Worth watching the start as the driver learns the law of physics.

It rained heavy the other day and I had noticed a lot of water sloshing when braking, decided the have another attempt at curing this pesky problem.

Came back from holiday in the Lake District and 20 miles from home EML came on and display says "ABS fault", "runflat indicator inoperative" plus other faults even "reverse not available". Everything pointed to ABS wheel sensor failing, the car was left for a few minutes then restarted and...

My E250 is telling me the A service is due, the car has done just 3800 miles in the last 12 months. Is it worth doing an oil and filter change after such little miles ? Whats the point of using fully synthetic oil ( Fuchs GT1 Flex 23) and then chucking it out when it’s done very little, maybe...

Took my car for a short motorway drive yesterday, plugged the ICarsoft in to check my levels. The DPF was around 60% when I started off and within 6 miles you could watch the levels start to reduce and at the end was at 5 % and stopped there. It seemed to start during the first few miles, I was...

Couple of Mercs testing the virtues of hydraulic lock. Including a C63s.

The original battery on my E250 was dated 2014 and began struggling recently to start he car. The stop start function had also stopped working so main battery looked suspect. Just had a new battery arrive and promptly fitted it. Stop Start is now back to fully working and the Eco button goes...

We had a bright dry day yesterday so treated the soft top to a coating of Fabsil Gold as recommended by another member. The 1 litre tin gave just enough for 2 good coats, a tiny bit was left for my walking shoes. The results after today’s rain were impressive, hope it lasts.

Anyone see last nights Top Gear ? I thought it was awful laddish and dreary, apart from the talented Chris Harris, the other 2 don't really fit in, it also sounds as if they just read from the autocue. I don't think they have the charisma to pull it off.
