Hi,
I've currently got an e class 280 estate. When I bought the car I was motoring about 20'000 miles per year. I'm now only going about 10'000 at a push. I'm wanting to downsize but struggling to find a nice car as my new pride and joy.... Read more
Keep the E class if you like the drive and its reliable. Any change in vehicle doing less miles than you are doing isnt going to save you money due to depreciation. I have a customer at my garage who runs a 300TE (1990 model W124 he's had from new) with 250K on the clock as a daily driver and he loves it.
If you like the car stick a private plate on it forget the 180 day rule for a "new car" and enjoy it (180 days is how long a car is new for)...
When I turn on my ignition I get a airbag fault coming up on the dash and the airbag warning light stays on I've been told it's a common fault how can it be fixed Read more
You need a diagnostic check first, preferably with the LEXIA equipment. That will tell you which part of the airbag system is faulty.
The usual suspect are the wires under the seats, but no point spending time or money looking here if its something else, like the driver's airbag....
Hi, everyone.
Next week I'm changing my car and want to take out RTI cover.... Read more
Like all insurance its not until you claim that you experience the possible downsides.
A friend's car was written off last July. Within a week his insurance company offered market value based on the cost of the car at a main dealer. Ideal as the dealer would hold the car.
Colleague had called the GAP company and they spent the next 5 MONTHS arguing market value with his insurance company. The car he wanted was sold, he had no car so had to buy something to tide him over, sort insurance on that car etc, he also had to continue to pay the loan on the car which was written off.
The amount being argued over was £500. It would have been less hassle for him to pay this!
After a very cold night in the open (-9) malfunction light came on steady and wont go off,the left side door locks also froze up but this should have ng on the malfunction indicator.jfb Read more

I highly recommend FreeRadioUnlocking. I've used there website on a few occassions to get radio codes for my vehicles (usually I get the code for my radio and keep it in my car, even if I never run into problems with a locked radio, it's there just in case) It's a free service so worth a try, I've never used it for unlocking Nissan radios but It's worked on 2 of my Hondas and my Chevrolet.
Hi all. I'm after a bit of advice so please be gentle with me.
Yesterday I took my wies car to work to give it a 'blast' on the motorway.... Read more
Hello Razzy, it looks like you have to take your proof to court. In which case it may pay you get a decent solicitor who knows about magistrates court procedure. I had a similar thing with Northampton Police, despite me sending them proof against the charges they just kept stonewalling and sending me standard letters, not addressing the issue.
Could be the same with you. Thick staff in the back office who either don't understand or don't want to understand. I took my paperwork to court on the day, got there early and collared the legal clerk to the court. He agreed with me my case was sound. He took the paperwork, agreed it with the CPS solicitor, but I still had to go into court. A no case to answer was submitted and I was discharged. All a rigmarole but unfortunately this is our system. Get your paperwork put together, check it carefully for holes, and go and defend yourself. You can ask for costs, but unlikely to be awarded any....
Fewer, not less.
You can count claims, they don't come in quantities, but in numbers. Read more

I am a coach driver and i have received a letter from the police sayinng i had been reported for leaving the scene of an accident and careless driving, on the day in question i was indicating to turn right onto another road, i initially stopped due to traffic coming towrds me, i had a clear view of the the road i was turning into and could see it was clear of any traffic , a car flashed me to allow me to turn into the rd wich was still clear, about 20 yards up that rd was a left hand bend, as i initiated the turn a car appeared the front end of my coach was into that road the car kept coming towards me, at which time i stopped i was obstructing the junction to that rd also the rear of the coach was obstucting the rd i was exiting, the car was preventing me to move any further, the passenger of the car was ranting and raving telling me to reverse back out that was not an option, eventually the driver of the car reversed back, the way he reversed gave me the impression he could not drive he was weaving all over when reversing back, this allowed me to move forward or so i thought this driver decided to drive forward again preventing me from moving forward any further, the car then squeezed past me so i carried on to the coach park which was on this rd, when i got out of my coach to open the coach park gate, these two guys appeared behind me, the passenger got out of the car shouting foul and abusive language to me calling me names then saying i had hit the car, i replied if their is any damage on the coach it was the driver who caused it, then i invited this guy to inspect my coach for any damage which their was none not even the slightest of scrapes looking at the damage on the car which was the rear wheel arch it would have been impossible for me to have struck the car without causing significant damage to the car (the damage to the car was only slight) and the coach, this guy declined to look at the coach and when i said i would call the police he got back into the car their drove off, i parked the coach in the coach park and sat there for an hour fear they may come back, rather than walk i got a taxi to my hotel, why i didnt call the police was beyond me i know that i should have done so, the coach was displaying in the window the hotel i was staying at, this happened on the Saturday the coach was in that coach park until 10 o'clock Sun then parked back in there at 1 o'clock sunday afternoon until 9 monday morning which was the day of our return, i received the first letter on the 29th oct 14 which i responded to saying i was the driver, i then received a second letter to produce my documents on the 11th Nov 14 i done that immediatley, from then until 21st of January 15 i received a letter asking me to complete a statement concerning the so called collision, at the bottom of the letter it says -: i do not wish to complete the attached statement concerning the above mentioned collision and underneath that i did not witness the collision, it says its important to send either the completed statement or the prior mentioned section as soon as possible could you please advise me yours sincerley Ron Read more
Initial thoughts after deciphering the post is that either there had been an accident or there may be an ‘Asian whiplash scam’ event where a false report is made for monetary gain but I see no mention of injury....

Yes, you can fit the higher load rating tyre.
Do note that the tyres might be a little bit louder in use, as they will probably have a slightly stiffer sidewall. However, this is likely to be marginal.
