As the title says, looking for someone to fit some new plugs to the CLS63. Bought OEM Merc plugs as I was going to fit them myself this weekend - fitted one but unable to pull the 2nd coilpack out (too scared to pull too hard, break it and have it stuck on my drive!). I'd take it to Merc but...

Anyone had a recent B1 service done on an E class Coupe? done a search online and all about 4 years old. Main dealer quoting £530 (£90 of which is brake fluid change) seems a bit steep, but then come to expect that. Also looking for good Indi in Oxfordshire area. Thanks

Just wanted to share that my guitar playing son is playing the 100 Club Oxford Street London next Tuesday, as a guest lead guitarist. I've posted about him many times on here, so won't cover old ground, but we're super proud that he's playing such a prestigious venue at just 21. Check out...

An outbreak of common sense at last? This was the front page article in the Oxford Mail last night, in which it transpires that average speeds have reduced by 1.3mph in the 20mph zones while KSI numbers have actually risen. I particularly liked the the Thames Valley Police spokesman's comment

Howdy - quick last minute question; does anyone know what the rules governing motorbike parking in Oxford are? I know in certain boroughs of London I can happily park in a pay&display for free (e.g. Hillingdon) but is this the case in Oxford? If not, does anyone know of parking around/near...
