Just watched it. I’ve watched a lot of his BMW stuff very entertaining. Will be interesting to see how he gets on with obtaining parts etc.

What shocking news. Sometimes life just isn’t fair. Maybe a good time to take time for yourself and family and have a really good think about your next venture. As Mrs. Simon1963 often says “ these things happen for a reason” I’m sure you’ll come out of it bigger and better. All the best for the...

Reading the stuff on the Mercedes forums it seems a common issue and a new tank with inbuilt sensors is required. Are you able to map the Adblue system out on your diagnostics even just to prove a point. I know if mine goes that way that’s what will be done.

Phil have a look on mbworld.org there’s lots on there about the sensors crystallising.

1972 Ford Escort 1300 XL in bronze with brown vinyl seats. The gear stick used to come off in my hand. Paid £325 for it. Traded it after a year for a 1969 MGB GT but that came to messy finish in a ditch.

My daughter has just got a new car and asked me to sell her 12 plate Citroen C1. I thought it’s a £600 motor. It’s got a few bumps and scuffs but has fsh. Took it to WBAC and got just over 2 grand for it. There’s certainly a market for these run around motors.

Good luck on your trip back. I do love a series 1, 2 and 3 XJ.

We collected him on Saturday. He’s a lovely little chap and is pretty good during the day already asks to go out for toilet duties. Night time not so good but it’s early days.

Depends wether you fancied repairing and painting panels or not?

Lovely bit of throttle to get away from the barrier.

It astonishes me that speed cameras pop up all over the place and yet running red traffic lights has become the norm around here which is far more dangerous than exceeding the speed limit by 10% in my opinion anyway. A lot of major junctions have cameras to monitor traffic flow so upgrading the...

It’s shocking really that Maserati have let this lack of protection go on for so long. Mind you it was the same with Alfa, I remember my Brera subframe crumbling away. Mercedes on the other hand have a similar problem on rear subframes particularly on the SLK but they’re rusting from the inside...

I used to use the ferry but now use the tunnel. As others have said it’s much quicker and more flexible. The terminals don’t like a big build up of cars so if you arrive early they offer you an earlier crossing. I’ve turned up in the past and driven straight through to the waiting lanes without...

I found that on mine as well.
