    Leather cleaner

    Furniture Village. By far the best. I'm currently using Meguiars APC mixed 4 to 1 on a Discovery3 cream leather which has been allowed to get really crappy.

    Range Rover Vogue

    Don't bother with any oil burners. The RR was designed to have a big FO V8 up front. My 5.0 litre has 510 horses on tap and will destroy most other vehicles when asked. 22mpg not bad either.

    Trickle charger ...

    Beware with the Lidl ones that if you have a power cut, the charger reverts to OFF when power resumes. The CTEK reverts to it's previous mode I.e. ON. quite important when you are nowhere near your car to switch on manually.

    Fedex delivery or not

    All couriers are total muppets. I had one the other day that buzzed at the gate, then slid through the small gap alongside the gate with me hanging on the phone saying hello. Then he puts the parcel at the front door in the rain, and heads back to the gate. No door bell ring. When I remonstrated...

    Errant alarm

    Thanks. It's booked in with Alex next week to replace the siren. My research suggests the siren to be problematic at best.

    Errant alarm

    My R230 had an alarm fart today. It's black and had been sitting in the sun for a few hours so I'm wondering if it just got too hot inside. I switched off with the fob and opened the doors, boot and bonnet. Rearmed it and it's been silent for the last couple of hours; the sun's gone in so...

    Stamp Collection

    They printed England World Cup stamps and after we won, there was a new print with England Winners. Relatively rare and my father bought me a full sheet of them. They are in my stamp book, if only I could find it. Moving later this year so may find it then.

    Car's value For Main Dealer Service History Vs Independent Specialist

    I would be more likely to buy a car with an indy history. At least then you know that servicing has been done properly by a mechanic that knows what they're doing, not an apprentice who's never had to fix a problem, just replace a part. As for the value, I just traded in a Smart for 2...

    Check the dealers website to find if they're doing anything. Mine was dealer specific.

    How much will the Mercedes Benz free inspection cost me ?

    No cost at all. In fact, the last time my SL was done , I got a free video of the underside and a Mercedes logo blanket so that I can sit by the beach, with SWMBO, keep our legs warm and look old. That was after a winter check.

    Anybody, admired your motor?

    Of course it is. Predictive text making sensible posts mean nothing.

    Anybody, admired your motor?

    My SL gets no reaction from anybody. However, the recently purchased Barth 595 in bright yellow gets loads of positive comments. Even Tesco click and collect staff love it. When we turned up in the Range Rover last week, they were all asking where the little yellow one was. The car that preceded...
