  1. Greetings, I seek to have my MS85 2015 RWD modified with a coolant delete in the UK but have encountered difficulties in locating an appropriate garage. Residing in Hertfordshire, I am now considering a garage named ‘Tesla Specialist Birmingham,’ which primarily promotes itself on Facebook and has numerous posts indicating positive experiences in this domain. However, I am quite apprehensive over its absence of an online presence, as it lacks a conventional website. It has favourable evaluations on Facebook; nonetheless, I would like to ascertain if anyone here has utilised it and had a positive experience.
  2. Thank you for your comprehensive response. It elucidates all the information I required had I perused the instruction.chuckle: Thank you all for your cooperation. Greatly appreciated.
  3. You are entirely accurate. As is customary, I neglected to peruse the user manual before to commencing operation. Thank you for your contribution.
  4. Thank you, everyone; it is really appreciated.
  5. Hello, I seek assistance. I entered the vehicle and activated the start button as usual; but, when I attempted to shift into forward or reverse gear, no response occurred, and it remained in the park position. I attempted to power cycle multiple times, but it proved ineffective. I observed that the door handle was in the open position, so I exited the vehicle and secured it using the remote. However, when re-entering, the situation remained unchanged. After approximately 10 minutes, it displayed the "ready" notification, and everything was functioning properly once more. Was I at fault? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. In addition, I am fond of the car. I appreciate your cooperation in advance.
  6. Thank you for that; nevertheless, this item requires hardwiring into the vehicle. It is not a standalone unit.
  7. Greetings, everyone. I own a 2016 CLA200 Shooting Brake and want to add a front-facing dashcam. I am seeking a wireless option to avoid unsightly cables. I have been informed that they exist and function well, however I am unable to locate any. Has anybody experienced or heard of these? And if that is the case, where are they located? Seeking one that is simple to install with few complications. Thank you, everyone.
  8. Where can I get battery servicing, charging, or conditioning in Aberdeen?
  9. I am operating a Mercedes A200, and the screen recently displayed "Stop Vehicle, Leave Engine Running." The battery voltage is below expectations due to insufficient information. Sent to a friend's recommended workshop to measure the battery voltage, which registered at 12.45V. Has anybody encountered this previously? Uncertain if the issue is to the battery or the alternator. Will the problem code disappear after replacing the battery? Please recommend workshops for the completed requirements as well. I appreciate your assistance in advance.
  10. My perspective differs little. I believe that a hundred percent capacity is sometimes a historical need for LFP batteries at now. Based on my observations of several presentations on EV batteries, it is advisable to maintain a number below 75% for the sake of lifespan. I typically charge to 70% most of the time, and when I want a wider range, I charge to 100%. This seems to extend the battery's longevity, particularly after its use in the electric car. Research indicates that consistently charging to 100% may have adverse long-term consequences on the battery; nevertheless, the vehicle is likely to succumb to rust before these battery concerns arise.
  11. There are two options for linking your phone to the GPS system. First, activate tethering on your phone and connect the vehicle to the phone's hotspot. The vehicle will thereafter use the phone's data to provide real-time services, such as traffic updates and local fuel pricing. Utilising a USB connection enables access to Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, along with its associated functionalities, like mapping and navigation. Many members like using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay for navigation and music streaming.
  12. Paint may darken. Modern vehicles possess a clear coat layer over the colour coat, which is susceptible to fading. This clear coat may yellow with time, particularly on lighter-colored vehicles, resulting in a darker appearance of the entire paint job.
  13. I utilise 0W-20 Mobil 1 totally synthetic oil and a Fram filter. The total cost for both items is $30 plus VAT. The CX-30 facilitates oil changes, providing considerable peace of mind when performed independently. Our vehicle is a 2021 model equipped with a non-turbo 2.5L engine, which may necessitate a different viscosity than that required by the turbo variants. Despite widespread criticism of Fram oil filters, I have utilised them for over 40 years without encountering any problems. I replace my oil more frequently than the average individual, hence I do not require a 20,000-mile filter. I change my oil well before reaching 5,000 miles, typically in my own driveway. The caution over the "quick change" locations is justified, however. Some are acceptable, while others may be precarious; the "upselling" can be characterised as predatory.
  14. Moreover, the fuel efficiency significantly deteriorates in scenarios when the battery is unnecessarily utilised; this is not a viable alternative.
