    Ways to save money on fuel??

    With prices fuel prices pushing 130p already and looking at 140p by April, filling the fuel tank is becoming less and less amusing. So the question is, how can you save money on fuel - can you tune for economy, can turn your supercharger off, turbo charger off, can you switch a couple of...

    Clever MB electrics save me from stupidity

    I went for my first decent run in the CL500 this weekend, across the country to darkest East Yorkshire. Amused to see the trip computer range increasing on the motorway, I saw that earlier this year when I went to Goodwood with a friend in his 7 series Beemer, its as if you are making fuel...

    Do Fog Lamps Save Lives?

    As per the title really. Are there statistics anywhere that supports the mandatory installation of rear fog lamps? I'm pretty sure that they have been a waste of effort! More of a nuisance on the road rather than a safety aid...

    Auto S or W? Idea to save fuel?

    Since fuel is getting so dear, I wonder why I changed from my 40mpg Audi 2.5 to a 30 mpg E300TD! Well, the Audi has a high mileage (I added 120000 over 6 years AND I suspect the previous owner clocked it VERY cleverly - it just feels old). I believe 30 mpg is good for this car, especially...

    Squealing brakes can save your life

    I had a bit of brake squeal, so I thought I would clean up the pads and put a bit of grease on the calipers. Look what I found when I got the front wheel off! I dread to think what could have happened if it blew at speed. Any thought about what caused this? The suspension seems OK...
