Yes I'd have thought a MB independent at the least[if there's one locally]if not the full on main dealer.But a Ford dealer? Still it takes all sorts I suppose!

General Car Chat / Could get expensive

« on: 12 May 2017, 19:07:01 »

A mate of mine drives for a local main dealer fetching customers cars in and returning them after servicing etc.Today he collected a '02 plate E class Mercedes with a Kompressor engine.This car has lived its life tucked up in its garage when not in use and has covered 17,500mls from new,he had to jump start it to fetch it in.he says it seems to be in good nick and is very comfy however in the near 10mile drive to the dealership it would not change up out of first!Lady owner wants it back fully serviced and minted up which is fair enough but it's the local Ford dealership she's booked it into! What could possibly go wrong

Forgot to mention I believe one or two on here are using aftermarket gaskets on their cars and last I knew were reporting no leaks.

Checking cam covers is I think easy enough.If they've "warped" due to over tightening-or is it age/heat that does it?-then they tend to "bow"outwards along their length,so all you need is a straight edge[a 12"inch ruler or similar]to check how true they are.That's what I did when I found mine  were out of true.

Sadly with the ever increasing amount of traffic and it seems to me peoples ever decreasing patience/road manners such things are more prevalent these days where ever you go.Does go to show the possible consequences of confronting someone breaking the law/taking the law into your own hands.

Peel and cut into chunks potatoes,do same with turnip or swede.Boil in lightly salted water until soft,drain and add some milk,butter/margarine and an egg and then mash it all together.

« on: 09 May 2017, 19:10:12 »

On my way to/from work I walk past a chapel that's been converted to a house.The "front"door is set back from the pavement in a small porch.On the outer wall at the porch entrance is a nameplate which reads
The Old Chapel
98 Rowland Road
But when you look at the door itself[which appears original to the building there is a plate screwed to the door with the number on it,and that number is.........3

Chin[s?]up the pair of you.Take what you can from the positives and run with those.Prepare for any negatives of course but concentrate on those positives and it makes any negatives "easier"to cope with.All the best
