    Eggy/Sulphur smell...

    I’ve had exactly that smell with a Honda. It happened on engine start and I was convinced it must be catalyst. But Honda drained and refilled the washer reservoir and it went away. It came back after a couple of weeks, so I drained it myself and chucked in some Milton sterilisation fluid...

    MotoGP 2014

    The commentry was awful, OK they have 20 litres, get over it. They must of suggested the Yamaha would run out half a dozen times. Its like they are trying to impress us all with their knowledge. As with all things it's a fine balance between knowledge and infotainment. They should...

    How safe is a 23 year old spare tire?

    Both made of Rubber and life changing if they fail ! Ok the tyre is thicker and reinforced but would have more horsepower going through it.

    Black 2 slat grille fitted to W204

    I do agree that you could paint the grey slatted part black. Its fairly easy to dismantle, take care and do it in the warm. The only drawback is that you have to either paint it yourself (cans ?) or wait for bodyshop to do it. Good luck either way.

    Black 2 slat grille fitted to W204

    The grille was from coupe, fitting was easy but I was unable to use the centre tee piece (you cant see this). It really doesn't need it but I will see if I can get one from merc. Its slightly slimmer where it clips to the grille.
