Took delivery of this gadget today. Seems ideal for keeping an eye on the battery in general. Got it as the school run and loads of small stop start journeys did not seem to agree with the battery. Not much of a car expert so anything that helps me is welcome...

Suspect squealing coming from engine bay, found out it was coming from the alternator belt. Took a closer look at the belt and the teeth to grip the wheel had worn out took another closer look to find it had been replaced with a made in japan version, hence why it didn't last too long! So I...

Hi, My CLK lost about 1.5 litres of oil in 2k miles. I found the alternator was dripping wih oil. After a lot of searching I have tracked down the oil leak to a plastic plug on right hand side of the engine block, just behind the alternator and and below the power steering pump. Does any one...
