  1. For fun, I'd get a Cooper S; however, I wouldn't attach a tow hitch to it because it isn't designed to haul anything. Used cars usually have a few recurring expenses, but if the vehicle you're considering has a record of regular oil and filter changes, there shouldn't be any major problems.It would be extremely taxing on the vehicle if you attached a tow hitch.
  2. Some problems that can arise in OM651s after 100,000 miles or more include: gasket leaks or warped rocker covers; oil cooler leaks caused by failed seals; diesel filter housing leaks caused by brittle plastic pipes; inlet manifolds that start giving trouble; and last but not least, engine timing chain stretch, which is indicated by chain rattle-on-cold-start. Also, EGR coolers can become clogged. You could choose to get everything done at once so it's perfect, or you could fix or replace things as they break. For example, when my inlet manifold leaked oil, I had to remove the diesel filter housing and replace it at the same time. In my opinion, the two most important things are to change the oil at the intervals specified by MB (I change mine every 6,000 miles) and to inspect everything on a regular basis. The reasoning behind this recommendation differs from MB's 40K mile recommendation; according to another piece of advice I read recently, diesel filters should be changed every 20,000 miles to avoid injector problems in engines with higher mileage.

  5. It seems like a kidney needs to be traded for that specific part, nothing inexpensive about it.
  6. The first search yielded a price of £55. Other options are less expensive.
  7. Does the rearview mirror have condensation? In that spot, you'll find the sensors.

  9. It was an exceptionally uncommon dealer-installed feature on a W113 Pagoda.
  10. It was something I should have mentioned earlier, but thanks anyhow. I've also attempted to exit the vehicle by turning off the engine and COMAND, but it yielded the same result.
  11. The 2014 S205. The volume never stays where I left it when I start the car; instead, it goes back to the factory default when the radio turns on. It isn't obscenely loud, but every time I want to adjust the volume, I have to press down on the wheel a few times. It seems like the radio should remember the last volume level that was used; I found this after going through an AI Q&A session and doing some research. I am unable to locate an option to establish a default volume level in the vehicle's settings. You have disabled automatic volume control. Did you hear anything, wise folks?
  12. If individuals were instructed to measure from the center of the wheels to the arch (which is the standard practice in the industry), the specific wheel and tyre combination would be irrelevant.
