    Goodbye E-Class...

    I got myself a (marmite) BMW 335D GT xdrive m-sport in white. This was £48k (with options) 2 years ago and due to how unpopular it is and a bit of negotiation, I got it down to £20k with 10k miles on the clock. The trick is never let them know you really like this car and make them aware you...

    EBD and ABS on and various issues after changing wheels

    I had my W212 remapped on Saturday, all seems well and I left with no issues. Today I took my car to a wheel refurb company, they put some 17s Merc replacement wheels on my car for the time being whilst my 18s are in until Friday. I drove away slowly for 2 minutes and a few warning lights...

    Attempted car break in

    So I just got a call from my mother to say she discovered this on the passenger door of her little Toyota Aygo. It seems some low life had avoided all the expensive motors along the road and went for one without alarm. Probably wanted to go for a joy ride opposed to selling it on for profit...

    W212 Facelift rear LED fault

    I spotted the left tail light (the one on the boot lid is fine) was out when I was getting something out of the boot. I tried to find a replacement but it seems like all the major parts companies don't sell replacement, in fact they don't even list 'rear light' etc. I am not even sure whether I...

    Looking for an indoor self detail location

    As the title says, it's a bit cold and unpredictable out there and ideally I want an indoor place where I can properly wash and detail my car, is there such a place?

    Collecting an import car from Southampton docks

    I want to see what you guys think. My friend is an import car trader and he goes down to the docks every few weeks to collect the cars he has bought from Japan. He has trade plates and the correct insurance but no MOT on any of the cars. He wants to know whether driving these cars back to his...

    Autoglym Super Resin Polish

    Sorry if this has been covered before. I went and bought a big bottle on offer at Halfords, just used it on my car, so far so good, easy to apply and buff off, very shiny now and it really does mask most of the scratches and restored a damaged patch the size of a tennis ball caused by some...

    Install Pedal box to W212

    So I've been given a used pedal box (which suppose to improve throttle response) with no instructions or box, I wonder if any of you tried to install this to your W212? How did you do it? I have only heard positive reviews about these so I will give it try but I don't want to start...

    3 months into my E-class ownership

    ...and it's been a wonderful experience so far. 3000 miles and I still look back at the car after I've parked it. Sometimes parking alongside 5-series and A6 and I just think my god, how blend are these cars?! It's built like a tank but sadly as slow as one too :D However I noticed a...
