I used to use the meet and greet companies, but following leaving it with I Love Meet & Greet, where they scratched it, cost £300 to repair, and denied all responsibility, I now use the official long term car parks. I quote the companies reply (N.B. the jumbled words are as in the carefully...

There seems to be two opinions regarding ILS lights, one changing the dip as per manual, the other that the GPS location will sort it out. Has anyone with ILS tried it abroad yet, as I go next month it would be useful to know which approach to take?

If you go into the Build a car bit the GLC43 comes up and can be spec'd

Glad to hear you are making progress at last. As mentioned before my ILS problem turned out to be the controller, which to me seems the most likely out of the headlamp or controller, as my lights worked fine manually, i.e. when I dipped/full beamed them.

Sorry to hear you are not getting anywhere. It was only on my third trip for the ILS that the dealer acknowledged that there was an error message, saying faulty left headlamp, yet mine was failing constantly, which must have been down to the controller as it has worked since that was replaced...

Almost everytime I drove at night the ILS would only operate for anything from 1 to 10 ten miles before I got a message saying ILS inoperative, then the light system reverted to the normal system where you have to manually dip the lights and no clever dip of just the area required. Particularly...

My car went in before Christmas, for the third attempt to solve the problem I have experienced with the ILS system. This time I was told there was an error message saying something about problem with left headlamp, which I was told could be due to either the headlamp or the controller, both...

I knew about the boot hook, but was unaware of the method to increase the boot space, that sounds very useful.

That does not sound right. Most of my manouvering has been on my drive, which has a loose surface, but I have parked in a couple of tight car parks, and I always reverse in, with no sign of any strange behaviour. Can you replicate this parking in the dealership, then you could perhaps do the...

I am in the same situation, a heron took some fish and stabbed the rest, leaving many on the ground, and the netting I put up is rotting, though it has been a success. I would find a problem with the floating covers as I get a lot of duckweed, which I regularly scoop off, and I don't think I...

The pickup seems normal to me, but I have driven automatics on and off for over 20 years and nothing but automatics for the last 13 years, so I suppose I just expect a slight hesitation. Autos are very much better now than they used to be, my worst was a 3.9 litre V8 Range Rover that took...

Tried mine this morning and I can get it to make a noise on full lock, but none of my 4x4/SUVs have been happy on tarmac on full lock, you are trying to make the inner wheels drive a much smaller circle than the outer wheels, with the tyres at a sharp angle, with grippy tyres, something has to give.
