    C107's 300TE

    Automatic Gearbox Additive

    Styria, I had a diesel Captiva as a company car, and like you I enjoyed it. The diesel was a non turbo, and a little sluggish, but was ultra reliable, and extremely good on fuel. Like your pics showed, the storage was quite amazing. I did nearly 200,000 in that Captiva, and it never missed a...

    A great introduction to your terrific new car. Very little to do that’s for sure. Looking forward to seeing these jobs completed, and turning this car into another family favourite. I have an answer for you regarding the early part of your car’s life. I have a lot of mates that have worked...

    That is excellent news. I think the $2000 is money very well spent for peace of mind and enjoyment of what is a beautiful car that had a niggling issue. Great result.

    [JT] Assembling the Rover P5 and P5B

    This is fantastic Bryce. Always love seeing old production line images. To me these places always looked dull and gloomy with not much light, as the flash used by the photographer seems to really light up the place.

    Sydney to South Australia in our W126

    A terrific story James, and amazing photos. Your 420 SEL looks truely stunning, what a beautiful car, and knowing it did some real hard driving at its age and speedo reading is a wonderful testament to you, and how the car has been maintained, and the cars engineering. Well done.

    How to Change Your Coolant

    You’re spot on Mark. Plus other basic maintenance items are also neglected to the point of failure. It seems way past most modern people’s interest to even think of these things. Cars now to the modern family are simply a disposable appliance these days.
