It's just too easy to sit with a cuppa and a laptop and type on here as the world goes by. Hours and hours per week :eek:. Do I need therapy :crazy:?

My bird feeder has worked wonders this year in feeding all sorts of birds - the latest being a female Blackcap and a Garden Warbler, and looking out from my bedroom yesterday I saw a pair of Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers do over one of my Lilac trees (the cavity in the base of the tree is now...

Well, when you want to place an order for a £40k car you may think that a promise of a phone all back in 20 mins ( this was 2 days ago) wouldn't be too much. I think it's been mentioned before but I don't think I have come across a more disinterested franchise. I'm not expecting anything...

Sunday lunch over, Family all in, Sofa/feet up, Tax return more than 50% completed (how I hate doing this), TV on, Forum on laptop, Snow gently falling again (I don't care if it comes or goes, to be truthful), Aaah, time to relax..............

As the trusty 124 marches on @ 227K now I was wondering what the life of the Timing chain was & or the Tensioner. Should I be considering renewal? The Engine does have a rattle, especially cold Boyd

I got all the finance forms by email this afternoon - it seems like my car is at the dealership in Exeter, it's been a long wait and it sounds like it will soon be over and I'll have a lovely new car :bannana: I've been offered the £40 a month for 2 years servicing package - is that good...

So I rounded the corner just as the young lady (say 16) was on the crossing while the lights were on green. She was completely engrossed with her mobile phone, only looking downwards at it, as she saundered across in front of me. I blasted the horn and held it for maximum effect. She quite...

Rang my regular parts factor for an oil filter for the 210 today, and he said £11.50 + vat. :eek: I can't remember what i paid last time - certainly less than a fiver, me thinks. He sensed my shock and went on to explain that it was a long life filter (but he couldn't tell me how long its...

Just thought I'd see what kind of mileage people are getting out of their cars before its time for the scrap heap??? I know what you use the car for makes a difference, ie motorways or short journeys etc, just curious to see. I've got w211 280 CDI with 60000 miles on a 58 plate, hoping to...

Collected my S204 today, and as advised by a member on here (or maybe it was t'other side, both have been helpful!), checked the service booklet in the car. Sure enough, it says ATF and filter change at 3 years/36k miles. Took this to the service manager for MB Ashford (where I was buying the...
