The door mirrors are creaking when folding. Is there a particular lubricant that should be used or will a silicon spray do the job ?

That's No.3. No.2 is to beat the sh## out of it with a 2lb hammer Then if it still wont move retire to tool cabinet for angle grinder and the BIG persuader for No.3 Of course that's if you cant use the "Hot Spanner" :devil:

Sorted! After all the faffing about yesterday it took me about 10mins this morning and that includes taking it to the workshop to put it on charge :wallbash: After 40+ years in engineering I should have known better than to get wound up over it. When something wont come apart or go together...

:crazy: Is there a knack/trick to removing the battery off an E class or is it just a case of brute strength and "higorance"? The former I have problems with nowadays the latter just comes naturally . I got the -ve off easily but the +ve just wont come off. Its loose on the post but I cant get...

Has anyone used them and what are they like?

The reason they are called Off Road vehicles is because they spend more time off road in the dealers being fixed than they spend on road. :doh: Says the man who lives a short drive away from the factory(known to locals as the lazy acre) :devil:

Tough. That's the only good thing IMO. I'll stick to TomTom when I need directions.

In the respect of the inability to accept a full postcode and house number and the sheer amount of phaffing about to attempt to program where you want to go. Also the way it attempts to show directions on the poor excuse for a map. As I have said before its as much use a handbrake on a canoe.

It doesn't compete with a 10 year old TomTom. That's what I'm complaining about.
