I thought I’d share a couple of observations I’ve had on the TPMS. Last year I fitted new winter tyres on a spare set of ally’s I’d bought just for the job. I also fitted new tpms sensors to them as I wanted to keep the functionality even on my winter set. The tpms needed “teaching to the car”...

So on my way home tonight I ran the usual gauntlet of Denton Rock roundabout. I’m always really careful on that roundabout as it’s either full of idiots who don’t know what lane they should be in, or idiots who don’t care what lane they should be in and cut you up so they don’t have to wait in...

Having spent the best part of two days sorting my summer rims out, I want to protect them and saw this in Halfrauds today. Has anyone ever used it and with decent results ? (Apologies if the question has been asked elsewhere but I couldn’t find it in a search)

As I was on my way to work last week I stopped at a roundabout to give way to traffic from the right. Unfortunately the lady behind me in her BMW 1 series didn’t stop and rear ended me. There was a pretty big thump and I feared the worst, but thankfully no one was hurt. Having inspected the...

My son recently brought me his girlfriends wrist watch to put a new battery in for her. She’s a good lass away from home studying for her masters degree and without much cash so I’m happy to do it for her. So one new battery installed and the jobs a good ‘un. On putting it back in the box for...

Sentencing today....11.5 year’s for taking 4 innocent lives, just over 2.5 years for each life he took. Where’s the justice ? Men sentenced over four-death crash

It seems like deja vu to me, but yet again there is another person in a position of responsibility that has been found guilty of perverting the course of justice. This lady has effectively ended her career as no one could henceforth describe her as a trustworthy honest individual fit to hold...

Hi folks I’m after some advice here. I fitted a new set of winter tyres, rims and tpms sensors recently. Ive got to say I’m pretty delighted with the whole set up apart from the sensors. I bought all the items individually and put them together myself. I got the tpms sensors from Amazon...

Seems like there’s going to be 86 Christmas cards going in the post from Essex Police. Dozens fined for driving wrong way on M11

I’ve just watched “Williams” on Netflix. I’m not sure how long it’s been released, but what an eye opener into Frank Williams and the team that he built from the ground upwards. I’m in awe of a lad from the north east who grew from nothing to one of the most successful teams ever. Some of the...

I was surfing YouTube for interesting merc stuff today and came across this.. It’s a bit too bling for me, but it started me wondering if these were even legal in the uk ?

So, W213 E220d premium plus with command.....I have two 64gb usb sticks plugged in. I’m playing a track from one of the sticks and decide I want to play something else. Voice command “play (track name)” and often the Car responds with “searching music data” then continues playing the original...

So I'm up and out this morning as usual and sat in my car at 0645. She unlocked as normal and everything came on the dash as expected. Then "key not recognised" pops up on the dash. I take it out of my pocket, wave it about, pop it into the centre console designated key slot. Nothing, nix...

Wow..... I grew up with U2 and have long been a fan. My senses are tingling already and they've only played one track so far. I hope the rest of the show is as good as that first number !

So here's the deal. Dual carriageway heading into the centre of town and not many cars about as it's early morning. I'm in the nearside lane and I see a doddery old lady heading towards a pedestrian crossing. She's obviously getting on a bit bless her and she has one of those 4 wheel shopping...

..... there's always some clown waiting to take you out. Stay safe folks

Shakes my head in disbelief at some folks irresponsibility and disregard for others:

So a week or so ago I was driving on a country road near Dumfries when I punctured the near side rear tyre. I'm not sure what caused it because we couldn't find the culprit, but whatever it was took out the near side front on the car behind me as well. So I have two passengers in the car, it's...
