  1. That is peculiar. Was the heater set to hot during the test? Perhaps 10 psi may not be sufficiently elevated under extreme heat; could it sustain a greater pressure? Assume it does not overheat whatsoever. Merely attempting to consider alternative perspectives on the matter.
  2. If the system maintains pressure throughout, the sole component you have yet to examine is the cap. When subjected to intense operation, it may become excessively hot, potentially causing the cap to fail under elevated pressure. In any case, acquire a new cap. They are exceedingly inexpensive. However, I would refrain from purchasing a Febi product as the recent one I acquired from them was unsatisfactory. Preferably acquire an original equipment manufacturer Ford component.
  3. It is an environment devoid of judgment 😊, and that was one aspect that particularly irritated me regarding the EV3 during my ownership. It truly perplexes me; it cannot possibly be that challenging for them to execute it.
  4. No, the EV3 consistently reverts to Normal mode each time it is powered on. Does your EV2 not perform similarly? I would be astonished if it did not.
  5. I possess a space saver wheel and kit acquired from The Wheel Shop. It accommodates the available space beneath the floor exceptionally well (once the polystyrene insert has been removed). Any of the equipment currently present can be repositioned in multiple locations, including within the new spare tire.
  6. You will have one of those pinhole resets on the infotainment unit screen, if my assumption is incorrect. Perhaps 'xtrailman' is referring to it.
  7. I appreciate your enlightening response. I am currently 57 years old, approaching my sixties, yet regrettably, I do not hold the position of a managing director in any organization. There are limited options available for purchase, and their value has not diminished sufficiently for me at this time; however, I remain intrigued. I owned a Passat GTE PHEV, which significantly reduced my expenses on fuel and maintenance due to the convenience of charging it from a standard 3-pin socket on my driveway. I must acknowledge that your compilation of 500s in your MB existence is rather remarkable.
  8. Greetings everyone. I am curious if anyone is willing to share their ownership experiences with either the S500e or S560e. I have previously possessed S classes (six w126s and one w220), and I owned an S500e in 2023, which was stolen after a month and proved to be defective; however, I am now eager to experience one again. I understand that responses may be infrequent, as I recognise their rarity, but I appreciate your assistance in advance.
  9. Slightly different experience but I've just had a car delivered by Mcerlane Logistics today mine was a BMW 530d Touring that I bought privately from somebody in Northern Ireland, so it wasn't one of Mcerlane repos. I only used them for transport and the car arrived the next day, driver called before getting here and everything went smoothly. So I can't comment on buying a vehicle directly from them, but the delivery side was fine for me
  10. If it's an over-the-air update, then you should just let it download and install.
  11. I changed my previous post from 900 to 99 since, although the 900 could be the more palatable ordinary classic, the 99 was the original from the niche (and turbo laaaaaaaaaag).
  12. The 99 turbo is quickly becoming a classic.

  14. Is a conventional map more your speed, or would you like a stage 1? Someone who has done mine remotely and, fingers crossed, is still going strong is someone I can suggest. From afar, he even disabled adblue and EGR for me.
  15. This automobile is at least 19 years old, so naturally, it will have its fair share of problems. The most important thing is to consider the previous owners and how well they took care of the vehicle. unless they managed it with very few resources. These two things are common in older vehicles.On the one hand, you may be quite conscientious and on the other hand completely careless. Look for gearbox service, differential service, etc. Those are the things I look for. On the flip side, if a coil spring cracked, did they change one or two, or all four? And so on.
