Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 3 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.· 2 replies

Question

Hi Guys !
Recently when I was on an outstation trip the car's engine heat level went up and the radiator water started boiling. Took it to a garage and was told that there were a couple of causes.
What was found was a leak in one of the water hoses and also the radiator fan didn't seem to switch on/off at appropriate intervals to keep the engine cool. The problem with the latter was found to be with the thermostat which did not pass the required current to the radiator fan to switch on when required.
Can this be a case where the leak in the water horse might have caused the thermo to run dead in passing the current? or is it that the thermo went dead first and the horse blew up due to over heated water running through? I currently have the fan working on direct current so it's switched on all the time (which I guess is not good for the fan).
Will replacing the thermostat solve the problem ?
Just thought of getting some advice from you guys on what to look for before taking it to the garage ppl.
Thanks Guys !
Monty
