Yes, I've decided to get my windows tinted. Obviously having a black CLS it'll look somewhat pimpish. But I'm fed up sitting in a greenhouse, and listening to the kids whinging it's too bright. I know aftermarket tint leaves a border, but the side windows will look good, as they have no window...

Hello, So on previous cars I did not have sat nav built in so had my trusty tom tom which warned me of speed cameras when I ventured out of the local area. After just one day of having the merc I got nicked as command does not show cameras! What's the best device out there? Can i have...

So how does every one do it? Driving home today in slow dual carriageway traffic ... a numpty in a van was so far up my backside he may as well have been in the back seat! In that sort of traffic there's no where to go. Gets right on my wick!

Some of what follows has been discussed in a technical thread. This narrative brings the story up to date with a further development and asks the question: what do you do when an M-B authorised repairer turns out to be a nightmare and there's no easy alternative? The car in question is a 2003...

I live in Camberley and enter the London bound M3 at J3. Due to road widening schemes its 50mph average speed checks all the way to J2 which is the M25 junction. This week and last week I have seen the recent aftermath of 2 incidents involving multiple vehicles. The one last night had all 3...

Nipped up to the Petrol Station to put 1/2 a tank in the X5 (£75&!) As I came out of the shop I noticed a ford Ka behind my car, with in turn a Mondeo attempting to pass the Ka. Unfortunately it was at such an angle that the attempt was doomed, and the nearside of the mondeo struck the Ka...

After my success with the deep scatch on my TT I decided to see if I could improve the appearance of some bad scratches on the 450. These ones are worse than the one on the TT, they are right through the clearcoat to the basecoat so no chance to completely remove them. Here we go, these are...

8 days ago, I ordered a new laptop from sonystyle .. premium priced, but I liked the keyboard and the fact you could get it in white. today, they called on the office line and said: 1. they have cancelled my order 2. they had been trying to call me on my mobile -- they have not (they...

It looks like Hoodless Brennan are ending their execution-only online trading service on 10th July. I moved from Halifax Share Dealing about a year ago as they were utter rubbish and paid through the nose to move my shares to HB. As HB were one of the cheapest on the market, that's a bit of a...

With all these auction listings appearing I'm curious to how many cars can you buy/sell in a year before you're classed as a dealer? I'm not particularly interested in making a living doing this, I have far too much on my mind keeping the current business running in this economic climate...

Here you go Regards John
