I have numerous vehicles , one of which is an earlier 2008 GL420, very versatile and comfortable car and huge carrying and towing abitilty. When people talk to me about the cars i have on, most occasions, said that if I had to have just one vehicle then it would probably be a much newer GL, or...

Together with the little orange ( generally ) Simcas with their roll cages inside !

I have autopay set up and obviously most times I have been charged, however there have been a couple of times when no charge was taken, I can only assume there was a camera issue on those times. If I had not been on autopay then obviously I would have manually paid , in my case using autopay...

These are very very expensive cars to maintain, a friend of mine had a 2007 one for several years, he was lucky to have got a brilliant Syntner used car warranty when he first got it and then he took out a mercedes warranty afterwards up until it was 13 years old, I think that was as long as...

Personally I like the E class, that one looks as if it is Diamond Silver, if it is then it is the same colour as my S class and I must say it is a colour that really does not show the dirt and dust much, I do have an XJ in dark blue and that does require a lot more cleaning.

No shadow under the nose haha

Autoglass basingstoke did a screen 18 months ago on my XJL and then literally 3 months later the S class needed a new screen. With the Jaguar they did it at my home and all went well. With the Mercedes I had to take it to the Basingstoke place to do as they had all the calibration to do, front...

So today I fitted a new Auxiliary battery to the S class, I had watched a couple of you tube videos and it seemed it would take longer to actually gain access than actually swap the battery. I bought a genuine Merc battery from Listers Mercedes in Grimsby as they have an ebay shop. You need torx...

Fitted a new rear tailgate latch mechanism to my GL, it packed up a week ago, I searched Youtube and watched a few videos ( they showed the ML) which was very similar with the difference being just the manual release part, I ordered a medium priced part, £100 , from ebay, it arrived today and...

I actually fitted these type of holders to my S class only a month ago, I got them on ebay for about £25 or maybe a bit more, including the "key" , you can buy the "key" separately on ebay for about £6 I think

I saw that today as well, up near the Mandeville Hotel, it went by while I was waiting there

I hate the zone as much as the next guy but sadly I have absolutely no option to avoid it when driving clients on a regular basis to central london ! I guess you are lucky to not need to go into London

I can confirm that even with these plates I am still getting billed by congestion charge and or ulez.

Years ago it was a guy called Steve Parrish that owned that plate, I saw it on a merc at one point, he used to race trucks at one point. No idea what he is doing now.

many years ago I got some replacement struts for a friends Jeep Grand Cherokee , we did the bonnet , tailgate and rear glass, three pairs. We carefully measured them and looked at the actually fittings ( most appear to be universal ) and ordered them from an online company that specialised in...

A couple of years ago , for a friend, I changed his switched fuse spur that isolated his boiler programmer and the system for a single ordinary 13a socket. Then on the lead from the original spur to the programmer I fitted a normal 13a plug, I cannot remember whether or not we downgraded the...

Going across the Severn Bridge on Saturday heading towards Wales and we were overtaken by an S63 coupe with the plate " WEL5H ", no photo as I was driving !

As mentioned above the problem is sourcing a good used Auto for a first car. I have helped out various friends over the last 20 years or so by finding them such a car. Only a few weeks ago a friend got in touch and asked if I could get a used auto for his daughter who has just passed her test...

I just heard about it at the weekend on the other MB forum, I have a 2008 420GL so it may effect me, I am going to ask my local dealer about it .
