Thank you for the responses. While I am not seeking track-level performance, I do like pushing the limits on winding roads. As far as I know, my suspension has not been modified since it was first installed 140,000 miles ago. Additionally, there is a broken spring on the front, therefore I will replace all four springs with standard parts.

Seeking input from those with prior experience with Bilstein shock absorbers. I get that the B6 and B8 have identical valve configurations, however the B8 model is of shorter length. I own a 2013 C220 S204 equipped with the original factory-installed lowered suspension. I am interested in replacing the shocks and springs. I want to maintain the current height of the vehicle and I am uncertain if I should choose for B6 or B8 shocks. I have sent an email to Bilstein, but I have not received a response. Is the B8, which is shorter, too short to be compatible with factory lowered springs?

One may also consider comparing the colour of the gearbox fluid with a gearbox fluid colour chart in order to assess its proximity to the point of requiring replacement. The colour dark brown need modification, red is fresh, and the colour in between is... in the middle.

As a basic modification, you have the option to change the front grille. There are several choices available, including the C63 appearance (but there are also various additional alternatives to choose). Nevertheless, purchasing it will cost you between £100 and £150. Additionally, you will be required to notify your insurance provider, which, given your age of 17, may result in higher expenses.

We had several enjoyable gatherings. Recently, a remembrance on Facebook showed us at Hartside café in the snow with almost no vision.

It's enjoyable to see impressive automobiles from a decade or more ago, when high-quality hot hatches like the Mazda3 MPS could be purchased new for about £20k. Considering the current high prices of vehicles, I dread to imagine the cost of an equal model in today's market.

I just use a swirlomatic automated vehicle wash and do not concern myself with it. I used to strongly believe in their effectiveness and considered persons who did not use them to be too cautious. However, I had a negative encounter with one last week. My usual automated vehicle wash was out of order, so I went to the petrol station across the street that has an automatic car wash. The experience was unpleasant due to excessive strength and speed, resulting in several swirl marks on my just paint-corrected automobile. I really regret visiting the car wash.

I can access camera video and live feed on my phone or submit data to the cloud.

I own the 750 2-channel Blackvue and have no complaints about it.

It is typical for electric vehicles, like Mazda and other manufacturers, to not achieve the mileage quoted under real-world conditions. Higher temperatures will result in increased distance covered by the battery. I have had the automobile since September 2022 and have determined that the ideal air temperature is typically in the mid to late 20s. The battery is still pretty cold at 18 to 20 degrees. In your late 20s, you can achieve a distance reasonably near to the claimed range. For instance, the automobile is expected to go 39 miles on a full charge, but in fact, you can cover roughly 30 miles. However, it is highly influenced by factors like as your driving technique, speed, vehicle load, and the selected brake regeneration level.

We replenish our energy after each journey. It is uncertain what is optimal for long-term battery health with frequent charging, but the advantage of using a PHEV rests in charging it as often as possible to maximise the advantages of the battery capacity and electric motor. If you don't do it often, you will wind up carrying about unnecessary weight in the form of dead batteries.

Initially, it is advisable to rotate the wheels from the rear to the front between alternate maintenance intervals, contingent upon mileage, in order to achieve uniform tyre wear across all four tyres. By using this practise, it becomes feasible to replace all four tyres simultaneously, a judicious course of action. Based on the observed state of the front tyres, it is my contention that the problem at hand is not attributable to the specific brand and type of the tyres, but rather to the vehicle itself. It is hypothesised that the tyres may be experiencing either slippage or excessive friction. It is advisable to seek professional services from a respected establishment to do a comprehensive alignment of the full-geometry suspension. Additionally, it is recommended to have the rear suspension, brakes, and parking brake inspected.

I have precisely same feature on my A209 AMG sport model. I had undergone a wheel alignment procedure after installing a fresh set of tyres. Subsequently, the vehicle's handling exhibited suboptimal characteristics, as I experienced a noticeable oscillation or vibration, sometimes referred to as a "shimmy," when encountering uneven road surfaces or obstacles, resembling the phenomenon known as scuttle shake. The decision was made to return the item due to an excessively high rate of wear. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the tyre retailer had mistakenly inputted an incorrect model, lacking the desired staggered arrangement. The establishment proceeded to reset the item in question and provided a complimentary installation of new tyres. However, I have refrained from revisiting that establishment since that time. Here is the thread. Disregard the use of the term "asymmetric" in my previous statement; I intended to refer to the concept of "staggered" instead.

