Very nice indeed, but my neck’s broken now

No idea why it does that, wouldn't let me rotate them either

I see no problem

Looks fine (now)

G3 Sealing Juice update - officially quite impressed.

Throwing it down here now, and given that I didn't fully prep the bodywork, it's beading like a nun with extra beady things!!! (Although that's a very different video selection...)

Got the 13 yr old original Mercedes number plate holders off ( with a bit of a struggle ) and fitted new iridium silver ones.
Much tidier now.

how much were you over , I done the awareness course on 23 December to avoid the points. But I was only 35 in a 30.

Took out the boot gas struts on my e320 estate for no reason whatsoever as sgs engineering didn't have the ones I needed in stock even though they SELL them. Not the same as mine unfortunately. Needed one out to give them the particular part number. Had to put them back in again as the boot weighs about ten tonnes. Nightmare job all in all. Never again. Never.

Propping the boot lid open with a lump of wood makes the job a lot easier. I found a broom handle between the tailgate and bumper is almost ideal.

I did use a piece of wood. Amazed it took the strain. Have you carried out this joyous task?

cruise on at 84 on the M62 motorway , I braked down to 77 so I guess its touch and go wether I got zapped or not pal , my license would have been clean in June too which is a bit of a bugger , just have to see if anything lands on my door mat in the next few days

Touch and go- your cruise and speedo are probably over reading and you were more like 82/81 so with a braking you might be ok - depends which part of the 62..

Yes on a 210 estate tailgate and the hatch on s Smart Roadster.

yes John , a good number of forces allow 3mph + 10% so fingers crossed this was one of them , it was around the Ferrybridge area , few miles from the A1 intersection

I know it well, when the variables are off folks get a bit giddy which is why I think they sighted that camera there...

Get into the habit of using your cruise control in all speed limited roads where possible like I do, saves a lot of grief !!
