However, what was more appealing was the interior. Unfortunately, it seems as though only the older models attract the light coloured upholstery, and anything much newer seems to sport grey.dark grey and black - how disappointing. Anyway, I mustn't digress. You be the judge....

As most of you know, we have had absolutely perfect service from a Honda Jazz (Daisy) that Julie bought in March, 2016. So naturally, I have become more interested in some of the bigger Sedans/Hatchbacks such as the Accord (not Euro version - styling bland to say the least) or even the now...

Missed you my friend. Good to see you on TK. It probably has been a number of years. Regards Styria

Hi Peter, door handle posted yesterday afternoon by Express Post. I hope that it will do the job for you. Regards Styria

Hi Peter, I apologize for not having responded to you properly. Whilst I have been busy, I did forget to post the one I had retrieved originally - and to be perfectly honest, I have mislaid it. However, not all is lost - I have collected a replacement unit which I will post to you tomorrow -...

An expensive exercise, probably the norm from German, and possibly, other manufacturers. I am a subscriber to an overseas news and opinion cast, on all manner of subjects, by the name of Quora. Don't ask me how I became a subscriber, but all of a sudden it would appear in my Mailbox on a regular...

Well BenzBoy, after all this time, I hope it will turn out to be a good car for you. I paid $7500.00 for my 2007 Captiva back in September, 2015 with a mileage of a tick over 112K. kms. Presently it stands at 217,137 as at today's date. It has let me down once with a Fuel Pump issue (partially...

Generally speaking, you hope against hope that the washers themselves are in good and efficient working condition. If not, there is the second hand option, but nowadays spare parts from wreckers are inclined to dry out. It wouldn't be easy to adopt an after market alternative as space under...

I will bring members up to date with progress on new work on GB. As well, I am endeavouring to create an opening for the sale of a number of refurbished timber items. Regards Styria

Keeping thread afloat. Very interesting.

Hi Pete, I am sorry but I completely forgot. Yes, I have a good one - no worry in that regard. If I charged you $35.00 all up, would you be happy with that ? If you are, all I'll need will be your postal address. Regards Styria N.B. BTW, how are things in Port Augusta ? What is...

No, it was a mish mash of a particular colour that Jerry had on hand, and we just added a bit of black as we went along. I wanted to make sure that the two tone scheme wasn't too crass, but my thought centred around the area where the two colours were to be separated. Any different colour BELOW...

They called the Charcoal "Blue" - that's not a worry. I also believe that the Nippon Paint is of a cheaper variety than Dulux. BTW, Dulux has taken over, or have been taken over, as a result of Intercompany machinations. The guy did explain it all to me, but it sort of went over my head...

Okay, the paint is now reaching about 10-12 years of age, and I have been concerned with not having surplus paint on hand. The Petrol MB 877 I had saved had gone hard, but I managed to save it by mixing it with Thinners. The other colour, shall we call it Charcoal of sorts, mixed up by...

My 6.9 that I have owned since the mid '90s, was very capably resprayed by Jerry about ten years ago. The paint still looks good, the texture and feel are very smooth to the feel, all obviously helped by the fact that nowadays , and since then, the car has lived indoors. Many times I have...

I have only just come across this car that you have bought. Were you able to use any of the parts or, do you still have it ? Interesting choice on your part. Regards Styria

I have just looked at second hand prices for the Isuzu on Car Sales - my God, the figures are quite mind boggling. I am still shaking my head. Regards Styria

I would have chosen an Isuzu MU/X - Japanese made, bullet proof 6 cylinder Diesel Truck engine - from snippets that I have heard, out in the scrub the only ones to get, AND one sees in numbers, , are the Toyotas and Isuzus. Personally, just about most things from Volkswagen is fraught with...

I am a real stickler for Global Warming and Global emissions - for me, the solution is to replace petrol with water in the 6.9s fuel tank and off I go to the Wild West. On another tack - sorry to be somewhat flippant about the whole thing, i.e. Global Warming etc. etc. - my stock answer is...

Hey Mark, even after almost eight years, you have never spoken a truer word. MB just never got the message across that this as a very special Mercedes, namely the 6.9. Why couldn't they even fit the 15" Alloy Bundts ? Regards Styria
