  1. I have selected the carbon edition in Alpine Grey. I aimed to avoid a very "boy racer" appearance, although the grey contrasting with the black mirrors is quite appealing.
  2. Thank you for the kind reception. I will certainly share them if and when it occurs. 🤣
  3. One might expect a prompt construction date, given that I am the sole purchaser. 🤣
  4. I have paid a fully refundable deposit of £500 to the dealership; yet, you are correct in essence. I have ordered perhaps eight or nine new construction vehicles in my experience, but it has never been like this. Remarkably peculiar!
  5. I recently placed a deposit on a new C63s, targeting a delivery date in March. I find it peculiar that I must wait for a VIN assignment (build date issuance) before I can finalise financing arrangements. I completed it prior to the conclusion of September due to the favourable offers; yet, this seems to be inconsequential. I have been informed that the assignment of the build date may require several months. Has anyone lately placed an order for a C63 and can provide insight into their timelines? Yes, I acknowledge that the new C63 is inferior to its predecessor, preemptively addressing any potential criticism. 🙂
  6. As said, remove the fuse just in case.
  7. Mercs are among the easiest vehicles for wire kit installation. Dash mount cameras may also be purchased and used via the 12v socket. Minimal visible wiring. 👍 Installation typically costs £80. No cables!
  8. They do not freeze in winter, nor do they extend, damage the motor, or destroy anything while attempting to operate.
  9. I believe it is a caliper piston gaiter; the piston gaiter fits into its designated groove right above the fluid seal. Corrosion on the outside of this groove compresses the gaiter against the piston, resulting in it being stuck. Remove the piston and the gaiter, then clean the groove and the fluid seal groove. It is rather difficult to reinsert the gaiter.
  10. I consistently charge to 100% to avoid being unprepared for an unexpected adventure that need full range. I assert that the battery management mechanism preserves a buffer to prevent overcharging. If charging to 100% posed a significant risk, Kia would have implemented measures to proactively alert us.
  11. Thank you. I was concerned that a shorter measurement may provide inaccurate results, but I appreciate the clarification. It may take several days for it to reach in New Zealand, at a minimum.
  12. Indeed, I should and will likely need a scanner at some point. For the time being, I will use a temperature gun to target it.
  13. I have confirmed that it is really 1220 mm in length. Hooray.Caused me concern momentarily.
  14. Thank you. Assuming it is the proper length, should it register between 10 and 12 degrees? I should verify that it is 1220 long, since I recall seeing a measurement in the 900 range, despite it listing my wagon.
