  • Worries for the First Car Purchase

    Dear Forum, On tomorrow I will perhaps look at my first car. It is to become a used mini. At least as a car rental I have driven Mini often and always been enthusiastic about the driving feeling. Since I have little idea of cars, however, the fear is to make a big mistake. Therefore I wanted to check here for opinions. The desired Mini Cooper is the model F55, so a five doorr. He already close to 100.00lm on the clock in three years!!. First registration was 01.2016. 13k € should cost me the whole. Is that reasonable or too expensive? Are 100000 km just too much to have fun with the car for a long time? The car will certainly not eat as much as from its previous owner. A private person. In the circle of friends and acquaintances keeps the opinion that I will be with the car constantly in the workshop and that the insurance costs me much because of the model. I know about the problems the Minis in the past but have the hope that these are passé with this newer model. We see you, I have quite considerable worries and, hope you can help me get rid of some at short notice. Thank you and best regards.

  • Help to make a purchase decision Mini or Golf

    Hello to each other, the anticipation is growing: a new car is due. The uncertainty is drilling: which one? For 25 years I have been driving golf, now the opportunity to change. I’m attracted by the new, sporty, iconic mini. But the reliability and size of the golf are not to be despised. For comparison there are: Mini one (5-door) vs Golf 7 (5-door) both around 100 HP used young around the 16 T€ What speaks for and against the one or the other? Is the mini just as reliable and inexpensive i maintenance and maintenance? I also like to travel to the North Cape or Sicily. Is the mini just as much a travel car as the golf? I also like to take people on the back seat. Can I do this with the mini as comfortable as in the golf? I live in the mountains, in the winter there is sometimes plenty of snow here. Is the mini good in snow and ice? Questions about questions. I am curious about your experiences and opinions and advice. Thanks already in advance. pamesch

  • Possibility to deactivate lamp testing at 407SW due to permanent false reports?

    Hello together, as I have seen in a few articles, there seems to be a fundamental problem with the lamp test. With me come with main display permanently messages when flashing “brake leucts defective” and with every braking process!!!! / “blink lamp defective”. It is annoying huge. A few times the trigger was a lamp of the license plate light which then led to the temporary healing of the error message for a few weeks. hten has already contributed to temporary healing. But I don’t want to replace whole incandescent lamps every 3 weeks. In the forum I have read from various attempts to clean all contacts and to install new mass cables,… Honestly, I don’t really want to lay new mass connections. Does anyone know if you can’t just disable the function of the lamp test? And if so how? Because actually this function is quite useless. If a flasher or fader ch is broken, I actually get it so promptly with.. Best regards MYK975

  • Again steering wheel flapping while braking.

    Hey guys. ALso now to my problem. My 406er has already eaten 3 sets of brake discs this year + 2 sets of pads. So the first were brake discs from the previous owner on it & found it about 4 months after the purchase that it flutters while braking. Okay, brake discs + pads in front. No great quality. i.what accessories from Peugeot dealer After about 2000km the whole shit started again, & It squeak at the same time as if something had a “eight”. Chlechter quality. According to statement by Peugeot, my wheel bearing v.l had a game. Okay, the wheel bearing & hub front left replaced. Then new brake discs built by FEBI + Org. brake pads Peugeot, of course support surfaces wonderfully clean made. All 4 tires completely redesigned. At the same time almost complete ha renewed. Both carrier plates, brake disc + pads, brake calipers, hand brake + Bowden trains etc etc…. And now it starts again, about 4000km later & 2 months… Al so nothing else can be like that again or?, because if Radnabe or something else had a defective, the fluttering would be already available from the new BRemsen up to now or do I see something wrong? Data about the car: Peugeot 406 year 1998 3003/770 2.0L petroler. Brake system Lucas. Steel rims (fehtl eventl ventilation?) 155000km I need help. The brake eats me & my portemoney!!! Greeting

  • Dethleff’s quality?

    Day together, I’m currently interested in a Dethleffs Exclusive. Unfortunately, I’m very afraid of the negative reviews. Some review portals complain about a false built-in heating, bad processing and a terrible support. Has anyone of you already had an experience? I would be very grateful for an answer. LG Julian

    Hello all, I didn’t find out here in the forum, therefore the question. I would like to upgrade/allow my WoWa from 80 KmH to 100KmH. I know about the tires, that these should not be older than 6 years. The towing vehicle should also be with the weight of the WoWa, also no problem But what I have heard, as with the shock absorbers? can one light me up? Thank you!

  • Interest rate conditions with Mercedes Bank Plus3 financing

    4 years ago I got myself a Mercedes with Plus3 financing, i.e. a residual value financing with repurchase guarantee (over the residual value) – thus almost like leasing. If you convert to LF I come to 0.77 vehicle BLP 69000, 48 months, special payment 8000, monthly rate 368. Since it is a financing, the bank gives an interest rate of 0.96% effective annual interest. Now the contract runs out slowly and I wanted to buy a new vehicle at the same dealer hoping to buy the same So I asked for another vehicle, BLP, same deposit, same term, etc. Only now the monthly rate would be clearly over 500 euros. The dealer doesn’t know why, he can’t do anything. That’s all the bank has to say. It’s all because the bank now wants 2.99% or, depending on the model, 3.99% interest rates. I have looked at it and actually this rate seems to be normal. I happen to have a special offer from the bank at that time. the Mercedes bank caught without noticing it? I don’t see now to pay for an equivalent vehicle at once 10000 € more. He then offered me a vehicle with a BLP of 59k – then almost come back to the same monthly rate. I’m talking less about the monthly rate than about the total price I pay over the duration of 4 years. With my current car it was quite exactly 25k, with the new offer it was depending on model 33-35k. And I can see that somehow I don’t think so.
