I don’t brake for anything other than UFO’s... ;)
Costco fuel is what I normally partake of as it’s cheap and good.

And here's me thinking BP is better quality :rolleyes: Morrison's here I come..................

After 3 years of totally trouble free motoring, CL decided to throw a total wobbler on the motorway. Abs light, limp mode and EML. I suspect a couple of wheel sensors required.

Clean up milk that I was taking to work in an insulated cup on the passenger seat (in my snap-on lunch bag... (They don’t make their stuff like they used to...) :(

When I was in the Vehicle Contract Hire business we had an Astra returned that had had a bottle of milk spilled in it. Unfortunately as it goes off the smell just gets stronger and stronger. I assume there are products available that will neutralise it now but you need to do a proper job of cleaning it out or it will reek :(

It wasn‘t a great deal and it was cleared and disinfected straight away.
I can also open the roof if it gets too bad... :p ;)

Realised why my seat belt is damp, the roof bar fixing at the front has a gap around it from my daft attempt to carry big things on my roof came a cropper.

E350 CDi AMG Night Premium Plus (Sept 2015) with GAD Tuning re-map. Definitely not double badged.
Took the E55 out for a good run, got it all up to temperature and made sure it all worked, put some more of Shell’s finest in it, then just got a bit carried away. View attachment 67230
£80 later and home for lunch...

Today, I considered booking my overdue 9G-tronic gearbox service. Then the central heating failed and the garage informed me that my wife's A3 was due a cambelt change. Expensive month.

Gearchanges are really feeling lumpy now. Is that a symptom of old oil or do they mess about in the software to try to convince you to give another kidney to the local MB dealer? Probably best if I take this question to the correct thread.
