    Could you drill a few holes into the lowest part to let the water drain out?😆

    abandoned car

    Result. The car has gone. Reported again to council on Saturday and on Monday a ticket had been attached to the windscreen stating the owner had 7 days to move the car or it would be towed. Tuesday is was gone. I don't know if it had been moved by the owner or towed away, hopefully the latter...

    abandoned car

    I can't say the car is dangerously parked or blocking anyone's drive way. It's just annoying because it takes up a space that residents of the street could use. The MOT isn't valid and it doesn't have insurance. Anyway I've reported it to the council again, so we'll see what happens. I think...

    abandoned car

    I should have added, I have reported the dodgy MOT to the DVSA. But they are of course more interested in the garage that issued it rather than the car...

    abandoned car

    Thanks John. As suspected, it's not insured either. I'll try reporting it again via the council website with this new information. I guess there is the possibility the owner may insure it once they are contacted about the car, since this what they did with the mot/tax.

    abandoned car

    Think I may already know the answer to this but just want to see if anyone has any ideas as what to do with a car abandoned in our road. First noticed the car over two years ago, hadn't moved for a few months and had a flat tyre. Checked the mot/tax history and no tax or mot for over a year. I...

    Fuel leak in W202

    No they are not expensive, although I cannot remember exactly what I paid for them. Normally it's the shorter pipe that needs replacing but I replaced both. When you fill with fuel do you fill the tank to the brim? I found that mine only leaked if I brimmed it, so for a while I only filled it to...

    Fuel leak in W202

    The rubber pipes that feed the fuel tank degrade, split and leak. Easy to change yourself. If you remove the wheel, there are a few bolts that hold the wheel liner. I didn't need to remove them all, as the liner can be folded back, it's quite flexible. Then your see the rubber pipes feeding the...

    pela oil extractors

    Yes, your oil was too cold if it took that long. I normally try and time my oil change so it's done after I've driven home from somewhere so the engine/oil is hot. It shouldn't take more than 20 minutes.

    Fuel Economy Query.

    That figure is very good. The best I have ever got was 34mpg, all motorways from Germany. Average around town was about 25mpg but now the car gets used only for short journeys by my wife, it's getting 22mpg and that will of course get lower in the colder months of the year. The fuel economy of...

    w202 tensioner damper

    Does anybody know if the lower part of tensioner damper is secured by just the bolt or should there be a nut on it? I have changed mine recently and there was no nut on the old one, however there is a nut shaped indentation where the bolt goes through (in the old and new damper). So not sure if...
