My Snap On man has been thinking of buying a 190 2.3 that has been in the back of one of his customers workshop for a long time, apparently with no interior. I wondered if it was the same one

Is this the one Peter Laker, Snap On, was contemplating buying from you?

I like my W164 ML for winter duties. Must have’s for those nasty winter days are four wheel drive, decent winter tyres, good heater and heated seats. Absolutely must have the heated seats. No excuses.

On my crib sheet, A0 service is engine oil and filter, plus sunroof lube if applicable and spark plugs on certain petrol models.

His mum had a C32 estate back in the day. I’ve met him on holiday at Crantock Bay a couple of times. He’s been holidaying there since childhood apparently

Back on the original topic, the “new” car is going well. Interestingly it’s more economical around town, returning low 40’s in this winter weather where the old straight six would have been mid to high 30’s. On a decent run though it’s 46-48 mpg, where the old car would have shown 48-50mpg...

I only have two experiences with ghost immobilisers, neither of which is great. Both were on JLR products. The first, on a new defender involved using the window switches on the driver’s door to disarm. This rendered the vehicle completely stuck when rainwater got into the switch from an open...

Cars with electric AC compressors work with the motor windings immersed in the AC system to cool them. It’s absolutely vital that the correct lubricating oil is used in a system recharge. The correct oil has special dielectric properties. Using the wrong oil will ruin it.

Stunning car. Fitted right in!

Yeah, it is. Met up with him and the car at Kiklo Spaces earlier this year.

I just found out today about the Darvaza gas crater. Honestly, you couldn’t make it up.

I’m a fence sitter. I don’t own an ev, but I’ve worked on and driven a few. My pal has had a tesla m3 and currently a Hyundai as company cars (no choice in the matter), and he was ok with them until the other day when he needed to charge on the way home from a distant site visit. The car chose...

Are you sure it’s suspension? The pano roofs are notorious for rattles. Is it still there if you drive with the tilt open?

Incredible colour!!!
