You're probably right It is shiny and it does have JCW on it. I could call my dealer but by the time they worked out the cost, I would be tooo old to drive.

Oi!

Oh wisest of Oracles,
How do you put from your mind thoughts of going on a good fang through long and twisty roads, when you really should be concentrating on getting on with your days work?

With lots of difficulty - especially given I'm just starting a report that is supposed to take me 4 to 5 months to finish Motivation is not an easy thing to come by at the best of times but the prospect of 5 months of the equivalent of eating dry weetbix is really not helping me concentrate.

I think by now with all the trips back to get it fixed I would have thought that the problem would be obvious . It's clearly possessed. I think the only course of action left for you is an exorcism. In the mean time, if your worried about the sound, you could try running a tank of diesel every third fill up – this will take attention away from the problems your experiencing with the aircon.

Hi,

While I was at Peak Performance this afternoon picking up my car, the mechanics were working on a merc C class that someone had filled up with diesel It was blowing a lot of white smoke, and not running particularily well

Cheers

What do you mean I gave bad advice

I believe that diesel is really good for your catalytic converter too
