Week 5 So the adventure continues.... MPG updates: Having been off work for the past week I have done alot more "urban" milage and have therefore seen a higher fuel usage than maybe I would have expected, averaging in the 17-18 mpg bracket. Not a great deal of difference to a 300 bhp 3.5l...

With insurance you have to ask yourself a number of questions. Firstly, how likely am I to actually have an accident. If you are feeling lucky then you may wish to opt for a high excess, which will most likely keep the premiums down. One thing for sure though; any claim no matter how high or...

Week 3 So as I enter week 3 I say goodbye to the ML for a couple of days whilst I take a trip to Yeovilton with work. Overall impressions so far are very good and more than happy with the purchase. She is reasonably economical (all things considered) luxurious - as you would expect from an...

I was quite surprised that my Zed had a Bose system complete with tape deck....retro man!!!

Expensive calls?? How about this for pound for pound value....NOT!!! Wife rings me on my mobile from home for 20 minutes: £1.42 Wife rings friend in Virginia USA for 40 minutes: £1.26 I ring 118 SHAFT YOU for less than a minute: £1.00 :mad:

I guess until we see cars that have gone 3 years plus with HDD fitted as standard then the jury is still out. Not sure how robust these systems are but I am sure there are some ICE experts out there who could advise. We have still really yet to see the onslaught of cars fitted with DAB as...

Week 2 The week starts with the bad news that I have been outbid on a private plate on the DVLA auction. It was AMG based and was going on a previous vehicle I looked at (an AMG of course) but then when I got the ML I thought I would still get it and sell her privately to fund some...

So, almost a week in and still enjoying the car. Yesterday saw me with the oppurtunity to test out the airmatic to ford a flooded road. Unfortunately the car infront stalled and blocked the road so had to detour. And there I was all elevated and raring to go. To the fuel figures...well still...

Don't forget that that weekend sees the first of the stage 2 games in the World Cup, with England playing Saturday if they win their group.

M class only has 5 seats so you would have to go for a GL which has 7 seats. Check out my ...Life in the day of ....thread

Wattisham......home of the UK Apache Force....:thumb: As regards CC, it was far better for economy in the Nissan as it was 10 x more responsive to speed changes than a size nine would ever be. Have yet to compare the MB system over a prolonged period.

Some updated photos from work today....

You know, in the run up to choosing my car I did alot of research on things like fuel economy and I was astounded at the difference in returns. Alot of this I believe is down to software glitches within the ECU.(More prevalent in pre 06 models) I have had reports of single digit mpg and some as...

I think you're right. To ease the pain of running costs and depreciation you have to drive a hard bargain at the initial sale. By buying my 350Z direct from Nissan in Sunderland I saved a whopping £6G with a nearly, nearly, hardly driven, parked up for 6 months, new car! My ML attracted a...

Please tell me you didn't really break out a "sponge!" :doh:

Don't do it...you'll only end up depressed!

Got the car....living the dream! :bannana:
