  1. Within the forums' HOWTO area, I have a video thread that I posted a few years ago. I personally recorded the movie with my CLS.
  2. Indeed, my intention was to clarify that a £12.00 concert ticket does not include a £12.95 or £17.95 vehicle charge ticket.
  3. Acquiring a Railcard, or perhaps two if you qualify, would be sufficient to cover the cost of this excursion. Additionally, explore the concept of ticket splitting by visiting the following website: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/t..._medium=email&utm_campaign=solus_TicketySplit The cost of two refunds on a fake transaction is about two-thirds less than £250.
  4. My device connects immediately on some occasions, but on others I need to access music and activate Apple CarPlay. It is inconsequential to me.
  5. Please refer to the following link for valuable information: http://ocinsurance.co.uk/interface/external_view_email.php?AJ9345070129819243569414946313918&varI
  6. Numerous articles have been published on the use of signal boosting by criminals to pilfer vehicles equipped with keyless entry systems, as shown by a research conducted on 24 car models (source: https://www.wired.com/2016/03/study-finds-24-auto-models-open-unlocking-ignition-hack/). Recently, I acquired a CX-5 automobile over the weekend, prompting my inquiry into the most effective method of safeguarding the vehicle's keys from potential theft facilitated by signal amplification techniques. The keys were placed inside a biscuit tin, nevertheless access to the doors was nonetheless attainable by using the request button. Upon perusing the selection of "faraday" key pouches available for purchase on the popular online marketplace, Amazon, it has come to my attention that a considerable number of customer reviews express concerns over the efficacy of these pouches. Specifically, these reviews assert that despite the purported protective capabilities of the pouches, the enclosed keys are nevertheless susceptible to unauthorised access. In addition to the suggestion of placing vehicle keys in the refrigerator, as proposed in the article "Time to Stash Your Keyless Car Entry Fob in with the Frozen Pork Chops" (Naked Security, 2016), what alternate methods may be used for key storage? What methods do individuals in this community use to store their keys?
  7. I recently engaged in a conversation with an automotive dealer located in the northeastern region of Florida. The dealer informed me that they own an authorized and constructed allocation, which is anticipated to arrive within the next few months. However, it was conveyed that the dealer intends to charge a premium of $20,000 to $30,000 over the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), contingent upon the geographical location of the prospective customer. My previous supplier, who was also located in Florida, would get goods for me at the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). I have just acquired a sport utility vehicle (SUV) that is classified as a "temporary" model. While I acknowledge its favorable qualities, I must admit that I do not possess a strong affinity for it. I am now anticipating the resolution of the faults and defects that have been reported with the new Range Rovers.
  8. The components under consideration are the engine control system, air bag unit, and anti-lock braking system (ABS).
  9. Upon activating the key to the "on" position, an immediate popping sound is observed.
  10. I empathize with your situation and express sympathy for you, my friend.
  11. It is imperative that you prioritize the cultivation of a fulfilling and purposeful existence.
  12. Please go to the last portion of my previous message to ascertain the nature of my inquiry. I explicitly said that I did not inquire about the potential faultiness of the coil. I am inquiring about methods to assess the functionality of a coil using a multimeter, with the intention of comparing it to a known functional coil.The individual in question persistently argues in favor of the coil's lack of fault, a diagnostic approach that I consider to be lacking in effectiveness, despite my prior explanation of my activities. Nevertheless, I have already procured two replacement coils, and so, I express my gratitude for the absence of assistance provided.
  13. Have you thoroughly reviewed my first submission? In summary, the problem manifests whether the suspicious coil is placed on any cylinder, indicating that the coil in question is likely defective. The secondary coil will initiate the ignition process of the vehicle, although with noticeable vibrations, since only two cylinders are actively combusting fuel. When just the suspected problematic coil is attached, the car does not start.
  14. Based on the results of my earlier examination, it is evident that the coil is malfunctioning. I am seeking guidance on the proper procedure for assessing its condition using a multimeter.I appreciate the idea provided.
  15. Greetings, I have lately acquired a 2001 Mazda Familia equipped with a 2-liter engine. The issue at hand pertains to the observation that when initiating the vehicle's ignition, the idling process proceeds in a satisfactory and seamless way. However, upon promptly depressing and thereafter releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle's response is immediate but lacks smoothness. At the initiation, there will be a perceptible moment during which the engine's operation may seem momentarily impeded, followed by a subsequent resumption of regular revving. A similar outcome might be seen when water infiltrates the electrical connectors subsequent to an engine cleaning process. An intriguing observation is that this behavior only occurs while the vehicle is in the Park or Neutral gear. The lack of perceptibility is evident while the vehicle is in the Drive mode. On a certain occasion, my spouse contacted me to express dissatisfaction with the perceived loss of power and noticeable vibrations experienced in the automobile. I contacted the automotive technician, who advised me to replace the plug wires due to the issue of the leads sliding through the boots. I made the decision to replace the plugs as well. However, despite my acquisition of a set of Prestolite plug wires and NGK spark plugs, regrettably, the issue persists. On some occasions, the automobile operates well, but on others, it exhibits a noticeable vibration and reduced power output. I conducted a study investigation to ascertain the method for determining the operational status of all cylinders, since I had a suspicion that one or more cylinders were not functioning optimally. During the most recent occurrence of the problem, I opted to do a diagnostic test on the cylinders by sequentially detaching one coil pack at a time. Upon disconnecting the coil pack located on the passenger side of the engine, it was observed that the vehicle's idle remained same, characterized by roughness and vibration. Conversely, upon reconnecting the aforementioned coil pack and disconnecting the coil pack on the opposite side, the engine ceased to function and failed to restart. I conducted coil repositioning in order to ascertain if the issue originated from the connection or the coil. However, the results consistently aligned with the coil that was initially situated on the passenger side. Based on the aforementioned test, it is evident that the coil on the passenger side is faulty. Is it possible to do a coil test with a multimeter? What outcomes should I anticipate? Is it common for these coils to exhibit intermittent problems throughout the failure process? What is the reason for the intermittent functionality of the coil? I would want to express my gratitude in advance for any assistance that may be provided.
