  1. It may be costly, isn't it? An Alpine unit for my Bose-equipped 500 was quoted at £1799 by my local Bristol station, WesternCareRadio. Retrofitting these things is a huge pain, I don't mean to imply it's a rip-off. Now that I have the NGT1, I'm confused on what to do next. Not easy.
  2. The fact that Edward Hall (who had previously supplied the automobile in this thread at the top) does this frequently suggests that he must have strong contacts for getting the greatest cars; nonetheless, I was not implying that. Even though petrol 212 estates aren't particularly widespread in Japan, they import a good number of them. The UK and Europe, I believe, were mostly purchasing diesel, while Japan bought relatively few. 🙂

  4. These days, I'd say rust is the main issue with 124s. If you're looking for a good one, you might be interested to know that they now import a couple from Japan.
  5. Quite intriguing. For my 2012 C350, I am presently paying £44 a month for a three-year plan. This plan will cover just one extra service. At the beginning of 2013, the monthly cost was £27, so I decided to get a plan. It accepted payments all the way through 2016. After that, I had a £27.50/month plan for two years, and then a £36/month plan for four years. For as long as there has been an option, I have always gone with the longest plan. thought it was worth it the whole time. Whenever I needed an extension, I had to ask for it; neither my dealership nor MB UK ever suggested it. You can see that the price has gone up from £27 to £44 each month. The "replacement vehicle whilst car is in workshop" provision is no longer part of the plan, according to the MB website. There was a little fee "to cover insurance" for this, but up until my most recent visit, it was always free. It is likely to be dealership or group specific.
  6. Just like you, I opted out of a sun roof and saved even more money by purchasing a used '23.
  7. You can see a lot of these autos. To hell with it, just walk away and keep searching.
  8. I noticed the body was sitting at its normal height the second I stepped outside today, so I went ahead and checked to see if it would bounce. It did not! I started the engine carefully and saw no warnings, so I went for a short run to make sure everything was OK. The car handled and drove perfectly without my touching the height/lower or sport settings; I figured it was best to just let it be. Upon returning home, I verified that the ABC fluid level was sufficient; nevertheless, it appeared somewhat low on the dipstick, not quite full but not quite empty either. Is it possible that this is the source of the problem? If so, which oil or fluid should I get to replenish it? I was searching online, but there seem to be a lot of options. Much obliged.
  9. Greetings everyone; As I rounded a bend on my way home this evening, the words "ABC Visit Workshop!" flashed on my dashboard. Now I'm a little confused. Worryingly, I felt the vehicle begin to bounce and feel extremely floaty the second I received the message. Fortunately, I was rather close to my house, so I sprang out of the running car as soon as I pulled onto the driveway and saw it sitting proudly on its highest suspension point. As soon as I applied pressure to the vehicle, its body effortlessly jumped up and down. I returned to the vehicle, shook off the shock, and then shut off the engine, waiting a minute or two before starting it again. The automobile rose up without a hitch when I clicked the raise button; but, when I got out, it was obvious that the suspension was still set to its highest setting, and the bounce was still present. There were no longer any cautions because the ABC message on the dashboard had vanished. The original warning had white text instead of red. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it because I had the rear shocks changed approximately four months ago. The vehicle's front and rear ends are still elevated. Much obliged.
  10. The reason the service is so expensive is because my Kia Emac's maintenance schedule indicates that the Ecall battery replacement is scheduled for the fourth annual service. 😎
  11. Initially, driving at night can be unsettling, but have confidence in the system. Page 282 of the handbook delineates the effect as shaded high beams. The shaded high beams are exclusively featured with the optional safety pack.
