Buying goods from abroad

Please tell me the advantages and disadvantages. Looking at some "4B" imports that appear to be priced reasonably. Thank you

Re: Charger malfunction

Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your problems. British recall laws are weaker than those in the US, and JLR enjoys taking advantage of consumers. Which Evoque model are you driving?

Re: Issues with Android games

Hopefully, a Sorento owner will shed some light on this, but I'm inclined to believe it lacks Android Auto. The program will not add it when updated.

Which year is your vehicle? Android Auto and Carplay were not available on all 2016 and 2017 Kia models.

Re: 2016 XC60 D5 with 100,000 miles - comprehensive fluid maintenance?

I appreciate the information. It appears to be a rather typical and pleasant existence for a Volvo, except for the sporadic requirement to showcase the function of 'Sport Mode' for the passenger, naturally. Establishing a comprehensive fluid baseline for such varied driving conditions is a prudent d...

Re: 2016 XC60 D5 with 100,000 miles - comprehensive fluid maintenance?

Kudos to you for investigating a comprehensive fluid service after noticing the absence of that automatic gearbox change in the documentation. You enquired about alternative oils—what type of driving do you intend to engage in with it? Incorporating additional information, such as whether you will b...

Re: Issue with starting the C238 350D 4matic coupe

They brought up the topic of a ghost/immobiliser, but I don't have the answers because the automobile is brand new to me (I got it in June) and is eight years old. What I do know is that the problem has manifested itself since then, starting as an impulsive event that has now become permanent. (but ...

Re: Issue with starting the C238 350D 4matic coupe

Since someone else could be experiencing the same problem and find this information helpful, I will update the thread. I took my car in to Harrogate MB on Tuesday. They found a short on Circuit 87 (the ignition switch relay), but instead of replacing it, they decided to clear the fault and give it b...
