    Asda Car Park Fine?

    Recently I had the misfortune to use an Asda carpark. It was less than a quarter full and I parked in a far off corner. When I returned, there was a parking ticket for £60 (£30 if paid within a certain time) . My 'crime' apparently was I didn't park exactly within the designated box. While there...

    C250 Diesel (non turbo) starts fine, loses power

    My 1994, 5 cylinder diesel with 170,000 miles starts and idles fine. While driving though power surges up and down and I lose power going uphill. I don't think it is the engine (but what do I know) and as a shade tree mechanic would think fuel pump, blocked injectors, air (somehow) in the fuel...

    Parking fine WARNING (I'm about to pick a fight!)

    Metaphorically speaking of course. I haven’t been on this forum for ages but I thought I’d warn anyone who has picked up a parking fine from an unscrupulous car parking company recently to make sure that fight it rather than pay it! I was parking in a retail park next to Wembley Stadium...

    Fine taste in cars

    I noticed that a neighbour had all of his cars out this evening, and it got me thinking that he really has some fantastic cars. Now does he have fine taste in all things automotive, or is he a sucker for what motoring journalists write? Either way he has a fleet of cars that are current...

    How to deal with fine scratches?

    My 560SEL's paint is in remarkable mint shape... but that all changed after someone's good intention went bad when they took my car to an automated carwash. The brushes in the car wash caused TONS of tiny micro scratches in the clearcoat. The scratches are strangely only on the side body and not...
