  1. Thank you all for your assistance. Tomorrow, I will contact the dealer to inquire about the cost of replacing the barrels for the locks. Out of curiosity, does anyone have information regarding the pricing of these replacement barrels from the dealer? I have confirmed that my insurance covers the locks, but it does not specify how this affects claims or the cost of renewing my policy next year.
  2. Greetings, everyone. I seem to have misplaced the primary key for my 2018 F80 M3, and unfortunately, I am unaware of the whereabouts of the spare key. Is there anybody who can provide information on the cost and process of obtaining a new one or, preferably, deactivating the old one? I have consulted a few companies listed on Checkatrade, and the most favourable offer I received is £950 for a non-urgent call out. Unfortunately, my two nearby authorised dealerships will not be open until Monday. I am unconcerned about the possibility of theft due to the additional layers of protection I have implemented. Moreover, I am certain that I can access it via the application, so eliminating the need for anybody to resort to lock-picking methods to get entry. I have come across information stating that obtaining a new key and reprogramming it from inside the vehicle is all that is required. However, I find it difficult to believe that the process is as simple as it seems. Thank you in advance
  3. Indeed, the first year of the CX-90 is plagued by a multitude of issues, both documented and undocumented. The MHEV seems to have fewer issues, however its performance will ultimately be contingent upon the specific characteristics of your vehicle. The majority of CX-90 vehicles have performed well and have seen few issues, with the exception of Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) and recalls that may be applicable to your specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). If your CX-90 encounters any issues, they will need attention and resolution. Certain merchants excel in this regard. By exercising patience, it is likely that the subsequent model year will exhibit improvements, as has been the historical trend, however it is important to note that unforeseen issues may still arise. Several recent automobile models from different manufacturers have had a number of issues. Will the CX-70 surpass the 2024 CX-90 in terms of performance and features? The introduction of a new model has left everyone unaware once again. Due to my need for 6 or 7 seats to accommodate guests, the CX-70 would not be suitable for me. Each individual must assess if a vehicle is suitable for their needs. Prices vary based on the specific model levels and powertrain options. In frigid climates, the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) has challenges with battery range, necessitating a switch to standard hybrid mode while the battery warms up. However, the electric vehicle's range is limited to just 30 miles. Therefore, it is suitable for shorter excursions as long as you have the ability to recharge the vehicle every night, either at home or at work. Standard petrol is suitable for all CX-90 vehicles.
  4. Examine your part to see if it is a Pierberg or a Bosch component, then do an online search. Frequently, there will be two distinct component numbers, one associated with Mercedes and the other with the manufacturer.
  5. The annual payment amounts to around £180. Indeed, it was very remarkable, particularly during the first five years. The 2006 SLK seems costly at £700.
  6. I ultimately used the differential to elevate the rear. I did not see any problems with doing this task.
  7. Excellent, I appreciate you for sharing the photographs! I have located the front central jacking point and there is no need to be concerned about it. Regarding the back, it may be inferred that the two thicker fins are the location where the jack would be positioned centrally.
  8. Thank you for your feedback. I own the rubber pads, nevertheless, I will need to attempt using my jack stands. As a precautionary measure, I will use jack stands to elevate the front of the vehicle, while using a floor jack to raise the back section individually. Indeed, I am also apprehensive about the back central jack point.
  9. I want to independently replace the oil for the first time, and concurrently, I intend to do tyre rotation, given that the odometer indicates a mileage of 10,000 miles. I own a single floor jack and two stands that I have used on each successive vehicle to secure all four corners. However, I am unable to determine the proper procedure for raising all four corners of this vehicle due to the presence of protruding fins at the rear centre jack point, potentially affecting the differential. It is imperative that I avoid causing any harm to the differential or the fins themselves. I have not yet had the opportunity to locate the front centre jack point, hence I cannot provide any information on that matter. Has anybody successfully dismantled all four corners of their CX-90? I am now experiencing difficulty in efficiently rotating the tyres without the need to raise a minimum of three corners. I would much appreciate your feedback!
  10. It is a difficult decision, but I believe that the GT would be a more advantageous purchase. However, personally, I did not find the r-tronic box appealing throughout my search. I recommend trying both options, since the s-tronic was really effective for me.
  11. Some dealers do not charge for maintenance on their inventory. I wouldn't be concerned about it. What was the problem with the original battery in the 2020 car? It seems too early for a battery to need replacement.
  12. They were priced at $9900, which explains why some customers chose not to choose the option. They are much more troublesome to manage while monitoring the automobile. I see why someone may choose the vehicle without them and why someone might like the car with the basic brakes. They remain very functioning.
  13. I recently replaced both the main battery and the auxiliary backup battery in my CLS vehicle. The replacement was carried out by an independent service provider, who happens to be my regular service technician. The battery replacement process went smoothly without any complications. After installation, I simply allowed the clock to adjust to the correct time and scanned for radio stations. The batteries did not require delicate handling.
  14. I have proficiently administered Gyeon Duraflex on several surfaces, and it has commendable qualities, although at a considerable cost. In consideration of the matter, it may be said that with proper pre-application preparation, a sealant of commendable quality, while not necessary of high cost, might provide comparable outcomes albeit with a potentially heightened need for care.
  15. One option is to configure one of the panels to display a digital readout of either the speed or the temperature. One alternative or the other. The item may be found inside the established menu. The lower portion of the display only shows the STAR information.
  16. The STAR system has the capability to modify the display settings to include the temperature information.
  17. Retrieve your lease agreement and examine its contents. This phenomenon is genuine. The veracity of information shared by individuals on the internet is questionable. As previously said, the process of removal is comparatively simpler than that of installation, and both procedures are rather straightforward. There are two prominent manufacturers of aftermarket hitch receivers, namely Curt and Horizon Global. The latter company markets its devices under the brand names Draw-Tite and U-Haul. Locate a nearby establishment that offers both the provision and installation services for the receiver, or alternatively, consider procuring the receiver via a mail-order service and doing the installation process alone. The webpage provided contains instructional videos demonstrating the installation process for hitches on a 2017 Mazda CX-9.
  18. The Mercedes-Benz components available on eBay from authorized dealerships such as Mercedes Edinburgh or Mercedes Newcastle have been seen to be priced comparably or even more affordably than aftermarket parts.
  19. The LED screen on my device, namely the clock display, is exhibiting a persistent red hue as of 2021.5. Is anybody else experiencing this issue?
  20. It is important to verify the qualifications and credentials of a locksmith prior to making a decision to engage their services. It is advisable to verify the possession of appropriate licensure, insurance coverage, and certification by a locksmith firm. In addition, it would be beneficial to consider online evaluations of the organization and get feedback from customers. I have a preference for using the services of locksmiths in Miami to address various security or locking concerns.
  21. The outcome is contingent upon the interplay between supply and demand. There are instances when some dealerships in the Southern California region continue to impose prices that exceed the standard market value. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that there is a lack of any specific sporting activity available on the premises. Additionally, it is important to mention that the limited number of full-sized items now present on the premises have already been purchased and are awaiting collection. Therefore, it may be inferred that in the absence of any inventory, they have the ability to.
  22. In the borough of Manhattan, my acquaintance made a purchase of a V8 SE vehicle at a price that exceeded its original value by $15,000. The vehicle was purchased from the dealership without prior arrangement.
  23. The problem comes when the consumer regenerates the product and excessively adds oil.
  24. I have not had any difficulties with them; but, it has been a couple of years since I last engaged in their use. It is possible that the use of oil on the components in question may lead to potential issues with the mass air flow (MAF) sensor, however I cannot assert this with complete certainty.
