    Bog standard 190

    Here she is. Rescued from Ebay and in need of some TLC. She's had new innards in the clutch master cylinder, new fluids all through and a bit of polish. Needs new exhaust, rear discs and steering damper. Could do with new plugs but I'm afraid to pull the plug caps. I've tried, half...

    'Broadband Hero' gets his fat pipe

    Sattelite Braodband We use sattelite technology here at work to connect to the net. However, the speed of upload/download is dependent on the number online at any one time. Sometimes it's good other times it's poor to diabolical. Still, being in a rural location, I can look out of the window...

    Good taste in cars...I think my ex may be a gypsy!

    Not just the low income guys. Hi. A neighbour has just purchased an ML for 18 grand. The interior looks like a stable, and every corner has a scrape. There are enough dings and scrapes on the body keep Dentmaster busy for weeks and it only does 18MPG rural. He could have bought a brand new...

    Off topic (Bigtime!) - Job required

    Degrees and all that You know guys? There's a lot of hype about getting a university education and now having to pay for it, £9K over 3 years. The carrot? Better salary when you qualify. The rub? Can't get a job 'cos you've got no experience. The truth? With A level technology...

    Petrol prices set to rise again.

    It's a bloody cheek. Used our taxes to wage war on a military minnow then allows the price of fuel to rise so that he gets more taxes. I call that adding insult to injury.

    I've got two garden ponds containing a variety of goldfish and mirror carp. Haven't gone for Koi yet but I'm tempted to try a couple of ghosts. I'd post a picture if I knew how.

    Intake Air Temperature sensor add 20 bhp

    If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is!!! MB spend millions on research and development to make their vehicles as good as possible, so five quid on a resistor sounds TGTBT-hence £5 resistor=£100's of pounds cat = £100's pounds out of pocket. If you want the extra oomph just put...

    MOT: Failed!

    Will The milky edge does not mean the screen is delaminating, it's just that the edge of the glass has been sitting in water and has absorbed moisture thus changing the chemical composition of the PVB and rendering that portion opaque. It's more likely that the windscreen surround will become...

    MOT: Failed!

    Stone chips versus cracks. Sorry guys but here goes again. If you look carefully at the pics, and very good pics they are, you will see a crack running along the length of the bottom of the screen. It is long cracks, where the integrity of the glass is compromised, that the Motty Inspector has...