I am pleased to have found a car that aligns with my preferences. The text refers to many automotive terms, like PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), HUD (Head-Up Display), head room, crossover, and Goldilocks size. Concerns The Mazda CX5's seating arrangement The safety technology, including the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), is subpar. I have a mentally exhausting commute. Is it possible for me to reside with the knob? Mazda has so far resisted the implementation of full touch functionality.

Regrettably, I am unable to provide any visual documentation since the aforementioned materials are concealed from view. (and I will refrain from disassembling my vehicle)

The soundproofing of my CX-60, manufactured in September 2023, is insufficient. Following my test drive in a demonstration vehicle, I conveyed to the sales manager my preference for purchasing a car that had superior soundproofing capabilities. He made a promise to rectify the issue. Subsequently, with the arrival of my vehicle, it was determined that there was no need for more soundproofing. It seems that Mazda has implemented an upgrade to enhance their product.

Purpose of inquiry: The 2017 C Class 250d vehicle has a Fuse Box positioned at the right-hand end of the Dashboard, next to the point of contact with the driver's door. The removal of the Fuse Box cover may be challenging due to its snug fit, necessitating the use of Plastic Trim tools to prevent any damage to the cover's plastic material. There are several fuses that may be "piggybacked" from, including those that provide constant live and ignition live power sources.

Could you please provide the model year of your C300d?

In Germany, the present situation indicates a minimum period of six years. Therefore, it is essential to prioritise making the appropriate strategic choice for the collective.

Indeed, your observation is accurate. However, considering the perceived superfluous intricacy and the evident challenges encountered with Mazda's existing SUV models, the matter at hand is not a matter of if this will occur, but rather a matter of when it will transpire and, in this particular instance, the extent of the financial implications. However, due to Mazda's provision of a six-year guarantee to all customers, the level of concern over this matter is expected to be minimal. The service provider will do the repair without any charge. However, under the present conditions, the depreciation of this vehicle will be very pronounced. There is a general lack of desire for the product beyond the period covered by the warranty. This phenomenon is once again resulting in a direct financial detriment to individuals.

There are no significant issues present in this context. Thus yet, there have been just a limited number of minor concerns. The construction of a project in Japan is scheduled to commence in June 2023. At a certain juncture, the suspension system had contact with a pothole, resulting in a clanking sound or reaching its lowest point. The situation was very awkward, given that we had an acquaintance present in the vehicle. The presence of a newly manufactured vehicle emitting a pronounced metallic noise inside the interior compartment is deemed unfavourable. It is unclear how they were able to mishandle the situation. Mazda asserts that there is no issue present in this situation. Another minor concern is to the improvement, but not complete resolution, of the driveshaft vibration issue. During instances of intense acceleration, the vehicle experiences a noticeable shudder or tremor within the mid to high range of revolutions per minute (RPM). Although not a significant obstacle, it is nevertheless disconcerting for a just purchased vehicle.

It is worth noting that battery capacity is often evaluated using the 20-hour rate. Therefore, a 75Ah battery that is completely charged and in optimal condition will be able to provide a continuous current of 3.75 amps for a duration of 20 hours. The indicated capacity will be significantly reduced with an increase in the load. However, it seems that the capacity is still relatively insufficient.

The product of 11 amperes and 12 volts yields a power output of 132 watts, if the calculations are accurate. Consequently, it may be inferred that a component or system is generating a significant amount of heat. (Warmer than two headlamp bulbs on main beam) So finding it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Is there a block heater installed in your vehicle? It is advisable to inspect the control relay for the block heater in order to ensure its proper functioning. An other, if less probable, factor that might contribute to the issue is a malfunctioning seat controller or motor. However, it is unlikely that this component would draw a current of 11 amps, and any potential odour associated with such a high current would surely be detectable.

According to legal regulations, it is required for the display to indicate both miles per hour (MPH) and kilometres per hour (KMH).

The comparison between amber turn indicators and red turn indicators is a topic of interest.Is the fluctuating US market responsible for the performance of BMW? I recall a time when BMW employed amber turn indicators in their rear lights. However, numerous BMW owners were eager to replace them with either entirely red tail lights or tail lights featuring a transparent turn indicator lens housing an amber bulb coated with silver, thereby eliminating the amber appearance when the bulb was not illuminated. In light of BMW's recent introduction of a monochromatic rear tail light for the US market, it is evident that the company is seeking to acquire what it now lacks.The European version of the product has an amber lens specifically designed for the turn indication. The current circumstance presents a scenario in which there are no favourable outcomes.We want what we lack, regardless of what is provided to us. The rear tail lights on the e38 7 series throughout the 1990s and 2000s were characterised by the following design features. The prevailing trend was replacing the amber lens with the Euro version, which only used an amber bulb.
