Around here we have many rural thoroughfare B roads designed by the Romans, they tend to be erm, straight. We also have our share of single-lane winding lanes with passing places and other holes in the hedgerow designed by cattle (lane = cow-path). They are not the same are they. Nanny has...

But why is that pulley not running against the belt? Surely it is not supposed to spin freely?

Full service mystery? Tracker?

Which would happen when blatting the M4 with flat tyres.

You just press the "H" one to change the hour and the "M" one to change the minutes. Download manual (USA model) 2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Operators Manual E320 E430 E55AMG | PDF Service Manual - Free Download or this one, also Merikan...

Three buttons each side of cluster on 210 The ones one RHS obscured by graphic legend Buttons for mystery triangle etc are on centre console.

Not getting picky but in post#5 I said, "It is the rear cable that has broken". My investigations at hanging upsidedown like a bat in the footwell indicated that access to the cables is not through the console at all.

Er, that would be a negatory.

I've been known to use copper fungicide (algae is related) But the toothbrush or similar is a must, they make excellent "detailing" brushes and they are very cheap. Do try using one with some warm water and car wash or soap. (I have not seen one of those Megs Triple Brushes for a while, orders...

What vacuum road brush? (rofl) They've just completely resurfaced a road near here before fixing the drainage problem that is now sending a bourne across the road on the Z-bend and down the hill to the stream, it is supposed to be in its culvert. It's an old lane that follows a stream bed...

Forgive me but you may need to re-write that. You have "moss" growing from inside a rubber seal to some glass on the car? It is more likely to be algae than actual moss, although I have seen real moss growing on cars. Do try a toothbrush and a bucket of suds (car wash detergent and warm water).

Hmm... I've always been fond of Michelin before switching to Falken solely due to cost, but I shall be considering the Goodyear Eagle F1 in future. There is a number on the tyres that none of them brag about, the tread wear number, the bigger it is the longer they last, allegedly. Do enquire...

It does say they are "Unusual Tyre Stockists". They are certainly that.

Does your car not also have little buttons on the dash console? Three on the left and three on the right? The rhs is used for changing the clock.

One "easy" method they use is to break in to the house and take the keys. Then the gamins push it silently off the drive and then drive it onto a transporter asap.
