    NOx - Understanding How Many Of Us

    Nov 20 – countdown AdBlue issue. Endured a 3 week wait for local dealership to carry out diagnostics and had to pay for it upfront. NOx number 2 sensor identified. Fortunately, they replaced both at no cost HOWEVER suffered at the very least a 15% fuel reduction ever since as they updated the...

    What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

    Something that I never ever usually do - let the fuel light come in the E Class (W212) to ascertain how much fuel to refill which equated to approx 75l of the Devils juice £111 at Costco As an aside, once owned a Volvo D5 V70 6-speed manual that I ran on fumes to 1040 miles on a brim-to-brim.

    Anyone watch Mr Bates vs The Post Office ?

    The IT crowd have some great acronyms. My personal favourite is a "PICNIC error". Problem In Chair Not In Computer. "Old but gold".

    What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

    That is a very "handsome" car. There is something about the W164 which just clicks for some owners - guess the V8/M156 cements that love.

    FAKE AMG Badges on Non-AMG Cars

    Guilty, guilty, guilty. Because have a D8 fitted, thought it OK to fit Brabus wheel centres into the "AMG" wheels. :dk:

    FAKE AMG Badges on Non-AMG Cars

    Owned "AMG line" cars for decades but say that I drive a "Mercedes Benz" when asked. The AMG Line is simply a trim level and any petrolhead knows this. Ironicaly, one of the preowned cars that I purchased came debadged except for an AMG bootlid badge and hear people call it an...

    Diamond Alloys - not the best job

    This is the thing with wheel refurbishment - only time will tell, if a good job. Many places pay less attention to the barrels.

    "may I have as close to chrome finish, as possible. please" - this was the request. Will see what I end up with at the weekend when collect. If they look as good in the flesh as in the photo - will be pleased (£380 "all in" with MO road legal tyres, TPMS, balanced and powder coat plus usual...

    A Motorcycle For A 60 Year Old

    Also think a "H2". A motorcycle that I fear is far too much for both my abilities and licence (and I ride a S1000RR/Gen 3). Great choice - enjoy.

    Official Mercedes Rear Subframe Extended Warranty (Multiple Models)

    Stockport - they really are abysmal. So disappointing considering could have become the centre of all things Mercedes in the north given great site location and space but their customer service service both phone and branch, sets new levels of incompetency. Ironically, Warrington do seem to be...

    Mb Manchester closed

    It is an "experience" centre. Great location adjacent to J1/M60 aka The Pyramid. Plenty of parking. Cars, Light Commercials and AMG deprtment. Lovely place that is spacious, clean and modern. Poor service levels especially switchboard. Meet and greet staff with no idea who then pass you over to...

    The Wacky World of Car Insurance

    Have always been lucky – up until now. One of the cars is due for renewal next month, price has come through...... £382 last year £786 coming year Unsure how it more than doubles without any claims/points/etc. when all other items are the same (I am a year older, as is the car ........assume...

    Is it worth fixing your own car?

    Remain in awe of some of the folk on here who strip back newish cars to undertake enhancements themselves. As someone who would like to demonstrate to my children that getting your hands dirty is fine. has an issue with paying the equivalent of £1000+/day for a technician (local MB is...

    W214 2024 E-Class - Official Press Shots

    Like this. Has the family DNA, there is something S class and EQ class about it The interior is very much to my taste inc dashboard. Rear light profile is nice – but start illumination? Unsure why the rear valance is not colour coded. Do not get me started on the dual finish tow hook cover. In...

    Does anyone else here ride Motorbikes? If so.......What?

    Fair weather rider. Older. so should be wiser. 🤔 Nonetheless, KTM RC8 BMW S100RR Latter, is just fantastic and easy. Former, so much more involving - have to respect it more (without all the electronic aids of the BMW).
