    Even more new jokes... (No UK Politics please)

    Takes me back to 1978 when wife was in hospital for birth (natural) of our first child and nurse gave her a "haircut" with a disposable razor, which she did not enjoy at all. Fast forward 7 years to the impending birth of our second, she asked me if I would "prepare" her for admission as she did...

    Replacing one's own battery

    I used to work for an ex REME man - he said the initials stood for "Rough Engineering Made Easy!"

    Is this another "Should have gone to Specsavers" moment??:D:D

    Replacing one's own battery

    I did say that - along with quite a few words beginning with B, F and possibly a few others!

    Replacing one's own battery

    Checking the Rover after a day's work scouting a route for a planned rig move in Baluchistan (Pakistan), got a spanner across the +ve, my metal watch strap and part of the car, big spark and swearing as watch strap had welded closed and felt like it was burning through my wrist. Took one of the...

    OEM W205 coupe shallow boot tub or Bootsliners.co.uk alternative ?

    Those short sided liners are all very well but do not protect the back of the rear seat or the sides of the boot area. I bought a washable zipped liner for my S203, moved it to the S204 when I swopped. OK, the fit now is not perfect, but the front unzips over most of the back seat when I lower...

    What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

    Keep an eye on middle of Lidl, I bought one of their battery charger/conditioner toys a couple of years ago for a princely £14.99 and it's kept the SLK happy since - but then the toy spends a lot of time in her garage with the conditioner connected! I gather from the experience of others that...

    Mercedes eqa charge port door locked

    That is one reason I will never consider an EV as my wife's car - we've had the S204 C220Cdi since March 2012 and she's never even put fuel in it, the idea of her trying to fuel an EV en route to or at our daughter 120 miles away is a total non starter, she can't even operate her smart phone...

    What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

    Went and looked into the local MG dealership today to see what management thought of the MG ZS, so may soon be looking to offload the s204 - but looking online at the stupidly low valuations of the SW204 that may not happen!! Cannot believe how low the online valuations for our top spec s204 are!

    Just sharing, One of the silent majority!

    Overall plan is to reduce from main car and sunny weekend toy to one car only, which will have to cover all things, not been up close to an A class for a long time but suspect it would not be big enough for trips to family as wife never travels light!

    Just sharing, One of the silent majority!

    I'm another lover of the 204, even though the past month or so she's thrown me a couple of expensive wobblers. First I thought the "check brake wear" warning was the front pads - no, rear pads (did not know there was a warning sensor on the rears!), discs and 1 caliper, I already knew about the...

    What is everyone having for dinner tonight?

    Reprised my monkfish tail and scallops recipe last night for the first time in months, this time baked in a sauce of passata, mushroom ketchup, olive oil, star anise, a couple of cardamon pods and turmeric. Sliced a long pepper in half into the sauce, placed the 1/2 monkfish tails alongside with...

    The emoticons were meant to show I was extracting the michael, not serious! I also cannot believe how those aliens in MotoGP can get 250+ HP 2 wheeled missiles layed over at what we now see as approaching 60 degrees without, as you mention, expensive consequences for bike and body!!
