    Any landowners here?

    Yeah, I say that's good enough. What do you do for feed?

    Any landowners here?

    Yep. We've three horses on eight acres (three fields). The horses are rotated like crops! :D

    Any landowners here?

    But what does ''agricultural opportunity'' mean? To me, that implies part bog, no drainage on the remainder, poor soil condition, no hedge rows, no fencing and possibly poor access etc. It could even be a small mountain. :D God only knows. If it was good agricultural land I'd expect a guide...

    230E on 3 cylinders

    There's several potential faults that could have caused the burnt valve and one could be it was running lean on that cylinder. I'd strongly advise fitting new injectors as a matter of course, they're past their best if original and they probably are too.

    Oh no. Anyway, I don't need a snooze at 8pm.

    The job has gone to his head. He should have stuck to impressing the young lads on Twitter or wherever. :D

    Couldn't agree more. Harris is dire and overrated (bar the fact he can drive).

    W163 ML 500 | Cracked block?

    You could use something like a digital thermometer probe for cooking meat. If you do get one, first test it on another car for base figures. Then try it on your rad while looking for a major difference in temp figures at the bottom. If you don't mind me saying so if you are in any doubt I'd buy...

    W163 ML 500 | Cracked block?

    Also too, it would be worthwhile bleeding the coolant system again just in case. Raise the front of the vehicle - axle stands would do and open the heater hose, inlet first from the engine bay while the engine is running. Do that a few times. A long short but worth the effort.

    W163 ML 500 | Cracked block?

    The blocked rad suggestion is a possibility if it wasn't flushed and checked. What type of impeller is on the water pump? The plastic ones are known to fail.

    Brake issue 98 c280 estate

    I can't really help as the last time I had similar brake problems was on a '74 BMW! Here's my 2p's worth. I'd be looking at the new master cylinder as the culprit but initially I'd have the system vacuum bleed first. Also check the servo operation. Next time the brakes stick disconnect the...

    Mercedes GLC Clonking and juddering on near full steering lock

    O.k, o.k..You win and I was wrong to suggest that the crabbing issue/online videos/Honest John and his ilk/waiver/all season tyres etc, etc will have any detrimental affect on used car valves. :thumb:

    The future of Driving.

    Don't forget the power of marketing and car manufacturers are probably one of the best at it, I reckon they could teach Coca-Cola, Guinness, Carlsberg etc a thing or two. I do think that the majority of new car buyer's generally have a greater interest in electronics than actual cars and the...
