    Tyres

    I wonder how many people are taken in by some of the tyre sales websites that claim to offer genuine discounts? I fitted Continental Contisportcontact SUV (MO) to the ML at $300 each fitted and balanced. Checking on a well known tyre sales site I see they are claimed to be discounted at $473...

    The new ML

    And the RINSE water after I had shampooed the headlining with the little wet vac. The water that came from the big wet vac I used on the carpets could be used as top soil for the garden....

    The new ML

    Oh - I think you may have missed them. Damn - I have been using it and now it is filty dirty and I guess you want me to clean it for photos? Oh boy; life is hard... it still has to have some panel and paint correction. Let me see what I can do. Regards, Brian

    MG Hybrids?

    The only experience I have of the current MG is that of a close friend who bought an MG EV. It stopped while on the school run at the beginning of May and was towed to the dealer. The anticipated return date is early April due to the backlog of warranty claims. No loan vehicle is available...

    My W126 380SE

    I have always thought the W140 was the most imposing car made by MB but I have always been wary of the servicing and repair costs. I would dearly love one but frankly, I don't believe I have the money or the space to do justice to one. Regards, Brian

    S211

    Hmm -my secret is out. I have to agree though, the ML320 CDI is not a patch on my E 250 CDI Estate. Then neither comes close to the 306 GTi6 for sheer driving fun but there is no room in that for a top hat...

    Suggestions for a daily replacement

    There are some really nice Cayennes around at reasonable price but unless you find one that has full Prsche service history the repair costs can be eye-watering. The same applies to Benz ML and GL models. The diesel versions often need the O rings replaced between the oil cooler (which is water...

    Removing tint

    It was $200 to remove the tint from all windows including the rear and sunroom. The ML has dark privacy glass in the rear and some idiot had put a darker than legal tint over the top of that so rear and side visibility was non-existant. It took 1 man 2.5 hours to remove the tint and clean all...

    Removing tint

    I used Tint a Car West Ryde and they successfully removed the tint from the ML without damaging the demister strips. I chose them because they used a steamer rather than a heat gun. Th result is what I wanted. The ML already has privacy glass to the rear windows and then the PO had fitted a...
