Sounds like what I've got on the Volvo. It'll ping pong between the lines of the lane for a bit before it gets angry and makes lots of noise. I had to take mine to a dealer to adjust the aim on my headlights though as there is no manual adjustment. Sounds similar. Mine stays pretty true to the middle though. Even above 40 with no assistance....

I don't have to even steer mine. It'll do that itself too! is that the system that only works below a certain speed? I know some of the MERC trucks have it fitted Kinda. Completely autonomous below 40. After that it assists but does most of it. No input from the driver for a short period message on dash. Then it turns off with a pong

My Merc has auto hold too. But I have the distronic option. When it sits in traffic, It doesn't hold the brake lights on. It's holding the brake "on it's own" and will move off on it's own too. Only slowing down does it put them on. Infact, I think it puts them on if it's the last car in the queue. Until another joins. I'll test this If you get too much grief about the DRL LED's, their power supply will be a simple wire in, wire out set up. Just splice it and run a fairly big resistor in parallel. That will dim them down a smidge The whole car is LED. There isn't a traditional bulb in it! The headlights on full beam are sooooo bright!

My new Merc has their LED lights fitted. Whilst for me they're brilliant. For others they appear to be too bright. Can't do a lot about them, The car came with them and I can't even angle them down as they're automagic. Though I do think newer car windows are slightly more tinted. Other lights don't seem to affect me as much in this car than before.

You'll tell straight away, It will be milky. It sounds almost as if there are a couple of issues... I am wondering if there is a cooling issue, Air lock possibly... or, poooooooosssibly water pump. Which is why it's overheating. And then some sort of potential electrical issue.
-
Now it's cooled. Whats the state of play with it? Does it run?

GPRS on bikes YAY OR NAY
Igloo replied to Classickid21's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Teeeeeeechnically..... GPS and GPRS... It uses a combination of the GPS data from the satellites and also the GPRS cell towers to work out location. Means that signal blockers are harder to use. -
If it's the head gasket, Is the sight glass milky in any way? Residue on the top of the oil fill port? Residue on the water tank? Is the coolant colour OK?

I'm "new" (Presuming you came from the GBB but I don't recognise the username!) I only started posting the other day. The fact i've had an account since 2011 is just a hoax!

GPRS is General Packet Radio Service. GPS is Global Positioning Service. GPRS allows data packets to be transmitted over the cellular network. It's what edge, 3G, 4G are pinned by. -

GPS tracking solutions for vehicles (or well anything really). Allows the location to be uploaded so it can be tracked in the case of theft etc. -
Suck up. CAH is online here too http://pyx-2.pretendyoure.xyz/zy/game.jsp

Love this game! There is an online version kicking around somewhere... It's great!

Could be also faulty starter. Or alternator. When your turning the engine the starter kicks into life. Test with a new battery. No way of testing alternator (stator on bikes?) without it running.

Corr a lot more skilled than me! Im just starting out. career change Learning the basics of server management and support. Currnetly assisting in setting up a new sage interface to speed up our buisness and data recording. Super fun stuff haha! LOL, worked with Sage in my early days, i was more infrastructure then, strange thing is im more a jack of all trades rather than a master of one, ive been in IT for about 15 years profesionally but was a talented hobyist for some time before that in the days of LAN parties. if you ever want to discuss anything IT related etc... give me a shout, if I can help out I will. Also best advice i can give is that google is your friend, especially once you learn how to use it. I'm in IT too. I'm a solution architect specialising in the networking and data centre / cloud spaces. Cisco, VMware, azure certified too. You mention LAN parties. Multiplay UK ring any bells with you?

I'm resisting the urge to completely do the christmas decorations before my parents are home. My dad isn't a fan, So think it would be quite entertaining
