  1. Hi everyone, just sharing my experience as well. I bought a 2018 Toyota Hilus through Grimes a few weeks back and the price was definitely attractive, and they were upfront about it being a repossession. Delivery took around 10 days instead of the promised week but they explained that one of their transporters had a delay, which was understandable. The only downside the car had a couple more scuffs than expected, but when I flagged it, they offered a partial refund to cover minor cosmetic repairs and apologised for the inconvenience. Not perfect, but they did make things right can’t complain about that.
  2. They required charging around once year. We possess two in this vicinity: one associated with the R170 and the other with the C209.
  3. I removed the cradle from my 209; it was superfluous and the appearance improved significantly without it. It required only a few minutes for removal.
  4. Congratulations on your acquisition. What an automobile. MSL offers competitively priced sports catted long tube headers and remapping services; it is advisable to consult with them. If I had retained my 6.2, that is what I would have done (I miss that car 😅).
  5. I have encountered Nick several times at Goodwood; he is a pleasant individual who consistently engages in discussions about automobiles.
  6. Wishing you the best of luck, Gentils; may it be worth the effort.
  7. Thank you. Although my model lacks identical controls, I have successfully reset the Service Alert. Thank you very much
  8. I want a reset of the service notice alert on my 2016 Cee'd 4 1600 Diesel (UK model). I can reach the notification screen that displays the distance and the number of days since the previous reset. Could someone please offer a link to the technique or detailed step-by-step instructions? I have conducted an online search, but all findings pertain to either later variants or non-UK models. I decline to return the vehicle to the Kia dealership that last serviced it, since I have had the vehicle inspected and it is evident that some of the tests for which I paid were not performed. Thank you in advance.
  9. The 724 gearbox is a dual-clutch gearbox, not a torque converter type, and requires servicing every 62,000 miles or every 5 years. It is quite probable that a shifting calibration is required, or alternatively, your clutch plates may be deteriorated. It is anticipated that conditions will improve with a fluid modification and a software update.
  10. Thank you for expressing your opinions on this exceptional vehicle.
  11. Key Points: Gold enveloped it effortlessly. The inspector was required to visit the showroom to corroborate the Audi dealer's assessments. One strut was entirely ruptured with no remaining fluid, while the other three exhibited leakage but continued to function well.
  12. I believed that pertained to a DPF in diesel engines. comparable to a feline.
  13. Bring the old hose to a nearby hydraulics business and request that they fabricate a new one while you wait; it is far more economical than Mr. MB's services.
  14. I am uncertain. Would you be able to discern if I shot a photograph with the lights illuminated?
  15. Greetings. Thank you for your response. I have included a picture of the switch. Would it be beneficial? Thank you.
  16. Greetings, I own a 2010 BMW 520d that could not pass its MOT due to a headlight problem. I have included the MOT failure document. I was informed that the angel eye was malfunctioning and was given a cost of £1200 for the repair. I cannot afford this and am enquiring if purchasing this item on eBay (screenshot attached) and replacing it would be effective, but I am uncertain whether it is the proper one. I often encounter xenon and halogen yet remain uncertain about my possession! Could somebody provide information, please? The registration number is LO10VNS. Please enquire if more information is required, since I am quite inexperienced. Thank you very much.
  17. Undoubtedly, the facelift made it even more striking in that regard. The lines on the grille align seamlessly with the air intake fins and headlamps.
  18. I concur, Needsnewtyres2. We believed that was the commitment we were making, but it seems that we should have conducted thorough research first.
  19. The issues related to CDs have been thoroughly examined in previous years. I have thoroughly examined and acquired knowledge on these subjects. Mazda temporarily discontinued the use of CDs in their recent history. I am seeking information on the latest iteration of the CD manufacturing, particularly with regards to its reintroduction in 2023.
  20. Last autumn, we assisted our daughter in purchasing her first brand-new vehicle, a 2023 CX-30 Carbon Edition. Although I have never owned a new automobile before, I used my extensive lifetime of knowledge to assist her in successfully finalising a favourable agreement. We declined the first prototype of this device that was presented to us for a trial run. The windscreen was faulty and had a lens effect that caused distortion in a specific location, affecting visibility. We carefully examined the second option that was presented to us. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of it under various driving circumstances. The automobile was in excellent condition, we successfully completed the transaction, and my daughter will be driving it home. She used the automobile on a regular basis and it is functioning well. I am happy that I no longer have to troubleshoot her automobile. After a certain period of time, maybe about 400 miles, she contacts me expressing her worry about what she has been witnessing. While travelling at modest speeds, approximately in the range of 40-50 miles per hour, with mild pressure on the accelerator, the driver has seen a noticeable and abrupt jerking or jolting sensation. This is significant enough that while driving at night, the headlight beam pattern may be observed rapidly tilting downwards and then returning to its original position. During these instances of hiccups, the tachometer needle experiences a little decrease in position followed by an instant return to its original position. Furthermore, there are instances when she is working in such circumstances and experiences a consistent vibration that can be felt, such as via the soles of your feet on the floor. We were apprehensive, so she brought it to the dealership. Indeed, they claim to be oblivious to any abnormalities. Commence in-depth talks, engage with various shop personnel, and do further test drives. They continue to assert that there is nothing worth observing. Upon doing more study, we, as customers, have come to the realisation that this automobile is equipped with the infamous feature of CYLINDER DEACTIVATION. The dealership failed to mention this at any point. Indeed, they have reintroduced it. We possess further Mazda expertise and have seen instances of cylinder deactivation issues in previous versions. Despite previous concerns, the issue has resurfaced once again. The deactivation is undoubtedly linked to the cylinder function, as shown by the display screen. The automobile has been heavily used, accumulating over 8,000 km, however its condition has not improved. The dealer is making empty promises as usual, but taking no action. As someone with expertise in technology and mechanics, I am collecting information in order to prevent this issue from escalating further. Is there anybody else facing a similar conundrum?
  21. May I inquire about the rationale for the gradual elimination of Telluride?
  22. Although Spyder offers a distinct driving experience, I believe you will ultimately regret your decision. If your intention for this discussion is to persuade you against upgrading, then I strongly recommend that you allow yourself to be convinced against it. If it is possible to own all options, it is advisable to do so. However, in this case, you have acquired the R8, which is the highest quality model available, equipped with very uncommon enhancements directly from the manufacturer. Additionally, opting for a black automobile may lead to regret since it seems stunning just momentarily after being washed and meticulously cleaned, until it quickly accumulates dust particles, necessitating another round of washing.
  23. I agree with the sentiments expressed by the others. The current appearance of the object is commendable, but it may benefit from the addition of larger, more slender spokes on the wheel. However, it is plausible that such an enhancement may exceed the financial constraints you have specified.
