    Fuel price

    Just back from a trip to Brittany and we were really pleased to be paying just €1.50 for diesel. Over the 1500 miles we covered and filled the tank before we got back on the train I think we saved over £100

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    Exactly this. I purchased a couple of matching plates for my wife and I as a gift for our first wedding anniversary (gave her the paper parts) that are a bit corny and in isolation don't seem that special but they mean a lot to us and look good when the cars are next to each other. DA54 YFS...

    My dad, Bruce Millar

    I too offer my condolences to you and your family. Like many here I had never met Bruce face to face which was a shame as we live so close but had spoken with him on the phone and enjoyed reading his adventures here. RIP

    Soundbars

    At the moment it is below the Tv and the the centre. I might move it to the other side of the room nearer where we sit to give it a try as I might be able to turn it down further so it doesn’t resonate through the house when SWMBO goes to bed.

    Soundbars

    Thank you all for the advice and suggestions. We spent some time listening to lots of bars and systems in Currys on Friday night but were not impressed by anything and the lack of knowledge from the staff was shocking. Saturday morning we popped into Richer Sounds in Maidstone and discussed...

    Soundbars

    Thank you all for the feedback so far. I think we might pop to the local Currys/PC World this evening to look an listen to some. This will be the only speaker in the living room as there is no stereo in there apart from an old Bose Bluetooth one that we stream music to from our phones if we...

    Looking for some advice and having seen posts on here before I know there are some knowledgable TV/Audio people here. Last year we replace an old Sony 40" tv with a 49" LG 49UJ634V, now this TV is better in every area than the previous Sony except in the sound. The sound quality is garbage and...

    E Class 2016 212 Heater/climate control Help

    Bit of an update. The car is due to go back in next week as they seem to have managed to break the ILS system and the heater, in my opinion, is still not working correctly. Last night I drove it for about 45 minutes and even with the auto climate set at 26 degrees I was still wearing a thick...

    Tools. What's in your box?

    You're a very BAD man Bruce... I might have stopped in at Halfords on my way home last night for one of the black 1/4 drive socket sets, I had no need for them but they looked good and well I'm week willed! I did resist the big set though, well for the moment.

    Tyre Pressure Sensor

    Yesterday I swapped my summer wheels for my winters but am getting 1 sensor reading as zero. The sensors were working fine when the wheels were removed earlier this year and they were all new just over a year ago (14 months :( ). The wheels were stored in tyre storage covers in one of the...

    For caravanners' eyes only - we're getting a new one!!

    Ive got to buy some water containers to use with the folding trailer tent but unsure how big to go. There will be just the two of us most of the time so im not expecting to use much on a daily basis but how much would you say you use on a daily basis? Space could be an issue for transport so I...

    For caravanners' eyes only - we're getting a new one!!

    Does a folding camper count to allow access in to this thread? as I will be looking for lots of tips etc. We have just bought a 2011 Conway Crusader which we are due to collect this coming Saturday. The thing is huge when assembled but folds away small for transport. Unfortunately I can't get...

    Auxiliary Battery Message.

    Had the same problem a couple of months ago on my e-class. The dealer sorted it under warranty, I think it was a new battery.

    Remote controlled planes etc

    Some impressive stuff in that video for sure. Some of it was filmed at the Weston Park model show as I remember seeing (and hearing) the pulse jets fly whilst I was there working on our stand. Ive been doing RC planes, cars and helicopters for about 25 years myself and have worked in the...

    E-Class bumper painting

    Thank you guys for the replies. I have passed this over to my insurance company now as the 3rd parties damage has come out very high and i've found a crease in my bumper that I don't think will be repairable. Insurers have given me a couple of their approved body shops to get a quote but have...

    E-Class bumper painting

    Had a small incident on Saturday that has left some nasty marks on the bumper along with some scratches. Before I go down the insurance route (want to try and avoid this) can any one give me an idea of what it would cost to have a rear bumper painted in metallic. And can anyone suggest a...

    Number plate spacing?

    The subject of number plate spacing has come up at home between the wife (3 months now) and I as we have considered getting a matching set of plates for our cars. We are considering AB54 CDS and CD54 ABS but spaced AB5 4 CDS and then CD5 4 ABS (actual letters changed so someone doesn't buy...

    S212 dash cam best power supply from?..

    Mine was fitted by Halfords and the guy ran a feed all the way back to the boot. Very tidy and only took him about 30 minutes and cost me £30 including the next base fitting kit.
