I've run a few Jeep Grand Cherokee V8s over the past 15 years or so and they have been a really good fit for my needs. First, it needs to be able to tow a car trailer with rally car on it. A high towing capacity is therefore a requirement. Also a right bugger that the C63 isn't type approved...

I need to replace my CLS's climate control panel. I have a new (secondhand) part and need to fit it. How do I remove the centre console trim to get at it? I have seen videos showing how to access/remove the headunit, but nothing lower down. Does the thin leather section below the heated seats...

A bit of background.... I took my car in for an MOT a few weeks backs (w203 - 2004 plate), knowing that the wiper switches on the stalk had broken and that it would need a replacement stalk, the workshop suggested given that it's done 160k to test it to fail and fix what fails, miraculously the...
