    Are the "students" correct?

    Spike has summed it up - a good point about the USSR, but not really relevant comparing an aged communist state to a modern, western society such as ours (as it stands, at least). R21 - there's no deeper thought to dig out - I just think that charging that level of fee for education is not...

    To warm or not to warm?

    mine starts to heat the cabin after a few minutes - even though the temp guage hasn't moved - I think we spoke about this on another thread didn't we? - we were wondering if there was something electric in there?!?! - it works anyway!

    To warm or not to warm?

    o right - I didn't realise - I worked in germany for a few months in 2000 - 2001 - they are a funny culture. i remember working late in the evening in a mixed-nationality team and at exactly 6:30pm the german teams would be very apologietic but "have" to go - no problem I thought, it's been a...

    Are the "students" correct?

    why? where are they investing?? the HE grant will be cut by nearly 80% in real terms to colleges / universities - you don't think tripling the amount required from students will be a cash windfal for the colleges do you? also - we already see a two-tier estate in the college funding structure...

    Are the "students" correct?

    In my opinion, student numbers will drop - the headline figures of £9k per year are horrendous! - yes, you get a loan, but you also get an invoice for the course fees at the start of the year - if you don't want to enter into a "loan agreement" then you need to have a job earning approx £15k a...

    I don't really undertstand - why would the neighbour call the police and what has it got to do with the police?

    To warm or not to warm?

    i always leave it to warm up a little too - but this is a hotly contested subject!" I like to have a little warmth in the cabin and also to allow the rear heater and mirror heaters to do their job - i usually start it and then start scraping the ice off the windows - i'm a bit obsessive so I...

    Are the "students" correct?

    i support the students - I think it is horrendous. The most important thing any government can do is invest in education - at any level - primary, secondary, further, higher and lifelong adult learning. ts what seperates us from developing and undeveloped nations. Without a depth of skilled...

    W211 320CDI Battery

    i've not bought one myself, but I am led to believe that the MB dealer is as good a place as any to get a new battery from - MB branded, can't remember whose batteries they are - competitive price apparently.

    DONT DRINK AND DRIVE......please

    geoff is right though - even if all drink driving was eradicated overnight it would represent only a tiny% reduction in overal casualties and injuries on our roads. drink driving is extremley emotive in it's nature and the way it affects people - in particular you have to feel for people like...

    C220CDi (w204) - weird cold-start..

    Hi there - wonder if anyone can help me - I don't know if I have an 'issue' i should be worried about or not. with this recent cold snap, my 2008 W204 C220CDi has taken to revving quite high on startup. On these cold freezing mornings it starts instantly and straight away goes to 1300-1400 rpm...

    Identify this Car....

    ah - well, mercedes has long been an aspirational brand in india - I guess it is everywhere - but very much so in India where it is seen as the ulitmate western car (or it was when I was there in 1989 anyway!) so perhaps the local companies try to put little styling cues in there to emulate the...
