Re: Inquiry regarding camber and tyre rotation for a track day.

I personally alternate from front to rear at the conclusion of each day. Additionally, it provides me the opportunity to inspect the suspension components and bolts to ensure that everything remains secure and intact.

Re: Is it smart to part with my Polestar 2?

Did the prang cause the air conditioner to break down, or was it there before? Has a quote been provided for the job? I thought that was part of an insurance agent's job if the prang was the cause. I am quite pleased with my Polestar 2. As a first option, I would look into ways to keep it with minim...

Re: The 300e w124 has an issue with petrol fumes.

I have 28 years of whooshing with my 300-24s. Very typical. Regrettably, I am unable to recall if it is vacuum or pressure. Plus, I let it go this morning, so there's no use in trying again. Tomorrow, I will do my best to remember. I apologise. The fuel system and injection are also new features, by...

Re: At just over 5,000 miles, the "Service Engine Soon" message and wrench icon were visible.

When it was brought in a few months ago, they apparently failed to reset the oil change interval reminder, presuming they changed the oil at that time. Updating software will NOT cause that symbol to appear.

Re: Restoring an E350e ICE

No hybrids for them. They were the ones that took care of my prior w212, so I know them well.

Re: Restoring an E350e ICE

Over time, coolant seeped into the engine, causing it to misfire. I figured the plug was to blame, but even before the misfiring started, the engine was running smoothly, but now it's not. I think there's a spot that needs gasket replacement and maybe other parts that require cleaning or replacement...

Restoring an E350e ICE

I need someone to fix the engine on my 2017 E350e; does anybody know a reliable independent mechanic? Most ideal if located in Essex.
