Hey guys, I've narrowed down a few things that I wanted to replace since I've heard that they are cheap and easy to DIY and also brings back some lost performance and prevents other issues. Currently my '99 C230K is running decent for a 151,000 mile car. A new transmission mount is being put...

We are in the process of buying a new car to replace my wife's Focus which has given us ten years of faithful service but is now past it. We have got a good deal on a new Kia Cee'd (OK, OK, I know they were cr4p in the past but the new model seems much under rated and good value) and as part of...

Hi All, I was given these wheels with a car I bought a while ago and I now need to clear some space in my garage, so they've got to go. I'm told they're off a CLK or SLK and it looks like they've been sprayed at some point (overspray on tyres and silver valves!). They've been done to an...

My 2007 W204 has Comand. It is obviously out of date, it only does 5 character postcodes, and that not very well. It doesn't have my 11 year old house in it. So, is it worth updating, will an update give 7 digit postcodes and up to date maps? If so, is it something I could do? I've heard that...

Having looked at tyres for my e280 (17"), a budget brand was about £85 per tyre and the next best thing was a Pirelli for £160. Is it really worth the extra cost seeing as I mostly drive on the motorway? ( the prices were from kwikfit)
