    The new ML

    Good illustration, and pertinent description, Patrick. From information gleaned in various Rover publications, particularly relating to mechanical development issues, the effective working life on the Rover 3 litre's first gear was sixty hours. Tractor terminology I say. Regards Styria

    Wrong, on SO many levels!

    Have our most revered gentlemen moved on from this ? I suspect that things have changed greatly. No more Trabbies no more ? Regards Styria N.B. Those were TK's infant days.

    The new ML

    Very clean and tidy, and a credit to your efforts. The interior colour scheme ? Simply magnificent. It would indeed be a pleasure to drive this car, and basking in the interior colour scheme. Great purchase. Regards Styria

    The new ML

    In years gone by. one of my Rover P5 3 litre Coupes did not have synchromesh on first gear - come to think of it, none of the P4s I have owned, such as Rover 90 (my very first car I ever owned), nor my 1959 - 105, as well as a number of Rover 100s (1960-1962) had no synchromesh on first. You...

    Car of the week

    What impressed me with the car, apart from the quite beautiful cream coloured interior, were some of the standard features that came on the car way back then .....e.g. Heated front leather seats, electrically adjusted. Sunroof - slide and rearward opening...

    Car of the week

    I could have bought the car there and then, but on a test drive familiar to my area, it did not take long to discover a front suspension/bushes rumble that Ultra Tune had overlooked the previous day when they prepared a Blue Slip. The owner had no idea and as I really had no firm intentions to...

    Car of the week

    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....

    Car of the week

    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...

    W116SEL door handle

    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 -...

    SLK complications

    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...

    The new ML

    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...

    Washer pump removal on 6.9

    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...
