    Tinnitus

    I help run a tinnitus support group in Birmingham (www.tinnitusbham.org.uk) - I lost my hearing in one ear when I was a child - and now have severe hearing loss in my "once good" ear.

    Car Cover

    As you have a convertible - make sure you buy one that has a fleece liner and is breathable - trouble is they are not cheap! Have a look at Europa Specialist Spares - they supply mainly for the Vintage/Classic market! If you don't get the breathable ones - you will find your hood turning green!

    Replacement Windscreens - Who's Best to do it?

    I had a small chip on my screen which would have been repairable - AA man came (on instructions from my insurance company) along and proceeded to repair in the full sun on what was one of the hottest days last summer - needless to say the chip became a crack and a new screen was needed - cost me...

    CLK Cabriolet and Bike Rack

    Thanks for this, trouble is, I think the action of the hood when opening/closing means I cannot put the top straps in place (or at least that is what I am led to believe!)

    CLK Cabriolet and Bike Rack

    Want to take my bike over to Spain - but still have the hood down - anyone know of a bike rack I can use that allows the hood up/down - I know I could fit a tow-bar (if I could source one at a reasonable price that is) but I'd rather have a boot mount! Ta

    Flat Battery (ALMOST) W220 - Strange electrical problems after

    Try disconnecting the battery (both cables) touch both positive and earth cables together - this should (in theory) discharge any "memory" in CPU's. Can't guarantee it will work - but it did for my Jag S-Type when I had similar issues!
