I'm spending the holidays redoing the bathroom... One of the things I need to throw out is the cast iron bath tub... problem is, being made of cast iron, it's insanely heavy. Along with 3 other friends, we managed to move it out... problem is, now I don't know what to do with it. I've...

One of the few ePetitions worth a damn and whilst it might not stop it wholly, certainly going to put a crimp in the pernicious trade. "Due to a significant rise in value, metal has become a much sought after commodity. This increased demand has resulted in a sharp rise in metal theft...

Hi, I'm seriously considering an E320 CDI Estate, but it's got high mileage. The price makes up for it. I'm buying it to tow my caravan and the intention is to go into and across Europe. It's been a company vehicle and has been serviced regularly and had a recent service - I'm told. He also...

I ask because a couple of months ago I left an old freezer on my drive and it disappeared after a couple of days and before I'd rung the council to ask them to collect it. Tonight it was the turn of a dishwasher which was there for an hour before two blokes pulled up outside and kindly...

Hi all the continuing saga relating to my w124 e300d continues. Replaced head gasket 5k miles ago, also checked oil cooler all seemed ok at the time but now I again seem to be getting a rise in my oil level, seemingly due to coolant migration.
