Moany old fart warning. We're on the saver 7. I'm wanting to understand the comparable tariffs, to see if going for the cheaper 24hr tariff (compared to present normal tariff, and cheap 7 hours) would be a saving. I know my usage, that being from 2 years of history. I can use a calculator, so...

Fast delivery, but the driver lifted the delivery with "This Way Up" horizontal. so the battery had been travelling on its side. Would you reject the delivery, as I did?

Our Grove is to have 2 poles installed, so that the copper cables (underground and not ducted) will be replaced by overhead, festooned, fibre optic. Legally, of course, the street isn't ours, we just use it. So Fibre Heroes wishing to put up poles and string unsightly, retro style, cables to...

We're up in Scotland and Mrs Me complains she can get wet feet, associated but not always with bends. My guess is that I've a blocked AC drain on the passenger side. Any tips on where to find it to rod it would be appreciated. Thanks.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66310280 3,000 cars aboard, 25 of them electric, 1 is 'likely' the cause of the fire. That's a small proportion of leccy cars, and one goes poof. The attempt to save us from ICE pollution isn't looking positive in this case. So are freight transport...

On the off chance that the buyer ****..... is on here. Now I've cancelled there is no way to message through ebay. Sold for £12, by the time I pay ebay and paypal, and postage I get £3.59 Because the postage via Evri is £5.96 it just 'aint worth the risk of that in the hope the buyer is happy...

SO on Thursday I visit my GP. The appointment was 2 weeks after my call, so they're busy. The consultation of perhaps 10 minutes results in blood tests, a sample of ass exhaust, and the Dr sends a prescription direct to the Pharmacy to be collected, that's fair enough. The appointment was at a...

On the later version of the 639 the front screen antenna is connected to the amplifier by 2 push on connectors. There are then 2 coax leads down to the head unit, with 2 Fakra type plugs into the head. Is anyone able to tell me why 2 leads? Are they both serving the same purpose? The FM...

Split a ball joint yesterday, today lower ball joint on 211 and..... Is it misuse or a cr*p tool?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-64892358 I guess we'll find out as I'm sure there will be more of the same to come.

I'm out of touch so haven't got a clue how much to charge. A pal has a plastics engineering company. Not large, a handful of machines, including office staff 6 workers. He asked me to identify why a machines motor wouldn't run, and repair as required. So it's a motor control board that's blown...

Another handy trick is to add some teaspoons of white spirit into your windshield washer fluid. This way you can sit in the warmth and comfort of your car, simply pressing a button and seeing the ice melt right in front of you. I am about to buy some rubbing alcohol to add, but google the...

https://nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/epc/mercedes/3/m/651940/d80/15/105/?chasis=63981560R Number 70 in the diagram. It's described as CHANGE-OVER VALVE EXHAUST GAS HEAT EXCHANGER and also CHANGE-OVER VALVE WATER PUMP I always thought is was a coolant change over valve, but didn't...

I jack up on an inclined driveway, and chock the other wheels. Likely that has bearing but the jacking pads on this and previous 639's didn't last long, the flared retainers would snap and the pads would then hang loose and fall out. So yesterday I removed the bungs I'd fitted, and pre treated...

I've been suffering poor consumption for maybe 2,000 miles, down by possibly 30% at times. Around that time I replaced the main crank pulley and weeping water pump, so I've been looking for something I disturbed/ didn't reinstate correctly, nothing found so far. Brakes aren't binding. Injectors...

Apologies to those that have no interest, please treat this as just another one of those nuisance threads. Very, very tenuously to do with cars, as pooches often travel in 'em. But there has been some interest here in hound ownership of late, and we have been actively looking for an additional...

Following johnsco's thread on the 211 vibration, my Viano has had new mounts but has developed some vibes at tickover, more when cool. Is the crankshaft pulley / damper a likely culprit on the 651.940 engine?

I've diagnosed my rear wiper fault as being the SAM. Has anyone an idea of cost from MB? MB are too busy to answer their phone.
