    Facelift S211 ISOFIX: how to reach the fittings through the leather seat gap ?

    I'm bemused by the ISOFIX fittings on my Facelift S211. I can see the restraint bars attached to the body shell, but I don't understand how you feed through to the body shell from the seat because there's no aperture to reach through. Can anyone explain what I'm failing to understand ...

    Squeaky folding mirror S / W211 ?

    My driver's mirror squeaks badly when it folds and unfolds. From memory I think it's an issue with a silly piece of trim within the mirror operation, not the actual folding arm of the mirror. But I'm loathe to take the mirror apart. Others have said that PTFE lubricant, but not WD40...

    Best film with a Mercedes in a significant role?

    It's raining, it's a wet August Saturday night, and MrsMiW is about to force in another two episodes of the Lincoln Lawyer. Advice sought from the collective hive mind. "What's the best film involving a Mercedes in a significant role?" I think the answer might be Frankenheimer's "Ronin" with...

    Has anyone rented a Tesla for a few weeks? Did it work out well, or not ?

    Hertz rent Tesla 3 and Y for normal money in the States this year. Has anyone rented one without prior experience of the brand? I'm tempted to do a six week road trip with one. But I'm wary of a whining sound in my right ear as MrsMiW goes on and on about features, functions, and...

    Historics are pushing water uphill this afternoon.

    Stuck indoors away from home, I've been watching the Historics auction at Windsor. Embarrassingly low prices and rate of sale. Is it the weather, time of year, or just too many "classics" being liquidated by their Boomer owners?

    Where do all the keyless car thefts go?

    There's a huge amount of keyless car theft going on. Silly volumes of premium cars being taken from the streets and front gardens of London and the provinces. Lockable bollards appearing in front of driveways, and steering locks "back in fashion." Simple question: where do they go...
