Re: Automatic Time Adjustment Malfunction

An option labelled "Automatically change time settings based on your location" was selected. Disabling the daylight savings feature resolved the issue, and I will inevitably need to manually readjust it in March. It is hardly significant, but the first car I have had in at least 20 years t...

Automatic Time Adjustment Malfunction

The clocks in the UK were adjusted last weekend, although my 2024 Sportage has not updated the time. The automatic time adjustment option is enabled in the system settings under time and date, and I am unable to locate any method to manually alter the clock. Any guidance would be valued.

I successfully retrieved my son from his abandoned Audi in the snow several years ago.

Re: RHD C55 manual gearbox conversion

Should you locate one, the W203 C240 will provide all the necessary components, while the W210 E240 serves as the next optimal donor. An alternative is a Chrysler Crossfire, which may provide several components. The conventional gear-lever system is subpar, so there is no need to seek it; a superior...

Re: Satellite Navigation - Cursor - Direction

The Tom Tom also salvaged our marriage during an event in Kent when my wife said, "You know that turn we just passed... a 9-mile diversion!" I am accustomed to the cursor indicating North, as it is presented on TomTom devices and Ford vehicles.

Re: Satellite Navigation - Cursor - Direction

I will attempt it on Friday; my car is scheduled for servicing and a MOT tomorrow. I will inform you if it is effective for me. Thank you for your response.

Satellite Navigation - Cursor - Direction

The cursor representing the vehicle on the Sat Nav screen solely indicates the true compass orientation of the car. My previous Tom Tom and the last three vehicles, equipped with integrated Sat Nav, consistently displayed the pointer arrow orientated north. I found this orientation simpler to naviga...

Re: Inquiry Regarding S211 Self-Leveling

I surmise they can extract air from a single bag to equilibrate the pressure. Subsequently, designate it as the accurate pressure. That is my conjecture, however...

Re: Inquiry Regarding S211 Self-Leveling

Indeed, it was noted during the MOT today. It was neither a failure nor just advisory. It was only referenced. Upon inspection, I saw the situation was indeed significant. I was completely unaware. However, a competent MB expert in my vicinity has shown their ability to calibrate. I presume they rel...
