    The Master Locksmith.

    I only ever had one key for my car and last week it failed. When I opened it it was a detached coil that was the problem. Mercedes wanted £280 for a new one which I was prepared to spend...but they needed the car for identity purposes...on a low loader. This could have doubled the cost. So, I...

    MPG, costs per month.

    40 litres is 8.8 gallons of fuel...now do the sums again...

    ABC hydraulic suspension

    Could be so many things. Best get the codes read and see what turns up. But, very unlikely for 2 things to go wrong at the same time...so looking for a single cause.

    Cruise control issue

    Could be as simple as worn tyres at one end. Or a failing speed sensor. Best to get the codes read.

    Insurance is a JOKE

    Last year £398, got a renewal quote of £786. Eventually, through a comparison site, I settled on Admiral at £347. Bit of a result!

    I had an inspection today at work ..... EV charging points was on the report!

    Could you add fireproofing measures to the building where the charge points are situated? To be fair, we tend to not leave vehicles near our building overnight due to arson concerns.

    Mercedes alloy centre cap tool

    The 17mm can be undone with the wheel brace...you will have to carry a 22mm wrench to avoid being stuck in the event you need to remove a wheel far from home.

    A Cautionary Tale...

    I have run mine almost everyday since May 2016. It cost me about £600 last year on various suspension arms etrc...not ABC related. The wheels on that car are the standard 17" from the factory.

    My Wife

    Shaun I'm sorry to hear of Ann's worsened condition. I always liked her spirit in the face of the severe difficulties she, and you, faced. All the very best and let's hope something can be sorted.

    ABS/power steering.

    Since I posted I've been able to read the codes. It is likely the YAW sensor. Thanks for your reply.

    ABS/power steering.

    Twice now, the ABS warning light has come on. Once last night in very wet weather, and again this morning in very wet weather. When I started out this morning the ABS light did not come on until a few minutes into my journey, and several very deep puddles and small floods. At the same time...

    How much do you spend on gas each day?

    That is impressive...about £500 for the year for electric. Our electric cost £220 in September...one month! Our usage doubled when our daughter and her family came home from NZ and are staying with us until they sort a house. They doubled our usage. It's the tumble dryer, they use cloth...

    CL500 2004 19" AMG TYRE PRESSURES

    Those tyre sizes are incorrect...the rears should have a lower profile.The rears should be 275/35. I use the same pressures as for the 17s.

    Aquaplaning...Eeek!!!

    Horizontal wood fences should be banned along roads. They have been responsible for many deaths in otherwise survivable road crashes.
