• 2006 Mercedes CLK 200 Kompressor Cabrio - High days and holidays car, a report 5 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  It has something of that well-engineered feel that the Mk1 TT had and I think we must have got the facelifted version that came in after Mercedes sorted the rust problems that so badly affected their early 2000's cars as there's not a trace of it. Jeez, that was a long post!

• Skoda Yeti - Skoda Yeti - my thoughts on 10K miles / 1 year 1 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  I then had the Bolero (radio) flashed by the main dealer in order to address the "slow SD card read" issue - this made a huge difference. The overall average mpg was in the low 30's (70% Urban / 30% Mway). The best MPG was just over 40 mpg and the worst well into the 20's. The car was exceptionally quiet at high speed. I came to the Yeti from a "proper" Lexus and didn't in any way feel short changed in the refinement department.

  I hope you can give me some advice. I've never been attracted to 4x4s, but living in Scotland and having two severe winters in a row has persuaded me that...

• VW MOT Con 29 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  The dealer however 'needed' to know within 5-10mins, and as my girlfriend was in such a panic and not being able to get a hold of me she told them to go ahead if the box was indeed in need of replacement. The work she was told, would be completed by Wednesday night. s**s law though, I called her as soon as she put the phone down and was taken aback by the cost of the work. I contacted the dealer and asked why the box needed replaced and why exactly the bracker could not be repaired or replaced.

• Renault - RAC breakdown. Not a good idea 1 Jun 2025 (Forum)
  I arranged my own recovery at a fraction of the RAC quote and got the vehicle back home. I noticed the N/S/F splash guard had been removed and placed in back of vehicle so went to put it back on. This is when I noticed the Earth strap the Patrol man had fitted was insecure and a terrible fix. I addressed this and hey presto all the lights and the wipers worked.
