Re: Problem starting an SLK230

Hi, Your comment is very appreciated; thank you. It cheerfully spins the engine for 30–40 seconds, therefore the battery is OK. Regarding the several suggestions, including breakdown cover, I will follow your lead. I hope for the best... Oh, and one silly question: can I use diesel or unleaded petro...

Problem starting an SLK230

Hi, The fact that my father-in-law has an SLK230 presents us with a little challenge. His move into a nursing home or hospice has forced us to clean out his home. His vehicle sits on the driveway. We have tried charging the battery, replacing the batteries in the key fobs, making sure the central lo...

Re: The framework

My C-207 was totalled because the subframe gave up. Just wanted to confirm whether yours is a genuine model.Additionally, an expert examined my vehicle and gave it the green light.His statement that these subframe parts are internally corroded is worth noting. I had the complete Mercedes service rec...

Re: Frequently foolish and harmful FSD (Australia)

Your thoughts on the present state of FSD are spot on. God, I'm glad I only bought enough for a month. Two times, FSD caused the vehicle to cross double solid lines into oncoming traffic by putting it on the incorrect side of the road. Just thinking about all the mistakes and setbacks in other areas...

Re: Will the 2019 330e MSport shocks not include any aftermarket components?

Not your run-of-the-mill "poor man's" dampers, but these ridiculous electronic ones."Oh my!" Great while the vehicle is still under warranty, but a poor choice for the unfortunate owner a few years down the road. It seems like a costly excursion to BMW thieves is in order. For a ...

When it comes to suspension parts, I recommend Autodoc. I was able to get reasonably priced parts for my BMW E92 and my Audi A5. The delivery time can exceed a week if you're not really pressing the matter. You can buy SACHS for less than £80 per with a fast Google search. Hey, aren't they meant for...

Re: Remarkable Tyre Longevity

Larger diameter tires contribute to elevated mileage figures. I possessed a 300hp VXR Astra equipped with 20-inch alloy wheels, and the tires achieved a mileage of 60,000 miles from new. Large tires and proficient driving!
