    Tired of cheap crates breaking – anyone know a good supplier near Ajman?

    I bought some plastic storage crates from a shop in Ajman last year thinking I was being smart, but half of them have cracked corners already and one literally split open when I tried to move it with some books inside, so now I’m on the hunt for something properly made. A friend mentioned that...

    Bentley Continental ride has gone from magic carpet to wooden cart, anyone found a shop that does the shocks without the full dealer theatrics?

    I honestly didn't realize how bad it had gotten until my mother in law was in the back seat last week and she actually asked me if I'd changed the tyres to something "sportier" because she could feel every single crack in the asphalt on the way to Dubai Hills and I had to pretend I knew what she...

    Wrangler died in my driveway after a desert run and I'm pretty sure the heat finally killed the battery, anyone used a mobile guy who knows Jeeps?

    Took the JK out to Al Qudra last weekend for a bit of light dune bashing nothing crazy just letting some air out and enjoying the sunset and the thing ran like a champ the whole time but I go to start it this morning to head to work and it just cranks once really slowly and then the dashboard...

    Lexus IS-F in Mussafah, do I really need an inspection on a "bulletproof" Japanese car or is that just throwing money away?

    Found a 2012 IS-F that's been listed for a couple weeks at a smaller dealer near the industrial area and I went to take a look yesterday and it fired right up with that intoxicating Yamaha tuned V8 rumble which almost made me want to ignore the little voice in my head telling me to be sensible...

    Anyone in Abu Dhabi actually detail a Seat properly or is it all just Land Cruisers and Patrols?

    Got myself a used Leon Cupra a few months back and mechanically it's been a riot but the paint is looking a bit sad up close with the usual swirl marks from what I'm guessing were years of petrol station car wash brushes before I rescued it and I'd really like to get it polished up properly and...

    Service light came on right after an oil change, anyone know a place that'll just reset the thing without the lecture?

    So I drove out to Abu Dhabi last weekend to visit family and literally the morning after I had just done a full oil change at my usual spot in Al Quoz the service reminder light decides to start glowing on the dash like I've been neglecting the car for years, and I know it's just a matter of...

    My Golf's front end is clunking like a broken shopping cart, any VW specialists in Dubai that won't just guess at it?

    Took my 2016 Golf R out for a spin last night after not driving it for a couple weeks and the front passenger side is making this awful hollow clunking sound every time I go over even the smallest speed hump or a rough patch of tarmac, and it's gotten to the point where I'm actually avoiding...
