Hi,just had my rear tyres changed.Fronts are being done next month. On the way back from the garage the front wheels seemed to wander a bit. Checked them when i got home and there is movement from the front wheels. I can move them backwards and forwards by hand. This is probably why the front tyres are worn on the edges and when i brake hard it knocks a bit. Is this the bottom track control arms? Do i need the whole thing or can i just change the bushes? Idealy i would like to do next weekend as im off work on saturday. Also,where is the cheapest place to get them? Ive looked on ebay and they range in price quite a bit. Thanks,jamie.

      2e47 & 2e41

      Hi Joe If memory serves 2e41 is bad communication between the EWS and DDE the other 2e47 is Thermostat or Sensor related. Looks like that sorts your weekend Dave

      2e47 & 2e41

      Sorry of mentioned before, started car this morning and was fluctuating a little on idle. Completely fine after a few mins. Though I'd scan the car anyway and found errors 2e47 and 2e41 stored. They are intermittent and once cleared, don't come back for a while but I thought I'd check in case it was something to worry about? E87 118d N47 Cheers, Joe

      Use of an Airtag or Similar on the Key FOB ?

      Thanks for the update Rory hopefully your experience will be good. I spoke again with the Merc/Porsche specialist I know apparently the tags he has seen are both Apple and in use by Porsche owners Dave

      Use of an Airtag or Similar on the Key FOB ?

      I was an airline mechanic up until I retired 2 years ago. There isn't any carrier Under US FAA or EASA regulations that restricts the use of any airtag or similar device. Lufthansa was rumored to have tried, using the interference claim but quickly denied it when it's customers heard about it. Our shop actually put tags on specialized tools so the Tool Room could track them and since new generation tags can have a range of 90' to as much as 450' it help prevent tools from leaving the hanger or being left on the aircraft. The Avionics guys I worked with all seem to agree that for my purposes there shouldn't be any issues and just say to monitor the batteries in the key and tag. They will get you close enough to what ever they're attached to that if you can't se what your looking for you can tap your smartphone and the'll put out a tone like a ring. The ones made by TILE can be used in reverse if you have your FOB but can't find your phone, tap on them and the signal will have your phone ring. I ordered one Apple Airtag and One Tile Pro. I carry a battery for my FOB in my wallet so should they drain the battery I can just toss a new battery in and remove the tag if I decide it's an issue. It'll take awhile to decide but I'm gonna give em a try. !
