thanks for that, if none of my bush tools work will just remove the hub and use a press, strange that the new bush does look like the centre shaft is not parallel with the outer sleeve though, maybe it sorts itself out once fitted

I have the same creak on the drivers side which I have traced it to the lower outer bush on the bottom suspension arm where it connects to the bottom of the rear hub. I bought a new bush but see that it seems to be eccentric, as in the shaft for the bolt is not parallel with the outer sleeve...

Did you accelerate when he tried? Thats contrary to the highway code if you did Oh racing on the highway, you can get disqualified for that And why shouldn't he? He has every right to Oh you let him use the road! Do you own it? Get a life, what does it matter!

Actually it is more the reverse. The optimum speed for maximum traffic flow (vehicles per hour) is actually quite low, certainly well below 70mph. It is a fairly complex calculation but essentially as speeds increase,distances between vehicles increase so capacity drops. The other side of the...

You complain to the Chief Constable, your MP your local CPS and local newspaper. A probationary cop should be able to narrow down the car from the details you have in 5 minutes in front of the Police National Computer, you have a large part of the number, the make, model and colour, and...

Very lucky indeed, but in hindsight was placing his patrol car across the road in front of a speeding car thief a particularily good idea? Look after number one, was always the first priority.

I previously had always left mine on all the time (W203) but in the last few months and few thousand miles, have turned it off in the cooler weather and have noticed the overall mpg has risen by just over 1mpg, and as I had not reset it when changing technique I can only asume the oveall...

If you have a suitable space, put in a wood burning stove, carbon neutral, good heat source and logs are easily sourced(or go dual fuel , coal/wood)

And it was FIVE months ago................

I have heard the story that, anyone still on deck when they fired would not survive the shock wave.Having seen the pic I can believe it.

Not quite correct. As the public have unrestricted access then the RTA applies as do other acts, but as the car park is not ''maintained at tax payers expense'', being private land, then no vehicle excise licence is needed in the car park. Of course how you drive there and leave again without...

If it was that hard to remove, I would have been checking the threads carefully for damage, possible bend in the track rod or distortion in the female end. It might just be that they are a poor design and corrode and seize badly. Did you think of fitting e new track rod end whilst it was off...

Not one of their numbers but similar age. I know it had the MB techs mystified, and they never resolved it. The force bought some C203 320's afterwards, probably got a good deal as compensation. The 202's were apparantly very reliable though

When a certain Scottish police force started using W202's they began with a C280 which was rock solid, they then got a couple of C230 kompressors as they were allegedly more economical, however both were seriously unstable at Motorway speeds and above, exhibiting uncommanded lane changes etc, MB...

Probably been said before,but preperation,sub base and compaction are the most important things to ask about, the final topping is just the decorative finish.

Blimey, in the time it took me to edit my incorrect post and suggest the Cosmo, I was beaten by several others, oh well let the best man win and continue........................

Nsu ro 80? Cancel that, just seen it is not a German car, maybe a mazda Cosmo?

Long ago when I were a lad, your average 16yr old could change a head gasket on a mini or an escort in inder 2 hours (the good old pushrod engines), with a handful of spanners and a new gasket. Other gaskets couild be made from gasket paper or in extremis cereal packets. No other parts required...

And a letter to the relevant Chief Constable regarding driving standards of his Officers. It was always the rule that a Traffic Officers driving should be beyond reproach, but unfortunately standards get lowered to allow quotas to be filled!

Probably find that the badges were removed to apply the 'jam sandwich' reflective sticky plastics and were not reattached. When it goes to auction, the plastic logos get peeled off and the badges usually reapplied.
