Did you also purchase anything from Summit a long time ago, maybe about 15 years ago? Whenever I search on Summit, I am unable to see a shipping option to the United Kingdom. Returning to RA. When I read about the challenges people have in getting components from Europe, I frequently question why people don't use or at least contemplate using RA.

What is the quantity? I am 18 years old and I am unsure if this is advantageous or disadvantageous.

I have never used self-parking before. I often use an acoustic lock, relying heavily on voice commands. Avoid using the web browser.

Windscreen wiper making contact with the frame
MDMH757 replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
Excellent, that resolved the issue! I successfully modified both sides as they seemed to be excessively elevated. I much appreciate the reference pictures you provided, since they were important in assisting me. I conducted a test and found that the wipers no longer make contact with the frame. Thank you! -

Great, I appreciate it much. I will attempt this and provide feedback afterwards. -
Windscreen wiper making contact with the frame

I am uncertain about whether the windscreen has been replaced. I recently purchased it secondhand. Carfax did not indicate any instances of accidents or windscreen replacements. However, this does not definitively indicate that it has not been substituted. Could you provide any details on the incorrect installation position? -

Certainly. -
Upon observation, I have discovered that the driver side wiper extends beyond the desired range and makes contact with the frame around the windscreen on each swipe. Do you have any suggestions or insights about the potential causes of this issue? The 2021 CX-30.

What are your opinions on the pre-2009 nose design of the SLK compared to the later model?
-
Resembling a tank, it seems compact and athletic, although it is in no way similar to an MX5.I really dislike them.

Thank you for the previous two messages. Yes, my partner and I had a previous generation 320 SLK. The performance was fantastic, but the whole experience was lacking in excitement. However, considering that it was the American version, it is possible that the exhaust system was designed to minimise noise.The user's text is enclosed in tags.An MB is not definitive, but there are few choices that really appeal to me. As a result of the wind and rain, Saltash has shifted to the east bank of the Tamar River.

I am aware that these are first world concerns. I will cover a distance of 2,000 kilometres annually. Primarily engaging in day travels, leisurely exploring various destinations on pleasant weather days. Ideally, a vehicle will not encounter any issues. However, in the event that it does, I have access to a skilled local mechanic who costs £20 per hour. I am now seeking a convertible car specifically for use during the summer season. The automobiles I owned before were. I had an MGB that had a high seating position. I want greater acceleration, so I sold it and purchased a Chimaera. Although I like most aspects of the Chimaera, I concluded that it lacked sufficient distinctiveness. I sold a car that was similar to an MGB but had enhanced performance. Purchased a Boxster S. I went at a really fast pace, but it was uninteresting... so I sold it. After taking a sabbatical, I purchased a couple of large motorcycles. I sold one of them after two years and came across a well-maintained TR7. However, after a year, I realised that I missed the feeling of power, so I sold the TR7 as well. As a result, I now have a substantial amount of money. I do not have a preference for cars similar to MGb's, S2000's, or mx5's. Last week, a beautiful Alfa Spider 24V was put up for sale in both vehicle and classic categories. However, the small front lights of the car received mixed opinions. Perhaps a Mercedes-Benz SLK? What is the alternative?

Lately, I have had a strong desire to get an SL. I am fond about the redesigned 2009 model. The features such as the nose and more power come at a price of £10,000 and over. Some individuals suggest that the price is around £14,000. Perhaps reconsidering the options, what about considering a 500 instead? The vehicle offers a significant amount of power, a lower tax rate, and comparable insurance costs. Additionally, it is priced at less than £14,000. Upon a cursory examination, I noticed that the ABC element appears often throughout the text. After a brief analysis of this element, I must express my concern. It seems that I should steer clear of...but surprisingly, a visually appealing 500 is listed for sale on eBay, conveniently located near my area in Saltash. The 2002 model seems visually appealing with little mileage and is said to have a full service history, giving it a neat appearance. However, there is an issue with the ABC. Should I.....do I have the courage to>>>. Does the potential inconvenience justify the cost? Is the warranty for 3 months extendable? I would appreciate guidance in making a decision. Alternatively, should I wait for the 2009 on 350, which seems to be a good option?

