    Can I "Blue Efficiency" my engine?

    You don't really need to spend any money getting the most out of each gallon. Simple things like checking & correcting your Tyre pressures at least once a week can make all the difference. Keeping to the speed limit helps too. We all seem to be moaning about the cost of a Litre of Petrol or...

    StarProtect

    Star Protect I was offered this product for £300 on a used C Class at Mercedes Direct Caterham. I declined it & was then given it for free along with Star Smart.

    BP Ultimate Diesel claims to reduce that black cloud by 30% I think.As I'm sure other more expense Diesel brands do too. I have tried it and it did seem to make a difference. But of course it comes at a price! Then again it claims to improve Mpg and clean out your engine. Don't know if anyone...

    Cool Trick for W202/W210 Owners with Assyst (Newer style electronic key)

    Yeh that's in my handbook page 81 of the 'Exterior' booklet. Mines a W202 220cdi year 2000. I know the display also says 'HI' & beeps at you if too much oil is added as this once happened to me after a service.
