What sort of mileage/age had your car done to wear out the engine mounts? I am assuming that as it is a huge lump it will wear out quicker than other cars?

That is very interesting - has anyone else tried the above? I have just started to use Millers, just to help keep things nice and clean, no particular problem etc, but I am only using what the bottle recommends.

That review is not too good - 66% overall. The wet weather performance rating alone would stop me buying them.

+2 I never scrimp on tyres. They are so critical to saving your life, and your loved ones lives, that the few pounds extra spent are worth it. I went with MO Continentals. I know there are cheaper options out there but these have been great so far. It does hurt the old pocket when they...

My car has just decided that it is going to squeak every time I put my foot on the brake pedal! I am assuming that it is just the rubbers/joints in the brake pedal unit but it is hard to detect exactly where it is coming from. Does anyone know if it is safe/ok to spray a little silicone...

Mine has the electric seat adjustment on the sides of the seats but to move it backwards and forwards you have to pull the lever at the front and push/pull the seat to/fro! I also find it amazing what some people order when buying a new car! Not that I am ever likely to have that dilema:wallbash:

I am going to France soon as well but I have decided to take the easy option and just remember the clock is one hour out!

Couldn't find anything on a merc E320 CDi :-(

That is really useful to know for the future! Thanks

TG is so obviously heavily scripted that I feel embarrassed for them at times - well I would if they were not paid so much. Being fair to them though it is very funny in a school boy way, they say things others would love to be able to say publicly, and they definitely love cars. Without them it...

'The intelligent use of power'. If you give stupid people powers, then they will use them in a stupid way. Intelligent use of power would result in a caution for misdemeaners such as number plate technicalities. In fairness to the police, they are just a cross section of society so they do have...

Is this is a common problem or just one that 'can' turn up? Also, is this a problem on a W211 CDi? Thanks

You are absolutely 100% correct! When I saw and tried to complain about 2 police bikes and three police cars working with a police ANPR van I was stopped and searched under anti-terror laws! My subsequent written complaint to the Chief Constable concerned was a waste of paper and postage...

LMAO:bannana: Spoken like a true police officer - no offence intended!

I really think it is a major mistake for land Rover. The Range Rover I lust over but the evoque - no thank you! When I found out that Victoria Beckham was a 'style consultant' on it it all became clear why it is one wierd looking car! Why on earth would LR ask for her opinion?!!!!
