes here, but keep in mind that a change in license plates is frequently confused with a change in owners. Additionally, it ought to reveal whether the car has been auctioned off before. A good foundation to build upon; report back on your progress.
  3. I have a friend whose BMW had the same problem, and changing the oil fixed it. I don't know why, unless the oil was really old and nasty, but that's what worked.
  4. unfortunately, it's not the garage. I've had multiple garages investigate the matter, and none of them have been able to locate callipers or anything cheaper.
  5. The garage reports that both have seized pistons.

  7. The cost to repair the 508 PSE hybrid's front discs, pads, and callipers (ALCON) is five thousand pounds. Not only is it prohibitively expensive, but the left calliper is also unavailable. Could another combination of pad, disc, and calliper work? Want the cheapest fix because the car has 110k miles. I am grateful.
  8. These tasks are best left to a garage that has the expertise and specialised equipment to do them efficiently. I would also consult a BMW dealer for an estimate. You should probably replace the driveshaft seals as well if you decide to change the diff, because it's a big job that requires a fair amount of disassembly and the suspension needs to come apart on one side.
  9. It should work; maybe there's a diesel setting that would be useful, but I'm not sure if you had a good connection with the jump pack. Do you not possess a key that can start the vehicle? because the e46's boot/trunk key is that one.
  10. I see that you're on a tight budget and are looking for reasonably priced tires to ensure a smooth lease return. Even though it doesn't specify a brand, have you verified if the rental agreement specifies a minimum speed or load rating for the tires? Others may be able to suggest a set that passes the test if you include those details.
  11. Since I'm not an expert, I figured I'd search up "check your battery health." If everything seems fine, then disconnect and reconnect, and drive around for about three minutes. AI recommended the above, but you should also try the other things, the ones you can handle on your own. If you still need help, you can always wait for an expert to respond to your question. Just a personal recommendation: after setting it up and driving it, check the battery health. Just make sure the lights are still on, okay? Regarding AI - tread carefully Due to the loss of calibration data and communication memory by the vehicle's computer modules, numerous dashboard warning lights will remain illuminated in a Mercedes-Benz B-Class when the battery is fully disconnected or drained. Because the modules have already recorded "low voltage" fault codes that need to be cleared or reset, removing the battery again will not resolve the issue. numbers 1 through 3 Here are the steps to turn off the lights: 1. Adjust the steering wheel by resetting the angle sensors. A common cause of the power steering, anti-lock brakes, and electronic stability program lights remaining on is when the steering angle sensor forgets where you were. Recalibration is a simple DIY project: [1, 2]. Get the engine going and keep it there in Park or Neutral. Press the lock while fully angling the steering wheel to the left. Once you reach the lock, turn the wheel to the right until it stops. Turn off the engine, center the wheel, wait 30 seconds, and then start the car again. It is expected that the traction and steering lights will go out. [1] 2. Go for a Quick Drive in the Car In order to readjust parameters such as tyre pressure and wheel speed sensors, modern Mercedes vehicles necessitate a short driving cycle. Maintain a safe driving pace for ten to fifteen minutes. The computer will automatically turn off many of the remaining yellow warning lights once it detects consistent data from all wheels and the engine reaches operating temperature. numbers 1 through 3 Step 3: Remove Stored Error Codes The Check Engine and SRS (airbag) lights will not be able to self-clear if they are left on. After two months of sitting, the voltage drops so low that the car's memory stores "undervoltage" errors. numbers 1–4 An OBD-II diagnostic scanner, which you or a mechanic will have to plug into the port beneath the dashboard, is required. Get some piece of mind by running a comprehensive health scan, recording the codes, and then selecting Clear/Erase Fault Memory. 1 and 2 4. Get the Battery Checked After two months of total discharge, a car battery can develop sulfation, a condition in which it can maintain a surface charge but die under load. This damage is permanent and affects the battery's internal components. Even if your alternator is in good working order, the dashboard lights will keep coming on if your battery isn't able to keep a constant charge. A free battery and alternator load test is available at most local auto parts stores and garages. numbers 1 through 3 Also, keep in mind that a tiny Auxiliary Battery (usually found in the footwell or dashboard area) is standard on many B-Class models. If the primary battery died, the backup battery is probably dead too, and you'll keep seeing the "Battery Visit Workshop" message until you replace it. Are the lights red or yellow? That should help narrow it down [1, 2]. You can help me identify the system that is malfunctioning by telling me which warning lights are still lit, such as ABS, Engine, or Battery. [1]
  12. However, my 2018 Kia Niro is equipped with a slot for an SD card, indicating that it must exclusively accept updates through an SD card rather than a USB drive, correct? It is equipped with a USB port, which I utilise for Apple CarPlay and similar functionalities. Indeed, I am utilising the Kia software for the purposes of formatting and updating the SD card. I have attempted multiple times, yet the vehicle still fails to recognise the card.
  13. If it is not an external leakage, then it must be occurring internally. Did you conduct a pressure test while the engine was hot and operational? Did you intend to refer to a cylinder pressure assessment? Is the oil level rising? Conduct a pressure examination of the cooling system, particularly the cap.
  14. These days, it seems to be related to the angle of the windscreen, and treatments that make the dashboard shiny don't help. Just like you, a mat resolved the issue on my 2018 stonic, which was the first time it happened to me.
  15. I take it he left the old valves in place? Why not give the rest button, which is located next to the volume knob, a go?
