Car Valuation Well ED, i thought it was a result but, i went to my local Nissan franchise dealer yesterday to P/X my car against a 2005 XTrail at £9,000 and was offered only £2,500. I thought all salesmen used the Glasses guide? If so, why should there be a difference of £1,000, as both cars i...

Bit of good news at weekend. Been looking at exchanging my car for a Honda CR-V. 2 months ago the P/X value (with 180k mls on clock) by a Honda Franchise against a new CRV was £2,500. On Sunday, i was at a car supermarket looking at yr 56 CRV (9,900) and the guy never even drew in breath...

Car value A couple of months ago I was offered £2,500 P/Ex on mine (02, 270 CDi, A/garde, 175k mls) against a new Honda CR-V, what a shock!

If the gear lever mechanism is same as my W203, if you keep lever held over to Right when moving lever rearwards, it will automatically stop at the Reverse position. A type of baulking device is fitted on mine. Good luck.

Thanks for speedy reply. Is this done using STAR?

Hi all, can the sensitivity of the above be adjusted by STAR. Reason is, just had windscreen replaced and now lights come on when it is nearly dark (used to come on earlier) and wipers come on too early and cause screeching across dry (Ish) screen. Had windscreen replaced 8 months ago by same...

Car picked up on Fri, all is good. A really good job, even replaced windscreen (Small stone chip) without need to pay XS.

Good news - MB agreed to replace O/S front wing, repair bottom half of 3 doors and some corrosion i found on the day prior to dropping car off, was agreed 2 days after car went in, very impressed. Body shop manager told me car could go in within week as it was a quiet period, i said i need to...

I will await MB's response and keep this post updated for future reference.

Hi to all. Just thought i'd pass on my recent experience regarding title. Background: Car went in for repair mid last year. N/S front wing replaced, both rear arches resprayed. O/S front wing showing corrosion lower aft edge. MB bodyshop manager mentions the previously (N/S) wing still...

Good thought, just as well i recorded the event for future claims, if only!!!

Hi all. Just thought i'd pass on my recent experience. last week, a rattling noise began emanating from the engine bay. Took onto indie and while watching him, he hit the forward Cat with a hammer shaft and it seemed to rattle loads. So, the Cat was suspected (£650 + fiiting). Took car in...

Thanks for replies. I didn't have a specific vehicle in mind, just told the sales exec it would depend on the trade in price as to what i would be looking to buy. Yes your right, the Glasses guide ceilings at 150k mls. Seems like i will have to reconsider what year of CR-V i can afford...

Hi to all. Last weekend went to look at a replacement car (Honda 4x4) and asked sales exec to value my car. Luckily i'd washed it day before and it looked good for the piccies he took. I received email last night giving a trade-in value of £2,500, i nearly hit the floor. I realise it has...

Hi all. Car has recently developed a strange noise from the area forward of the instrument panel. After engine has warmed up, a noise sounding like a ball bearing chattering on a plastic tray when accelerating (lightly) and when lifting off, sound turns into a bird chirping sound, very...

Battery was checked a couple of weeks ago when it was suspect (engine slow to turn over), turned out to be starter motor. Strange thing, it happened again this morning, started car, noticed COMMAND did not come on automatically so, switched it on and language had reset to German. So, this is...

Not sure about setting the language, but, i am not to concerned about having to reset to English. My main concern is, why the COMMAND shut itself down during the day when key our of ignition and all auxiliaries were off.

Hi all. Started car last nigth after work and noticed the COMMAND was off. On switching on, it had reverted to Deutch settings. I never shut it off manually only auto when key removed. This same thing happened about 18 months ago, so, not too much of a problem just, strange. :confused...
