  1. The price wasn't the main concern, but the 16% hike from the previous one, which was around a year ago, was.
  2. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?search-alias=aps&field-keywords=TPMS
  3. Today, I received a tpms warning. The tyre company and the one that fixed it both seem to have cheated me out of £28 (and you can't even begin to suggest that this amount accounts for inflation!).
  4. Experiencing a test drive instead of "possessing. I evaluated several S560e models last year, drawn by their enhanced battery capacity and range. Two private transactions in Central London. Departed feeling underwhelmed by the hybrid experience. Both were possessed by their initial proprietors, two medical doctors of small enterprises, residing in the central congestion area. Affluent proprietors, undertaking limited distances and utilising primary dealerships for maintenance. Despite the intriguing nature of electric driving, neither of these proprietors had taken the initiative to charge their vehicles, relying solely on the hybrid mechanism to maintain battery power, and both appeared to lack knowledge or interest in the intricacies of charging configurations. Individuals in their sixties and seventies who simply appreciated a large automobile. It was intriguing that both individuals were selling to transition to Bentleys, while my previous encounters with S Class owners indicated that sellers usually divested to acquire the newest S Class model. Remarkable automobiles featuring expansive displays and an overall sense of opulence, yet I departed with the impression that the technology surpasses the owners' enthusiasm for it. They merely desire an opulent automobile. I observed these vehicles on the assembly line at Sindelfingen, and they appeared remarkable at that time. The fuel efficiency appeared to be comparable to that of a standard V8. Few proprietors, apart from those in the luxury transportation sector, are concerned with fuel efficiency. The availability of used 560e vehicles appeared limited, suggesting that their sales in the UK were not substantial. Fewer than a few hundred in 2020, and appears to have been a lacklustre endeavour, likely due to the substantial tax benefits associated with operating a company like EQS EV.
  5. I believe I have committed a significant mistake. The filter warning indicator illuminated; my reliable mechanic was on vacation, and his "associate" claimed he could repair it, having previously serviced multiple Evoque filters. It appears he has eliminated the filter and reconfigured the computer. He stated that it is unnecessary and will not influence its MOT (2018 HSE 36K miles). It emits a slight amount of smoke when idling at low revolutions while coming to a stop. The repair incurred an expense of £1200. Have I acted foolishly? Must I invest additional funds and reinstall a filter? Guidance requested.
  6. An excellent piece of writing. Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family, but I must respectfully disagree with your courteous request. What a remarkable outlook you possess. Delight in the portable rocket. Last year's brief laps at Knockhill were fantastic. In fact, yours will surpass mine. 🥳
  7. I will try to recall where we obtained the unit. After having a new turbo installed, you can send back the old one to help pay for the refurbishment.
  8. Three "gentlemen of Eastern European heritage" showed up when a buddy advertised his meticulously maintained Audi A6 Avant for sale, even though he had specifically asked for only two. The vehicle was ten years old. One individual identified as a "mechanic" began to discover "faults" in various parts of the vehicle, such as scraped tires that required replacement of the suspension, wheels that had been aligned the day prior with no problems or unusual wear, and inadequate coolant. Since the engine was chilly, yes, it would be at the cold mark! Required servicing "It had been serviced four weeks ago, etc. Surprisingly, he turned down their offer of half his asking price. Then the strategies of nonviolent resistance began. We owe you for the gas and time spent driving from London; the automobile is junk. "Why make an offer if it's not good?" was all my pal had to say. "Oh and by the way you and your car are recorded on our cameras" Their departure was announced!
  9. Then this is it. The local tractor and harvester shop can handle all that kind of stuff where we reside, which is in a rural region. The tractor place released the back wheel bearing of an ancient W123 estate in seconds, but our local garage took forever.
  10. Mazda recommends 36 psi. It enhances both safety and wearability. Maximum pressure is 51 psi, not target pressure. Uneven wear and poor grip are consequences of increased pressure. Glue the door decal on.
  11. Yeah, the factory-installed tires on them are notoriously bad. A lot of people are noticing it. At around 15,000 miles, you should replace your tires.
  12. Wow, such a fantastic gift. Embrace it with open arms. If you have a four-day ticket, my recommendation is to take it easy on the first day since you will be too tired and blistered to enjoy the rest of the trip. Out of all the show stands, my fave is Lanzante. They bring the house down for even the most well-known businesses.
  13. I am uncertain; the vehicle was taken to the garage, and the technician is currently driving it to and from work to identify the issues. He mentioned that it only emits smoke on cold mornings, but he could not specify the odour he detected. I observe that it is indeed a significant identifier.
