As jay says Right where water collects sometimes... Great design? Worth checking it's not too damp down there, the water drains through a small hole in a rubber bung under the changer which can block easily. I appreciate water shouldn't be able to get there in the first place but it can...

Or you're in a conservation area where the restrictions apply to any tree with a trunk diameter in excess of 75mm at a height of 1.5m (typically) Don't mean to sound pedantic but equally don't want anyone reading this thread and getting into trouble! Not applied for work on a tree with a...

Isn't £6800 pretty rich for a 120k mile '00 W215 anyway?

sorry - should have been clearer - we are members of ACO, and have been for a few years, and still struggled this year!

Also booked... Also going in a range rover... Also had hassle with getting tickets though ACO No relation to Mark though!

Sorry for seemingly abandoning this thread but have been busy with work. Dealer looked at the car - they think there's a problem with the throttle controller and will replace that - still no view on the intermittently faulty lights FYI - it doesn't have LED's or DRL's Thanks to those...

Agreed on Mobilio - used them a number of times when I had my CL :( but wasn't around when they restarted his car

it's downstairs in the office car park - i'll go and have a look for myself this afternoon if i have time so at least we can cover off the existence of DRL's ta

We once took a 'client' to Goodwood Festival of Speed. He turned up in a Lagonda (as in one of 1930's vintage not an Aston Martin) - and we got to discussing cars, as you do. We were going through his car collection which consisted of various modern and historic exotica and got up to about...

It was jumped from another car which was running The headlights are on, not fogs - and the owner (who to be fair is even less clueless than me) says there aren't any DRL's/LED's. He's insistent that it's changed recently. Cheers

Thanks - the battery was jumped to the 'jump points' in accordance with the manual (apparently - not done by me). The lights are not the DRL's - definitely a change from before. It's being sorted by the dealers, unless they claim the owner's been negligent by allowingthe battery to...

Guys Can anybody help me help a friend please? Car is a new (Feb10) ML as above - let me know if you need any further details. It has recently been left standing for a couple of months during which time the battery (predictably) drained completely. Restarted OK with the help of jump...

I don't usually like private number plates, but that one seems pretty apt...

I use a signal booster to great effect. We have a combination of old ariels and large trees which means we get very poor reception. Without a booster I don't get any channels (analogue or digital) - with a booster I normally get about half the digital signals and a decent analogue reception...

I have been known to do the same - the boot wont even stay shut, let alone lock - I cringed about the expense at first too (not that we think the worst about our cars)

We looked at some recently to cover a small front garden which is always bone dry, full of weeds and a pain to cut the few times anything actually grows a bit. The cheap stuff is awful - the more expensve stuff is far better, but expensive. Personally I would use it to cover a small...

I agree the wing will serve a function and it is a pure race car, not a road car, but the rear appendage still looks like it came from Halfords. Caught a glimpse of a red SLS on the M6 yesterday (opposite carriageway unfortunately) - looked stunning.

I took mine to Le Mans twice - the suspension failed the first time and the crank position sensor failed the second, stranding me in the Euro Tunnel car park! Not sure it's the perfect wagon for Le Mans ;) (I do see you point though - it was an absolute hoot when it was working) My 2p - the...

Only even had one close call - was driving in France with my family in the car when a flat-bed lorry understeered onto my side of the road. As I was on the right hand side of the car and driving on the right I managed to brake hard and steer all the way to one side away from him (there was a...

It's the car that needs to qualify, not just the driver (and having seen some of the driving that bit can't be too hard ;) ). I will keep an eye out for it - PM me some details if you have the latest - we get access to the paddocks so if it is racing with any luck it will be there when I take...
