I realised this morning that my tax was up at the end of the month, renewal had been filed away, as it does. Then it dawned on me that the test was up ! Checked the mot and it expires tomorrow !!!! A few phone calls around local test centres and one had a slot at 1:30 so car was taken down blind...

I will (hopefully) be starting a new job in a month or so and as much as I love the CLK ,it will be a little thirsty for a 90 mile round trip every day so i've been looking at C class (2000 MY on) as a potential daily driver/ commute car. For economy reasons obviuosly a 220d or 270d would be...

I have noticed something strange about my ebay account over the last few weeks and am starting to get a little suspicous. Basically i have been watching cars as i am on the look out for a 2nd motor and also i'm looking for a car for my son. My saved list is quite specific ,they are either mercs...

For the last couple of months the price of unleaded has been around the £1:39 - £1:40 around by me however my local Morrisons today was £1:34, with ASDA the same about 1/2 mile away. Are prices of oil really coming down ? or is it to soften the 3p government hike due in the summer?

I had two new front tyres fitted yesterday and noticed my front pads were a bit low. So i ordered a new set from Eurocarparts (with the mbclub discount :thumb:) and fitted them this afternoon but noticed that i only have a wear sensor on the nearside front ? The wiring seems to be in place up to...

I had my renewal through the door today as my insurance is up mid next month, i wont reveal the insurer but the quote i thought was quite reasonable at £ 395 for myself and my wife with my 5 yrs ncd. Written on the quote was " we are pleased to tell you that your premium has not increased this...

through some old Practical motorist magazines dating from the 1960's that i found in the loft of the house we recently bought and some of the features and letters were tbh amusing to say the least. Topics like 'overhaul your dynamo' and 'how to keep your trunnions at their best' to name but a...

Bit of advice please gents if you can. Basically we are signing for a house tomorrow :bannana:but its old and needs a lot of work as there was an old woman living there and nothings been done to it for the last forty years (seriously !!) so the next few months is going to be knocking down walls...

This happened just up the road from me a couple of weeks ago. Saw the aftermath but didnt know the reason until i read the report. Fortunatly no-one seriously injured. Brings the police driving into question though i think ? BBC News - Chicken bone throw led to 'bizarre' Swansea car pile-up

Following on from my previous thread about mot failure on high lambda reading i am delighted to say that the car past its test yesterday and is running like a dream. Was seriously torn about spending a lot of money on her but couldnt bare the thought of letting the old girl slip away so I put it...

I currently have a Sony head unit in the car and although i'm happy with the sound I have noticed some units on fleabay with Satnav,DVD,Tv, and reverse camera etc but they are double din. Before I go ripping out my stereo ,does anyone know if the (pointless) cubby hole is removable and is there...

Does anyone know the procedure for removing the wiper cover assembly for inspection/lubeing? Dont know when mine was looked at last so would like to get a look in there and clean and regrease before the weather turns worse without breaking anything. Thanks in advance.

If you remember I started a thread about my sons Alfa 156 and the fact that it wouldnt rev and was totally undrivable. Well today I have finally cured it! After much headscratching, a code reader, Alfa diag software and numerous suggestions from this forum I found that the CAT was blocked...

I had 2 new tyres fitted on the front of my car today but the fitter noticed I have a hairline split on the inside of one rim about 20mm long from the bead edge in towards the middle. Would probably explain why i was always blowing that corner up ,about every fortnight. Anyway, can anyone tell...
