    DP or not DP?

    Just bought a E320 cdi, 2009 (reg. date 18/09/2009) - both surprised and delighted to find that it doesn't have the dreaded (and I mean that literally) DPF. Hooray. Mike

    2009/59 CLS 350 CDI Auto for sale with oil leak!

    As the title says, the car has developed an oil leak and it needs to go. Also, three electrical issues (3rd brake inop., no. plate lights and interior boot release). The car is absolutely mint, 2 owners, 83,000 miles. Would £3250 be a reasonable price? Mike

    Rear headrest W211

    Hi all, Just got a new (to me!) E280 cdi. Unfortunately, the previous owner's dog took a liking to one of the rear headrests and attempted to eat it. Any way I could remove the headrest from the two prongs without removing the whole unit, as I understand it is a PITA. Thanks in advance, Mike

    LED Number Plate Lights

    Hi all, quick question: Trying to replace the rather yellowish bulbs on my W211 but I have now tried two led sets and they were both about 1mm too long, both in terms of the actual length and also the white plastic mounting plate inside. Any recommendations, please? Mike

    E200 compressor

    Hi all, Just replaced my X Type 2.2d auto with the E200 kompressor petrol auto. The car is a facelift 2008, and the reason for change is that I now do a very low, sub-6000k pa mileage. The annoying DPF on the Jag involved me, once a week, driving up the road for 20mins at above 2000rpm to burn...

    Triplewax waterless clean and shine

    Currently on offer at Wilko for £2 for a litre. Just triedit and very impressed with the results - the BEST thing about it was that it masked the horrible swirl marks that were driving me nuts... Highly recommended.

    Denim bleed into leather

    Hi, Has anyone got a good solution for this? I've searched the net without a deal of success - the only likely one seemed to be Turtlewax Luxe Leather but is only available in America. Any advice will be much appreciated. Mike

    You know you're getting old when.....

    I thought I'd start a thread for a little nostalgia and perhaps some humour. I'll kick off: You know you're getting old when boot cut jeans used to be called flares.

    Piggate

    Apropos the above, I PMSL when I saw this brilliant tweet: Corbin at Prime Minister's question time..... "I have a question from Peppa, who asks 'should I be frightened?'".

    Top tip?

    I don't know about you guys but if you were as frustrated as me by the black and chrome window surrounds.....I tried everything to remove the 'dried rainspot effect' on them with everything I could think of. What fixed it? Good old WD40! We'll see how long it lasts.
