I am at my wits end because i am on the verge of turning my life upside down and leaving my marriage after nearly 26years together. For the last few years my 45 year old wife's temper/moods have got steadily worse and is now at the stage where EVERY day is a battle. Unfortunately she will not...

That will last more than three package holidays abroad and still look ok for use. I do not want to spend too much over £100, any ideas please? P.S. I am also not sure which type of case is best to get, plastic (solid) or a softer type?

I had a noise as if a tennis ball was rattling around in the back of my SL500 (R230 on a 03plate.) Took it to a local independent, they have told me something has broken off INSIDE the fuel tank and i need a new one. A new petrol tank is around £500 +vat with labour around the same amount on...

I have a knocking on the drivers side inside the box, my local Quick Fit say it is a broken cat on the drivers side,m they will get back to me with a price. All the exhaust is ok to look at so it could be as they say. They also said it is going to be VERY expensive. Is there any other possible...

I have been thinking about buying the Bose portable (2nd generation with a battery) but i was very surprised that it is still £350 over a year after it was released. Any suggestions on this or any other types? I definately would not want to spend any more than this.

1) Can the grantee (me) put the number plate on the car of the nominee who's name the car is in? I am on the insurance. 2) Can i take said car to my local DVLA and do it even though it is not my car? 3) What documents/infomation would i have to take with me? (to get it right first time.)...

I need to have a M.O.T done by the end of the month and have a "free" M.O.T certificate/voucher for M.B in Lakeside. The dilema i have is, i think the car will possibly fail the test. Should i get the M.O.T done so that i then have a idea what to needs to be done so that i can get a couple of...

I had to have a new tyre put on the 18" AMGs. I took the car to the garage expecting the fitter to search the boot for the keys to the locking wheel nuts or at least have a "special key" to get the wheels off. I could not believe AMG alloy's on Mercs dont have locking wheel nuts:eek:. I need...

From London Stansted for only £12 return in October:D. Going up for 4 day's to see my first old firm derby at Ibrox Park. More good news, i am only missing Spurs away to Blackburn, (which i doubt i would have gone to anyway.) Anyone have any memories of a Old Firm Game?:p P.S. By not...

Which was stripped off at the car wash. I have no idea where would be best to get it done and how much it would cost or to call out a service? I live in the East London/Essex area. P.S. I did look back a lot of pages:)

Im selling our non running Smart car (02 Passion Covertible) to the garage that were going to fix it for £1,150. It was £1,500 to re-condition the engine so decided to get rid of it. Obviously the buyer is buying so that he can sell it on for a healthy profit. The problem i think i may have is...

Any ideas where may be a good place in the East London/Essex area to get the work done? Also, im not sure if a recon engine is the way to go? Unfortunately i will be selling the car after it is fixed.

Last week i bought a car at auction (B.C.A Bedford) for £6k but was quite surprised at the extra charges they put on top for non traders. I ended up paying £352 extra, the most surprising to me was the 1.5% they charge if you buy with cash or C/C. I paid the minimim needed in cash (£1,200) to...

If this is true, i need to find out if my wifes new car (bought yesterday with NO Tax, a 06 1.6 Ford Focus Automatic) is going to cost? How do i find out the current and new costs? P.S. I know she has to get tax to use the car this month, could she cash it back in n the last day of April and...

She does about 60/70 miles motorway driving a day, so im looking for a motor that is good for quite a lot of mileage that i want to last at least 5 years. I only have about £5,000 to spend very soon, like now. Any suggestions? P.S. She blew up her Smart car today that i have been begging her...

I just had a call from Car Registration Transfer who about 3 years ago, i gave my Number Plate S55 PUR to put up for possible sale, (not put it on my SL yet.). Here is my questions. They offered me £1,950 of the supposed £2,220 they have been "provisionally offered" (whatever that means?). How...

I have not bought a car magazine for about six months, the last i heard Honda were taking this (electric?) car to the States first? Is it coming over here and does it still have the same name? The reason i ask is i have the number plate T11 FCX (The Honda FCX,) i was hoping it would increase...

I have never been to this lovely side of London before, was wondering if anybody has some advice on places to visit etc? We would also be looking to eat at a nice Restaurant on the Sunday afternoon. We are staying in the Oakley Court Hotel, anyone stayed here or know anything about it? Thanks.

Since last night (i think because of the heavy winds,) the alarm on my SL500 (03plate) is constantly going off. It must have happened 15-20 times in the last 15hrs and the neighbours must want to kill me. I have keyless go and a key fob (no key.) I have just now started leaving the car unlocked...
