  • Misfuel prevention in Dragons Den 27 Oct 2010 (Forum)
    If you have watched Dragons' Den yesterday evening, you must have seen the last guy who came with the invention of a device which can be fitted retrospectively in any diesel cars and will make filling up diesel car with petrol an impossibility.

  • What price a main dealer service? 19 Nov 2008 (Forum)

  • E class wheel bearing £260 repair bill ? 23 Jun 2007 (Forum)
    My sister in law's 2001 E class Mercedes needs a new wheel bearing and she has been quoted £260. Surely this is unreasonable? Any views? Also, I've done wheel bearings on several old BMC and Ford cars in the old days. Are modern ones such as this any different ? Could I do it myself? Any opinion
