Today's Fang around the wet roads in the country near Peats Ridge included a very nice 1978 Lincoln Continental - less than 30,000 miles on it and amazingly smooth and quiet - even if it did steer like I was driving a soggy breakfast cereal - the other was a 1954 Jaguar XK 140 with brand new...

Recently my 2007 CLK350 developed 2 issues. 1. The passenger side mirror would not drop down to view the gutter when reversing and would not fold into the car on parking. The fix? A new motor in the mirror housing. 2. The sunroom and windows should open or close in unison when depressing the...

The headlights on my ML are now looking a little jaded and faded - I know there is lots written about restoring polycarbonate headlight covers but has anyone here any actual experience of doing so? Does it work? Regards, Brian

They appeal to me as a solid and well-designed car; and very attractively styled in a heavy Germanic fashion. An S420 is normally very quick off the mark and just as quickly dives into the depths of your bank account.... If it felt slow then maybe not is as it should be? Regards, Brian Ps...

Certainly an interesting article Styria. Talking of great cars from Italy, I like this: 1967 Lamborghini 400GT 2+2. Regards, Brian

Yes but it ended up like this .....

Karen would need something faster than a Ponton. ;) Regards, Brian

Mr Ant. Is there a new car on the horizon? Regards, Brian

So did you end up with the car? Regards, Brian

I was out on a run today and a fellow with a BMW520i expressed some concern about how to repolish the anodised aluminium trim around all fours windows. The trim is watermarked and milky and it does not clean off. My advice was to make a claim under warranty. In my experience of a W116 the trim...

Good luck - I hope all goes well with both the car and Friday. :D Regards, Brian

I once bought Meguair's NXT Generation Tech Wax but it left the paint feeling hard and dry - a very strange product indeed. Meguiar's Mirror Glaze professional range is still very, very good - just remember it is no longer a family company; it's now part of 3M. Here are some comments on Malco...

I suspect Zymol and Swissvax are about on the same level. It's just that I have developed a fondness for Swissvax - none of its products has ever failed to do what I wanted it to do. You absolutely must use the Swisvax cleaner first - and preferably the clay bar. This makes for an interesting...

Well I did a test on the boot lid of the Spirit. One half was done in Meguiars Professional Yellow Wax and the other half in Swissvax. At the end both looked the same - however, a plastic jar would sit on the Meguiar's side but slide off the Swissvax side. After a month without being touched...
