  1. Greetings, Men! To follow up on my previous comment, does anybody have any advice on maintaining the dark open-pore wood used in E-class vehicles? Once again, I appreciate it. AL
  2. According to the implication of the topic's name, I'm looking for suggestions for a detailer in the Stockport/Manchester/Peak District region, so please share your thoughts.
  3. Rereading the article, it seems months have passed and the path has become rather chilly. Never mind, now that the kids are walking, they should be quieter!
  4. There is too much cheap insurance out there that isn't good enough.
  5. Do the sump and the pipes exhibit signs of impact or internal failure? The obvious explanation is that you broke the crankshaft by stomping on the brakes while the engine was running.
  6. Regarding the same subject. Has anybody ever tried to change the radio's LCD, or is it even possible to solder a new one in? My LCD has a visible through-line. I am aware that I can install a head from a different manufacturer, but I like the radio that came with the car.
  7. Sticky? No. The FAQ is not particularly difficult to navigate, is it? Wide bodies first became available between the middle and end of 1989. In the mid-1990s, they became standard issue from the manufacturer... I believe... therefore, you can obtain a 1990 wide body. It will have a fixed arch (unless later bodywork has been installed) and either an Escort diff in a Westfield casing or a "normal" live axle rear end. However, it is unknown when Sierra diffs were first introduced.
  8. Hello there, I'm new here, so I'm not sure where to write this, so please excuse me if it's irrelevant. I was driving around a roundabout last night when I struck the curb with my driver's side tyre. I was probably travelling 15 to 20 miles per hour. I noticed an instant change in the steering. Then a 'wheel alignment alert showed up' on the dashboard. The only visible damage from the exterior was a scrape on the metal. Anyway, long story short, I drove it to BMW, and a few hours later they called to tell me that the repairs they'd have to do would cost a whooping £9000! As you could expect, my jaw dropped out my ***. Track rods, upper/lower arms, steering knuckle, hub & bearing, shock absorber spring, steering rack, and a new wheel were all noted as components that needed to be replaced. I mean, all from slamming into a curb???? Obviously, they are not lying, yet I am taken aback. Last July, I paid £27,000 for this automobile. I phoned my insurance company, and they indicated they'd pay it, but now they're stating they could go the 'total loss' way. Do you think I should challenge this? It's a 69 plate, series 3 m sport, just so you know.
  9. Probably a DDE upgrade and EGR and cooler recall. Tell them to ignore the software for the cooler.
