    Do Public Car Parks put you off taking your "pride & joy"?

    I have appeared on this or a similar Facebook group too, for parking in two spaces, but only ever on car parks with plenty of spaces and only away from the high footfall areas. ⚠️ Long post alert ⚠️ I suspect that I may have featured on such Facebook groups on at least one other occasion and...

    Do Public Car Parks put you off taking your "pride & joy"?

    I’m not put off, I just find the right parking space in the right car park. If I know that’s going to be difficult - or I have no idea where I will end up parking - then I take a car which I can be less picky with where I park. I say less picky because I will always hunt out the right parking...

    Pull is wrong, drift (with the canber) is right.

    Towing with a 300TE 4Matic

    AMG models on the G, ML, R, GLE, GLS platforms are type approved for towing even though tow bar manufacturers and fitters universally Donny believe it.

    The EV fact thread

    We bought it back in 2019 for my daughter to learn to drive a manual and kept it for my son to learn to drive a manual too. In practice, after passing their test they will probably drive EVs initially and modern relatively powerful cars later, so they’ll not really need a manual licence...

    The EV fact thread

    😁😁😁 When the Fiat 500e was insured in my name it cost less than the Smart ForFour (with the same NCB, the same drivers and the same insurer) which in itself is odd as the Smart is a group 2 and the Fiat is much higher, group 16 springs to mind. Perhaps that’s because the Fiat is fast for a...

    The EV fact thread

    It is expensive, but that’s the going rate around here, and I have no idea why. Even the darkest corners of North Devon are around 10p less than expensive per litre than here. I try to fill up where it’s less expensive, ie not here, but that’s not always possible. Like I said in the post last...

    Battery Conditioner That Resets After Power Cut - Maypole or CTEK?

    CTEK aren’t cheap, and they do fail (especially if used outside for expended periods), but they are as simple as it gets, and perform very well. Not cheap but fair value. No doubt some models from alternative brands will do what he’s looking for for less though. Out of interest, which make and...

    subframe failure

    Perhaps not the ideal thread and timing to get the best price Chris! 😁

    The EV fact thread

    We recently switched to Eon NextDrive, an energy tariff which offers overnight electricity at 6.7p kWh between 0000 and 0700, so 7 hours/day, and reasonable peak time rates for gas and electricity. I have just set the charging schedule for our Fiat 500e EV to charge between these times, which...

    SLK rear subframe

    How long have you owned the car? Corrosion so severe is years in the making, so unlikely to be affected positive or negatively by few dry miles in the past 12 months. Have you received a quote to replace it?

    subframe failure

    That suggests there’s been a change as MB service history - or any service history at all - wasn’t a requirement previously. I’d say it’s worth trying another dealer, just in case.

    Covered in dust, sand and pollen but you can’t tell from a photo. This one just keeps getting better looking.
