Re: The motorway F11 535XDWhen you lock your 2013 car and turn the key in the ignition, the lights will turn on.

I purchased an Ethernet cable from Amazon for approximately £20 and installed my ISTA software, which I downloaded for free, onto a suitable laptop. Modules are read correctly.

I would check the main connections and earth points for high resistance, since you have a main positive cable that is ...

You should ideally have ISTA scan the vehicle and pull up the recorded problems, test plans, and wiring diagrams.
Your description leads me to believe that you are at fault with either CAS or JBE

If I am incredibly deft with the accelerator, like a feather, then it's not too bad.

Re: AMG changes gears

Comfort isn't as terrible. The gearbox servicing should probably be taken care of soon anyhow.

AMG changes gears

Is it typical for AMG shifts to be particularly forceful while going from first to second gear?
Although my CLS with the 7G box ran smoothly, I've found that the 9G in my E43 seems like it's attempting to strangle me unless I'm quite light-footed! Is that typical for these, or is a reset necessary?

You may find the sort of plastic used to try to fuse it back together on the cap, which is indicated between these markings > < as seen below. Amazon and eBay are good places to look for the kind of plastic weld sticks you need.

Re: I was wondering if anyone has discovered a solution for the magride caps.

It may be feasible to do a plastic weld repair, but that depends on the exact location of the break.

Re: Comparison between Cinch Servicing with Kwikfit, among others

At our neighbourhood Marshall's, I brought our V class in for one of those inch services... They charged me £129 to change the oil and filter, but they didn't use MB-approved oil—they just reset the service indication and sent me an invoice.

Additionally, they provided me with an extensive and ...
