Re: Noisy, energetic beginning

Would that lead to problems with cold starts? It works well after the first start and continues to do so day after day.

Noisy, energetic beginning

Hello, my vehicle is a 64-plate cla with 54,000 km and 220 d
Bad recon injectors, white smoke, wet tailpipes, difficulty starting, and chilly are just a few of the issues I've had recently with injectors.

It sets the tone for a nice day.

Re: S203 / W203 Replacement of windscreen

Not that it is all that important. Either way, it will be magical.

Transportation is the only thing I need to figure out; I'm not sure whether it will fit in my wife's Fiat 500.

Re: S203 / W203 Replacement of windscreen

Please accept my deepest gratitude for your generous offer. I think the tint isn't that important, and I hear that the rain sensor apertures are swappable, but I'll check it out later nevertheless.

My family lives in Brighton, so we could visit on a Saturday that works for you, spend the night, and ...

S203 / W203 Replacement of windscreen

Greetings to everyone here,

Here I am with a 2004 C180 Estate that is as beat as it gets. It is a real workhorse, and I adore it.


My three-meter-long Douglas fir slid into the windscreen last year, shattering the passenger side and proving once again how foolish I am.
Even though my insurance was ...

Just write the IMO target ID with the SDD; they aren't unusual in any way.

Re: A network cable that is not conventional

That's what's known as an Ethernet cable. Not much stands out about it. If the dongle is rear-mounted and has an ethernet port, it can accept any standard ethernet cable.

Re: The fifth-generation Sportage has an unusual satellite navigation behaviour.

Thanks for getting back to me; now I know it's a feature and won't require any further attention.

Re: The fifth-generation Sportage has an unusual satellite navigation behaviour.

I appreciate you getting back to me; if this is the case, I can see the value in having the option to maximise charging. It does seem unusual, though, that the regeneration feature is manual under regular driving conditions but automated under navigation. Regardless, I'm relieved that I won't have ...
