Re: Decreasing radio reception

radio station (FM or DAB) and country of origin? Spotty DAB is common in more remote places. It happens frequently on DAB-only stations, but not on those with FM fallback; on the former, it simply disappears. Seek out any dampness near the foot region if this is an emerging symptom. Although the ant...

Re: I would greatly appreciate any advice you may have.

Thank you, but I still haven't heard back from them, and I'm afraid to call because I know they'll conduct the tests regardless of my warning.

I would greatly appreciate any advice you may have.

So, I own a 59-plate Mini Cooper S. It recently got a new gasket valve cover, spark plugs and a blow off valve. However, when I took it out of the garage, it was the same as when I had brought it in: no acceleration, no engine lights and a boost in power. The mechanics checked to see if all the hose...

Re: sleep with a 12v battery

I unplugged mine after purchasing one; the 45Ah 12v Auxiliary battery it came with showed worrying voltage drops in just one day.

Re: Completely devoid of electrical power S206

I appreciate it. I have inspected my vehicle and it seems that feature is not present.

Completely devoid of electrical power S206

I have been on vacation for two weeks, leaving my 2023 S206 2.0 L petrol mild hybrid secured in my enclosed yard. Approximately a week later, I received a notification on my phone through the 'My Mercedes' application, indicating ''battery condition critical''. There was little I could do from Switz...

Re: Airbag Indicator 2001 Camry XLE

I perused the subsequent post and erroneously assumed it originated from the original poster. I now realise it originated from you. I apologise for my mistake.

Re: Airbag Indicator 2001 Camry XLE

It seems that the original poster is familiar with the connector and is already manipulating it, and I suspect they are attempting to maintain the system's functionality rather than disable it.
