    Engine run without oil !

    I did speak to them but they assured me no damage had been cause (as they would) I have to take some of the blame as I continued to drive after the warning message! Im not happy though that I had to pay for the fresh oil though. Biggest lesson though....I should have changed the oil myself...

    supagard products

    When I bought a focus from Motor Nation in Cannock, they tried to flog me 'Supaguard' for a hundred quid. Obviously I said no, but I have to say, the demonstration they do is quite convincing...liquid just rolled off the seat cloth sample they showed me and the paint protector is allegedly just...

    Fatal accident on M4, 2am Saturday

    So sad to hear this news, another biker lost to our small community. My friend, Chris Bradshaw (Woody) was one of two riders killed on the isle of man two weeks ago, we buried him on Tuesday 21st Sept. A very sad month indeed. My thoughts are with both families.

    I have the sport pack on my C220Cdi, it had Michelin pilots on when I bought it, I cant comment on tyre life as ive not worn a set out but the kumho's (all four) I had fitted are definitely a lot quieter. Ive been a bit adventurous with cornering in the dry and theyve never let go. I drove home...

    The best way to warm an engine?

    A word of warning to all......if you must warm your car up before driving, make sure your sitting in it. Three owners in the west midlands today left their car warming up only to find it gone when they came out of their houses. You might not see anyone hanging about! You definitley wont see a...

    Thinking of Drinking and Driving?

    Thats a bit unfair, just because its not an offence in law, doesnt meant it doesnt happen. I can assure you tiredness is the cause of a lot more accidents than you might think, the minor ones are normaly put down to a 'momentary lapse of concentration'. Unfortunately there are a large number...
