    How safe is a 23 year old spare tire?

    Remapping: safe limit for transmissions

    Does anyone happen to know what is the safe limit for torque for the autobox in a C207 (E350CDI)? I am considering a remap and I am told 750Nm is possible, which I do not doubt, but I want to satisfy myself it is well within the transmission's capability. The standard output is 620Nm...

    Rubber strap wrench - safe for oil filter canister?

    so my local chandler has one of those vacuum devices to suck oil out of the dipstick tube. I also note that they have a rubber strap wrench, this looks a bit kinder to the plastic filter canister than a chain wrench, has anyone used one of these? any thoughts?

    Two-tier road tax - is it safe?

    I am concerned that it will drive traffic away from the safer Motorways to the less-safe A and B roads. I have seen this happen in France and Italy where in some areas the toll roads are virtually empty and the local roads are packed with traffic (and accidents). What do you think?
