    W204 ABS Sensor Plug Clip

    I replaced a front ABS sensor on my W204 today and all went well except for the fact I lost the little metal clip which holds the sensor into the pass through socket - highlighted on the image below. Anyone know what this is called or where to get a replacement one. It was a bit soul destroying...

    Opinions on market for W124 Coupe

    Thanks for the response. Will find out about the points mentioned. Does anyone know of any collectors or dealers who could advise on spec and condition? I can get photos of the car if it will help, just need to know what specific areas would need to be captured.

    Opinions on market for W124 Coupe

    Been a while since I have posted, but hoping for opinions or advice. Unfortunately, my uncle has become severely ill to the point where he needs constant care and certainly can no longer drive, so his car needs to be disposed of. My aunt was thinking to just get it scrapped, but I wanted to...

    Advice on used C350 Purchase

    I'm looking to purchase a ~61 reg C350 CDI estate, with 30-50k miles. I like the look of the 125 edition model, but I am flexible on this. Firstly I was expecting somewhere in the ballpark of £19-21k for this, depending on features and miles. Is this a reasonable expectation? My local dealer...

    Expired road tax

    Isn't the seller supposed to send the V5? So, you have section 8 of the form, and a receipt to show you have purchased the car, and your friend sends of the V5 signed by him and you. If he wants proof of the sale (or is just sensible), he can take a copy before sending the V5, showing it signed...

    Myprotein have decent products, but their customer service is absolutely terrible. That's not just my personal opinion, but is well known since TheHut bought them out. Also would be nice if they could spell delivery properly!

    I wouldn't do the upright rows for now, based on what you say, there is a fair chance they might cause shoulder impingement. If you're getting shoulder pain, work on strengthening and stretching the back, particularly the middle portion between the shoulder blades. Without going into an...

    Any Weightlifters About ?

    On the subject of supplements, lot's of it is over hyped marketing. Creatine is good, if you're a responder, however approx 1/3 of people have no response, 1/3 of people have a small response and 1/3 of people have a decent response. It's so cheap though, that it's always worth giving a try to...

    Any Weightlifters About ?

    Thank you! Actually I really appreciate that feedback, as being in a world of gym goers, and watching on TV the guys in my weight class put up ~200kg for a snatch, its very easy to lose perspective, and take for granted what you've got. I know I'm never going to be a world champion, especially...

    Any Weightlifters About ?

    It starts that way! I only got into it, because I was thinking of getting back into rugby a few years ago, started doing power cleans in my training, and just happened to train at the same place as a former team GB weightlifter who steered me away from rugby and into weightlifting. I've done a...

    Any Weightlifters About ?

    Based on what you say, I think getting more weight would be a big advantage. I would also avoid cleans and snatches initially, until you get a bit more of a base of strength, as it will reduce the chance of injury, plus as been mentioned, good coaching makes a huge difference here. I would...

    Why would you need a tall ceiling to do a clean?

    Any Weightlifters About ?

    My first question would be what are your long and short term goals, do you want to get strong, do you want to get big, do you want to lose fat, do you want to get better at a sport, do you want to win a bodybuilding show etc... Depending on what you want to achieve, the way to go about it will...

    I have had enough - any ideas?

    The reality is a bit different though. The first hurdle is that without being a cash buyer, getting a mortgage in the US with no credit history is a pain, and won't be the best deal. The purchase price of the house appears cheap, but then you have to pay property taxes that are much higher...

    I have had enough - any ideas?

    Just wanted to particularly highlight this one. This is a bit of a myth, to the tourist the US seems cheap, but living there with taxes and healthcare is a different beast, and cost of living is actually not very different at all. Not wanting to put a downer on your dreams at all, as I think it...

    ANPR Big Brother and your privacy, well you have none...

    Not questioning that at all. I was purely responding to the part of Spinals post requesting people who say they have nothing to hide to post personal information.

    ANPR Big Brother and your privacy, well you have none...

    You realise that there is a difference between not hiding something, and publicly displaying something? It is possible for there to be an area in between the two extremes, rather than all or nothing. I'm not particularly fussed by CCTV, and I don't believe I have anything to hide, but that...

    4 Year service due MB of Basingstoke here I come!

    I have always found the Tony Purlslow group to be a pleasure to deal with, and have never had an issue with them. I use the MB of Guildford branch, but I see no reason for Basingstoke to treat you any differently.

    Laser eye surgery

    Not true, the US forces did a lot of research into this recently, and in fact were paying for members of the US armed forces to have the operations. Since then they have decided that it is ok, see the appropriate question here: RAF College Cranwell - FAQs
