    CLS (219) Bluetooth adapter

    It is a Mercedes OEM Bluetooth adapter, similar to the Viseeo aftermarket models. They sit in the telephone cradle designed for Nokia type phones and enable hands-free bluetooth connectivity via the Headunit with a smartphone. No SIM Card capability. It connects your phone to the car.

    Road Tax ?

    Yep, that is what I could not get my head around at first. They get the Tax twice. I too thought the first year showroom tax would cover the car for 12 months regardless, but I had to tax my 3 month old pre-reg BMW when I picked it up. The info in my post was explained to me when I questioned...

    Road Tax ?

    The first year VED is normally charged in the 'on the road price' by the dealer and lasts 12 months. The first year VED on my BMW 3 series was about £800 due to emissions. If the car is then traded in before it expires the VED is cancelled the vehicle would be un-taxed, in the trade, ( If it is...

    For Any Knowlegable of Win10

    I had this issue on two of my Windows 10 PCs. It was down to Windows creating recovery partitions which block off a large chunk of the hard drive. Check out this youtube vid..... I was a bit nervous about doing it myself, but I followed the process exactly and got back my hidden 9GB.

    Michelin Crossclimate On E270cdi

    I have a Suzuki Grand Vitara which I use for work. I put Cross Climate SUV on in 225\65 R17 just a month ago. Previously I had Goodyear Vector 4 seasons gen2. The all season felt compromised, not as good as a summer tyre in the warmer weather and no where near a winter tyre in the cold. I have...

    If you were buying a 2 yr old E Class would you always go MB Approved and if so why?

    I was about trade in my 19 plate 3 series for a new shape CLS 400d at an independent last Xmas. One owner (ex Mercedes Benz) with 9500 mile on the clock. As it was an expensive purchase I decided to sleep on the deal, and overnight decided to take a look at the car in greater detail. It was due...

    A45S over M340i?

    My thought is that both are awesome cars. However the A45s is a super hot hatch, and the M340i is an executive saloon. I will shortly be swapping my BMW 2019 G20 330i for a G20 M340i when it turns 3 years old. I should have waited six months for the M340i to arrive back in 2019. I looked at...

    Karcher Power Washer K2

    I purchased a K2 Full Control from the Outlet a couple of months ago. I thinks it was about £85 including the extended warranty, £5.99. Arrived in a plain brown box. Just the powerwasher + lance. No instructions or accessories. Item looked brand new, no marks or scratches. It had been...

    Recommend a Snow Foam Lance for Karcher K4

    I bought the Autobrite lance on recomendation from a thread on this forum. Good quality, good performance. Wish I could say the same for the Karcher K4 I also use. Cheap glued plastic parts. I have had to dismantle and replace several parts despite very light use. The outlet elbow needed...

    The 'aviva' drive app

    Tell me about it. I get an email every month with my Google timeline. It is scary. It shows dates, times and places even I didn't know I'd been to! I know I could turn off GPS but most apps rely on it.

    Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax

    I gave the BMW a thorough clean yesterday two weeks after my initial application of the Hybrid Ceramic Wax. This time I followed the instructions and a light mist one section at a time blasted with the Karcher. Happy Days. Much easier when you know how. As the spray hit the Hybrid wax you could...

    Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax

    My BMW had a ceramic coat when it was new exactly a year ago. I decided to try the Hybrid Ceramic instead of paying £80 to a detailer to apply a top up ceramic coat. I was very impressed with the shine. We will have to wait and see regarding the durability.

    Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax

    Yep, I made the mistake of applying it to the whole car in one go to save time. By the time I had finished spreading the base coat it had started to dry. I realised as I was jet washing it off that I had probably messed up. If doing it over I would do one panel at a time as the instructions...

    Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax

    I applied this yesterday to my 3 Series. After watching several Youtube videos I decided to buff in the base coat into wet surface before blasting the residue off with a Karcher. Then applied a second coat, rinsed and dried with a microfibre. I think I ended up using too much product. I used...
