Re: Discomfort with charging: decreases by 1% when opening the door

The vehicle will cease charging when it reaches the 80% threshold and will report 79% as soon as it passes back over the 80% barrier, or whenever power is utilised, if 79 to 80% is recorded as 79z% and 80 to 81% as 80%. The other option is to cease charging at 81%, however it would mean charging to ...

Re: 2009 E91 orange side lights????

I was wondering whether the side light bulb had given out.

Re: Our 702 Smoke Silver spray has been recommended for

What a great idea! I appreciate it. I'll get a look at it; I purchased some from Halfords around five years ago, but there is no reference to 702 on their website.

Re: 25' of sport

You should return to the dealer and inform them of the problem; they should fix it because you have just had the car for two weeks. However, CR2032 batteries are not prohibitively costly for high-quality cells. Because it is not available on my Sportage GT-Line, I am unable to provide feedback about...

Re: 25' of sport

A low battery is often indicated by asking to place the key over the button. Another possible connection is that the car can't read the key, so when you get in, it won't start. So, where is the key?

Re: DTS Monaco Coding Assistance Required for CLS350 (W218) Facelift Bumper Retrofit (DRLs & Headlight Washers)

Although not technically necessary for all LED headlights in a MOT, headlight washers are a must if the LED system (most especially the dipped beams) generates more than 2,000 lumens. One issue you may encounter is that in order to pass the test, the washers that were originally installed by the man...
