    Defrosting cars in the morning

    My C220D has a CAT and its 15 years old, so can hardly be called latest technology! The following is shamlessly plagiarized ;) For compression ignition (i.e., Diesel) engines, the most commonly used catalytic converter is the diesel oxidation catalyst. The catalyst uses excess O2 (oxygen) in...

    How fast?

    Definitely with you on high speed filtering, fraut with danger! and technically illegal. That said, that danger only comes from idiot car drivers who change lane without looking. As for being tailgated, despite driving a c220d that has acceleration measured using a calendar rather than a...

    How fast?

    How will they explain this? Officers crash car.

    MOT failure because of air freshner

    I feel like I have missed out in life, cos i'v never had a set, so i'm just being jealous, but did have a very nice stickon sunstrip many years ago, oh the shame :eek: ;) As a potential satnav buyer, i'm quite amazed that the authorities have not put their clumsy great foot down with...

    Caught doing 79mph in a 70 zone

    Hmmm, another vote for satnav, seems at the moment, despite a few foibles, it seems it is the most consistent and closest indicator as to how fast we are actually going.

    Caught doing 79mph in a 70 zone

    Theres a few m/c bobbies that have left posts elsewhere, saying that its now 10% +1 = 34, if they feel the need to enforce it ;) I think, in certain circumstances, ie around schools, roads with lots of shops during the daytime, then that allowance is quite generous. Most bobbies seem to...
