tale

I now remember why I can't remember when I last visited a Post Office, if you see what I mean. If you don't, then read on; you will. At lunchtime today I wasted 45 minutes of my life trying to do what should have been the simplest of things. All I needed to do was to buy two envelopes and...

Not tale, tail I meant.;) I've just washed my W212 saloon and after a short drive the back end of the car is filthy again. Seems as if the road dirt is being sucked up back onto the car as you drive. This has never happened to any other car I've had so wonder if it is the design of the car that...

I went through an Amber light this AM and apparently when I went over the line the light went red. A policeman appeared promptly in my mirror with blue lights blazing after a short whole. I had an idea what it was for....but didnt let on when he asked why was pulled over.... He said I crossed...

:doh:i was in Norfolk over the weekend, & came across a guy with a 55 plate C180 who'd locked his key in the boot, Mobilo's answer was, either phone home & get your wife to bring the spare key (from Northampton !) or break in. Then he fetched the AA out, & after many attempts, & much alarm...

Yesterday my E320CDI wouldn't start after coming out of the bodyshop where it had been for a couple of weeks for a new set of front wings and other stuff under the corrosion warranty. MobiloLife came out re-charged the battery, cleared the faults, and all seemed well. Drove away, and used the...

I have been 'following' a very highly specced CLS55 on sale at a main dealer on a 56 plate for a while. The UK list is about £84k. The asking price started at £73k, then reduced to £69k and is now at £65k. On investigation, it turns out: (a) the car was imported (by an import company...

I got a ticket today for parking on double yellow lines. Best bit, I had pulled car over to make a phone call, and had not even, a) tuned engine off b) got out of car (which I had no plan to).

A cautionary tale for the mechanically inept!: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/tm_objectid=15395698&method=full&siteid=50143&headline=mum-killed-by-car-she-hit-with-hammer-name_page.html

Well I have had a terrible last evening/morning Decided that I had to rotate the wheels front/back again as I an still on winter tyres. Shifted wheel bolts no trouble but could I get the wheels off? No. They were really stuck, especially the rears. The wheels had been refurbished (full...

A man is driving down an almost deserted road and breaks down near a monastery. Once he realises it will be impossible to get the car going he decides that it would be prudent to ask for some assistance so he goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, "My car has broken down. It is...

Approximately 6 months back I acquired some brand new 15" AMG Type 2 alloys (the genuine thing - MB logo and part nos stamped inside) off of eBay. The reasons I elected to stick with 15" wheels were; 1) I had renewed the tyres about 3 months beforehand therefore only 3-4,000 miles on them, and...

Just over a year ago my vehicle was written off by a 20 ton lorry driver attempting a u-turn on a dual carriageway. I have won the claim. Police gave lorry driver extra driver training ("prosecution too expensive") Useless :( Today I received the vehicle condition report commissioned by the...