What is the reason for the sluggish pace?
MDMH757 replied to WhisperingWillow's topic in General Car Chat
No, it refers to the act of keeping an automobile in a stationary position by using the brake, while simultaneously increasing the engine's power by pressing the accelerator pedal, in order to generate more force before releasing the brake. Yes, it is recommended to turn off the air conditioning for optimal functioning. -
As mentioned by @EtherealWanderer, the issue might be attributed to the presence of the original battery and the duration it remained unused before your purchase. Even a battery that is 4 years old may be nearing the end of its lifespan. Once again, it is undeniable that all online forums are populated by individuals that have various problems or concerns. That is why many people actively seek out forums to express their grievances. There are a few individuals who express dissatisfaction and criticise various brands, regardless of their relevance. However, there are not many people who join them in praising these brands. On this platform, there are numerous members who own or have previously owned earlier models of the Evoque, and many of them have not encountered any problems. Personally, I have owned a 17 plate Evoque for over 5 years, and the only issues I have experienced are the well-known windscreen and power steering rack problems, both of which were resolved without any difficulties. Aside from the tyres, brakes, discs, and my new AGM battery, there are no other issues. excellent luck with your quest. However, if it turns out that the Evoque you returned only had a battery problem, it would be a pity if everything else was in excellent condition and met all of your requirements.

I like their emphasis on a somewhat inexpensive car, which is usually driven far less than the average yearly distance. If California really prioritised emissions reduction, they should concentrate their efforts on reintroducing school buses. What is the exact number of automobiles, in the thousands, that are idling and transporting children to and from school in my nearby area every day, including myself? California, please do the mathematical calculations.Rest: What an excellent strategy to transition individuals to aftermarket tuning...Laughing out loud

While it may seem like a reasonable suggestion, I have found that with all the previous cars I have had, whether they were front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, I typically get or am getting 15-30k miles out of the tyres. However, I suspect that rear-wheel drive vehicles tend to experience more wear and tear.
-
I may consider trying them in the future, but I am hesitant about spending more money on tyres as I do not see any more mileage compared to cheaper tyres.
-
The wear on the passenger side is distributed uniformly, whereas the wear on the driver's side is more pronounced on the inner part.

Greetings, My 2006 CLS has been experiencing excessive tyre wear for some years now, particularly on the back tyres due to its rear-wheel drive configuration. Most of my tyres are only surviving between 3000 and 8000 km. I have tried Michelin tyres as well as cheaper types, but regardless of the name, they always seem to deteriorate rapidly. I have a pair of inexpensive tyres on the front of my vehicle, and they have remained functional for over two years. The car is mostly driven on the motorway and I previously had a wheel alignment done, but it did not resolve the problem of wear. We would much welcome any responses. The automobile is incurring exorbitant expenses on tyres.

Indeed, this issue can be classified as a manufacturer fault with a high certainty, and it is likely the most prevalent error observed in the second generation R8 model. The item in question should be replaced since it falls within the warranty agreement. Last fall, I had my left light replaced under warranty. However, after about one month of real road usage, the replacement bulb failed due to humidity and a dashboard error. Currently, the light is experiencing a problem and is only partially illuminating. In addition, the rear light of my prior generation 2 R8 malfunctioned shortly after purchasing the vehicle second-hand. I replaced it myself and it failed again about one year later. Subsequently, the other side also had a failure. Overall, I have had a total of 5 faulty rear taillights on the R8. These lights are of poor quality and can be described as substandard. 🙄🤬 In addition, I am acquainted with another individual in Estonia who had the same issue. Regarding cracked light: Yes, my previous second-generation R8 also had cracks in both of its lights. More precisely, the lower section. I hypothesise that they develop microscopic fractures which ultimately progress into noticeable fissures. These lights should be completely free of moisture if they are defect-free. My right side does not experience any condensation initially, even after getting new ones. However, after many months of usage, condensation unexpectedly appeared.
