  1. When we compare plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) that rely on their batteries for the entire, relatively short trip to HEVs that do their own thing when driving on mixed-length excursions, I feel like we're comparing apples and oranges.
  2. There are "issues" here, but there are also "issues" with H/K. For example, my neighbor's New Santa Fe (a copycat of the Defender) was in the shop for over 60 days.The length of time he spent in a loaner caught my eye. One of my favourite things about Mazda is how unique their designs are.Regardless of what H/K does, it always seems like they're copying someone else.
  3. The sound is similar to the typical disk-stuck pads. For my part, it's becoming worse. (due to the persistent rain) The brakes likely require maintenance, therefore I was wondering when the last time the automobile was serviced was.
  4. The task should be very straightforward, provided the axle carrier does not obstruct the removal of the exhaust and propshaft. However, I am uncertain about the costs, as they can vary significantly; it is advisable to obtain multiple quotes.
  5. The urgency of the repair is contingent upon the extent of the leakage; if the staining is minimal, it may be addressed at a later time, but if the stained area is substantial, it is advisable to undertake the repair promptly. The movement of the drive shafts is the reason they have a finite lifespan.
  6. There are three seals: one for the input from the propshaft and two for the left and right drive shafts. You will need to inspect to determine which one is leaking.
  7. What is your location in London? I am aware of several contacts you can reach out to, depending on your location.
  8. I also terminated my contract with RAC due to the exorbitant renewal charge. They presented me with the choice of their complimentary "pay as you go" service. I can still receive a RAC callout in the event of a breakdown, albeit at an elevated fee, without a monthly subscription. Ultimately, they offered the most economical auto insurance, leading me to include my coverage with them. My insurance is due in a few weeks, and I have not experienced a breakdown thus far this year. Completely insured and no expenses incurred!
  9. I consistently appreciate words of this nature. In actuality, the Speed Limit denotes the maximum permissible speed rather than the anticipated driving velocity. Speed regulation has been a concern since the implementation of ASSO around six months ago. Widely recognised problem with numerous discussions addressing it. Simply use the accelerator to increase speed.
  10. That indeed appears to align with the recommended approach: to proceed cautiously on corners and in congested traffic.
  11. I engaged in this practice with all my Mercedes vehicles. Despite the installation of new batteries. Brief excursions deplete batteries.
  12. Hello, I do not possess a Rio. I do not possess a Rio and do not have access to the rear suspension diagram; however, the rear subframe appears to have a straightforward design, and I would surmise that it can accommodate both drum and disc brakes. I assume you are relocating components from your previous subframe, such as the shocks, springs, and hub carrier, among others? The calliper bracket is typically affixed to the hub carrier.
  13. Significant motor malfunction in Model S. It is a recognised solution to prevent future failure.
  14. Certainly utilise eBay for this purpose. I anticipate a minimum of £500, as there are numerous appealing items included.
  15. Avoid getting sand in your eyes! Congratulations on your new CX-90.
