That manages to look like a Renault 14 and a Volvo 343 at the same time. Jag goes for MOT next Wednesday. I have given it a few miles since it’s been back around the estate lanes and it feels keen. I do hope it passes as an uncharacteristic EML light came on the Merc dashboard yesterday and it ran a...

Thought Lynhnam was paying a visit when I saw the Roomster.

Sounded great, not sure I’d want to be seen driving it though… Woah! Got beckoned down to show them the guitars - monsieur Belmain no less!! That wou...

Does it have an alarm? That's a likely candidate. Also make sure the boot and glove box lights are off when shut. I b...

Is it feasible to fit a battery isolator switch or is that likely to cause more problems than it might solve? Hooli has the right solution. Use them or lose them!! I wouldn’t want to interfere with anything I didn’t have to on these! Just gives the fault finders another line on an invoice when the ...

You’re right, my typo! 096 is what most of the databases suggest. In one of the fields on screens in battery places the engine size correctly says 5993 but has (6) after it. Wanna see (12)!!! I had 096 for a few years - got through 4 on a Halfords guarantee! Let’s see how the 019 does with the natur...
