the filter is supposed to be hand tight isnt it? Over tighten it and is a nightmare to get off.
on the side of the box it will tell you how many turns to make, don't over tighten it!!!
when it comes to renewals talk to the club insurance scheme, I saved over £100 for my GS430

Mention the club and they will do their best to beat a quote
I swapped mine for PIAA ones. Dont have the blade though, but made no different at high speeds
I have about 8 Sets of PIAA wiper blades at home.. PM me if you would like a set.
Hi
The engine should kick around 25mph so it seems it may want to charge the battery.
Also on the motorway you will get around 34mpg. So 26 on city driving is not too bad. Is that the current MPG or the AVG tank MPG?
Best thing you can do is go to your dealer and get the battery tested for peace of mind and while its still in warranty!
I had one fitted and bypassed the factory one on another car, i had a guy come round and fit it for £99
Shop around locally.
Dont get the key ring chip where you press it in for a few secs... its annoying. There are better options out there.
Eibach Lowering Spring good place to start for springs
