Alex approached the task with a hint of irony and is not an off-road expert; he produced many films with this vehicle.

I own a 2015 SE-Navi Diesel, an exceptional vehicle. I have been fortunate to encounter no issues, save from a water leak in the roof, which is detailed elsewhere on this site. The vehicle has successfully passed every MOT without issue, currently displaying a mileage of 44,000. However, this year I received an advisory regarding the same problem you experienced. I plan to replace my car in the coming months, which means the issue will be inherited by the next owner. Regrettably, I believe Honda has faltered with their new car pricing and dealership availability, as two Honda dealers in my vicinity have closed, necessitating a 46 or 80-mile round trip to the nearest dealership. To a merchant. I have a test drive scheduled for the new 2024 Toyota C-HR on Friday, with the dealership only 3 miles away, and Toyota providing a warranty of up to 10 years.

2023 XC60 Recharge T8 indicates disconnection
Black_raven replied to WolfieBase's topic in General Car Chat
I often need to reboot the machine once or twice after an update. I get traffic conditions on the large display just during navigation or while in satellite view. -
Negative, only a drain stopper. Ensure that the filler plug may be undone prior to removing the drain stopper.

It is not uncommon for gearbox oil to remain unchanged or for the filter to be inaccessible without disassembly. If concerned, install a magnetic drain plug or affix a rare earth magnet to the drain plug, which will magnetise it, therefore attracting swarf and tiny metal particles as they accumulate in the gearbox sump.

Thank you for providing clarification. Has anybody installed a trickle charger?

Does the automobile charge the little 12v battery when it is plugged in for charging?

The alarm is activated at unpredictable intervals.

I encountered a comparable problem with a different car (not a KIA), wherein a minuscule moth had made itself at home in the cabin and enjoyed flying around during the night, triggering the internal sensors on most evenings. It took more than a week to locate the insect, and I had to resort to using insecticide in the cabin and then securing the car to resolve the issue (although I acknowledge that this method was not animal-friendly, as I was unable to capture the creature). Worth trying if you understand what I mean 🙂 -
I successfully installed the Curt hitch independently, but had difficulty when it came to aligning the hitch for the side bolts. I used a footstool to provide support to the farthest extremity. This elevated the hitch while reducing its angle if it had been positioned on the ground. I managed to initiate the insertion of the first side bolt, however it proved challenging to commence owing to the friction caused by the hitch's mounting hole. Subsequently, I applied force to the other end of the object, similar to how I did with the first one, successfully securing the bolt in place. The most cumbersome task was the process of polishing the intermediate holes on the frame in order to install the components. I suggest using a double-cut straight shank burr bit. Double-cut bits have a higher cutting speed and provide a much smoother result compared to single-cut bits. Additionally, use your drill at its maximum rotational speed. Low revolutions per minute (rpm) will cause the drill bit to skip and produce a chattering sound. I recommend having an 11/16 socket with a deep design available, since the bolts protrude too far for a standard socket to access the nuts. This may need a visit to Home Depot throughout the process. In general, the installation process was successful and I am satisfied with how well everything fits and appears. The tolerances set by Curt are precise.

I am postponing the purchase of the $2150 factory tow kit (including parts and labour costs in California) until we have a genuine need for it in order to tow. Meanwhile, I will be installing a Curt hitch from e-trailer.com for my bike rack that will be installed on the hitch. Are there any complications or problems associated with doing this task? Will it interfere with the installation of the original one in the future?

Is it time to replace the engine mount?
Black_raven replied to WolfieBase's topic in General Car Chat
Yes, please replace the 92,000-mile tires and also the gearbox. -
Headrests for the second row captain's chairs.
Black_raven replied to WhisperingWillow's topic in General Car Chat
I must admit that even the front seats are not very pleasant. At my current stature and sitting position, the prominent section is where my head sits. It is vexing that these sections do not possess the capability to tilt. -
There is a leak. If the CCV is obstructed, it has the potential to induce an uncontrolled acceleration, ultimately. There are many possible causes, however as mentioned by @motorman3, it is also advisable to inspect the intercooler and turbo for any signs of damage or malfunction. The turbo oil seals on the oil supply line are a significant contributing factor as well.

The next item to verify is as mentioned in my earlier article. 👍

There is a potential that the loom and plugs are there, but you will need to reach the headlight loom from below to determine whether it is really there, maybe hidden in a concealed location. If the previous option is not successful, the alternative is to install new wires from the switch, passing them through a relay, and finally connecting them to the fog lights that you want to install.

Oil Leak - Replace the CCV vortex with a felt filter?
Black_raven replied to HOV's topic in General Car Chat
The optimal course of action is to ensure that the item in question will indeed be compatible. -
Oil Leak - Replace the CCV vortex with a felt filter?

I believe the housing exhibited subtle variations, since when transitioning in the other direction, a whole unit was provided for replacement. -
To be honest, my C55 also bears identical scratch marks. It seems that one of its several prior owners was either a woman or a person involved in the business of prostitution.

Instruct her to rotate the ring so that the stone is oriented towards the inside. Similar to her behaviour when she goes out in the city centre with her female companions.

Windscreen wiper making contact with the frame
Black_raven replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
I concur. Here is a picture of mine when it is turned off. The driver's wiper blade comes quite close to touching the plastic trim located at the bottom of the windscreen. The picture provided by the original poster shows a far greater height. -
Disable the Keyless Entry Fob (on some models).
Black_raven replied to Doncaster34's topic in General Car Chat
The feature works well on my 2022 gen5 Sporty. However, caution must be used since I inadvertently caused both front windows to lower by about one cm when using the lock/unlock button. I failed to observe the situation, and due to the strong gusts of wind we had a fortnight ago, it repeatedly triggered the alarm. It took me some time to discover that the windows were open.
