Okay - nice thought while it lasted. Thanks.

Yeah - I know what you mean, but somebody told me it was possible, and obviously it saves some of the work of extracting and transporting the block. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the firm he mentioned.

Hi All, Is mobile engine block skimming available at all? If yes, do you know anyone covering Surrey? Cheers.

Fairly straight forward. Guide is what they expect it to go for. No reserve means that it will be sold to the highest bidder regardless of the price.

I really wonder what Ron Dennis will do next. He doesn't strike me as the retiring sort.

Back to the original question which I agonise over quite frequently since parting with my 300TE24v - Have you thought about Toyota Crown Estate? Has to be on import, but is like a Lexus GS300 estate. They have reasonable power and if they are anything like Lexus very comfortable.

What is wrong with your presenter? i.e what are the symptoms?

As Title. Suitable for 6 + cars. Location - west M25 area Junctions 10 to 17

The car is written off with very little investigation. It seems they must have a protocol in these cases. A repair can't be guaranteed so it's off to the salvage company. Amazing really. Fingers crossed that we don't have too much trouble getting adequate value in good time.

Yes, the dilemma is whether to make a claim or not. Difficult if not impossible to know at the moment versus costs and aggro of claiming. I guess the safe thing is to report to insurance. I think that guarantees loading of premiums in future and any repair is out of our hands.

My wife returned to her W209 CLK 280 today to find that it had been flooded. It looked as though the water had been about a foot deep and had flooded the interior. The obvious damage is to the drivers seat which seems to have maxed itself out on all settings and then burned out at least one...

Back to garage tomorrow.

Thanks. Adjusting the pressure cable seemed to make no difference, which adds weight to the issue being somewhere else. Seems a bit beyond me and will take the car back...

Yes, it'll be going back, was just hoping I could twirl a spanner and adjust it. :-)

Useful site that (W124 performance). I tried adjusting the control pressure cable but there was no difference. In addition to changing up too early I also noticed that I have no kickdown. Whilst the number of possible factors at play here is not that great, I find the whole automatic gearbox...

Had a replacement automatic transmission fitted a couple of weeks back. It came back to me changing up too late with the advice to run it for a couple of hundred miles to see if it settled down. Cutting things short, it is now fairly consistently shifting up too early. To save going back to...

Without seeing it and looking for serious corrosion, I'd say that was good value at around that price. It may be missing history which would affect price too?

I had a bit of a saga with seized caliper pins on our 2008 A209. The final solution (and the information of interest) was that I eventually removed them with a soaking of Plusgas over a couple of days and a good 5mm pin punch.

Yes, missing 100bhp :-) Think the wheels would be better in silver too.
