So I went to JJB sports today to buy a new set of gym trousers and some other items. I found a pair of trousers went to pay and was told it was part of a set, so I could only buy it if I found a matching shirt. Fair enough. I then found a nice pair of adidas trousers, on special offer "Old...

When taking a car for an MOT last week, I assumed it would fly through - it did pass on everything, but failed on the numberplates - no BS Markings. These are the same plates which have been on the car since it left the dealer some 9 years ago. I've used the same MOT station and the same guy...

As some of you know already I recently sold my s-class: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270166828587 The chap came over to see the car, I mentioned at the time the CATS had been removed, as they were not required for an MOT. He was not sure and wanted to take the...

Hi Well the zo6 finaly landed in chatham docks a couple of weeks ago and is being prepped for its sva test in a couple of weeks. All I can say is what a fantastic car! The UK cold air has given it a new leash of life as its far stronger than when it was out in the states. Also, the return...

OK - I purchased the V6 SatNav DVD and the TMC cars were on the wrong side so the dealer has upgrade the software. Before I took it in I turned on video in motion (VIM) via the engineering menu on Command, as this excellent forum advised I would lose the engineering menu once the dealer upgraded...

Our Peugeot Rally car runs "F2" tyres for some of our events. Question is are they road legal ? OK they don't exactly look 100% legal now do they ! They are E approved. Do have wear indicators within the tread patterns. They DO NOT say "not for road use" or anything motorsport. They are...

Hi fellow Merc owners, Need some advice. I recently took my E270 '03 into Mercedes in North london for a inspection and vallet. The car has had some paint flaking which the head paint guy took pictures of. When I returned to pick up my car I noticed a graze on the bumper that is clearly...

At the tail end of last year, I was involved in the purchase of a SL which all went badly wrong. I paid a deposit in advance of seeing the car- big mistake. Car turned out to be nowhere near as described (more miles, more defects than stated and so on) -battery flat, vendor put jump leads to...

I have agreed a price to have my bathroom retiled with granite floor and stone walls, ok so far. The walls have needed to be taken back to brickwork which I have agreed to pay extra for, but the plumber (they reccomended) hasnt done his bit correctly causing delays and other problems. One of the...

The dealer only issues Euro star GB plates for all their cars with no facility to produce plain plates, which I want for my cherished plate. (As the Euro star rectangle consumes space and the colour and offset is less aesthetic) So I go to have my own plates made up, completely plain except for...

Hello all, Was wondering if anyone could advise on the following problem. My wife was working on a temporary job as an occupational therapist through a recruitment agency (she was working as an employee of a limited company, which invoices the recruitment agency that then charges the...

Street legal?

Hello, If there are any lawyers out there I'd love to hear your view. I have a 1990 W124 estate that I use for transporting my dogs around. Recently the ignition lock broke meaning that it was almost impossible to start the car. I rang my local mercedes dealer to order a barrel and key to...

I recently got a C270 and like the way it all lights up in the dark when unlocking, and I know I can turn it all off too. However I'm surprised that the front fog lamps illuminate, especially on turning the ignition off. I can't imagine Mercedes doing anything illegal, but surely it's illegal...
