Renault servicing is now much cheaper, for those in the know. Thanks to European legislation, you no longer have to be tied to high Renault service costs, dictated by your local dealer.
In October 2003 new European legislation affecting the motor industry came into force called "Block Exemption Regulation" 14002002 (BER), and this now means that you can book your next Renault van service online and save up to 50% on what you might pay at your local Renault dealer.
Before the law changed it was difficult to have new vans within their warranty period serviced outside a franchised dealer. If you wanted to shop around for the best prices on Renault van servicing, your hands were tied. The change in the law now gives every van owner the freedom to service their van away from the main dealers, and still have their warranty protected.
Thousands of Renault van owners have now taken advantage of their new right and reduced their Renault serving costs, whilst benefiting from the convenience of booking with national van service providers such as Service A Van.

Companies like Service A Van, who fulfil the warranty criteria when servicing your Renault, are able to maintain your service book, just as main dealer can – thereby protecting your warranty and helping you to maximise the resale value of your Renault van.

Mercedes Glk: Sport/utility With a Purpose
Mercedes took advantage of being the last automaker to show their new vehicles on Wednesday’s Press Day, by wrapping three of them in Christmas presents and unveiling them one by one.
The first, and the most important gift was the official introduction of the Mercedes GLK, the automaker’s all-new, small sport/utility vehicle. Handsome, with chiseled lines and a boxy look, the GLK may seem out of place during these days of avoiding all things SUV. Mercedes indicated as much, but stressed that the GLK is the perfect transition vehicle from the big SUV that their competitors sell (think Cadillac Escalade) to something that is smaller and more responsible.
The 2010 Mercedes GLK will begin to arrive in dealer showrooms this December, but become available to customers in January. Offered in both two and four wheel drive, the base two wheel model will retail for $33,900 while the 4MATIC version will start at $35,900. Mercedes said that when these prices were announced to their dealer group, everyone broke out in applause. In better days, price wouldn’t have mattered, but those days have since passed by and dealers know that customers are looking for value.
Mercedes has stressed that the GLK is not a smaller version of the GL rather that the vehicle is an original design sitting on its own platform. The GLK seats five passengers who benefit from its three-point inertia-reel seatbelt technology which includes electronically controlled belt tensioners that tighten up in the split second before an accident occurs.
Side impact airbags are standard, essentially a curtain that descends between the A and C pillars to protect front and rear passengers. Anti-lock brakes, brake assist, adaptive braking, electronic stability control, and traction control is standard on every GLK model.
Inside, Mercedes added the usual luxury touches to the GLK and some sensible ones too. The top of the dashboard is black, which reduces glare, while the rest of the dash, center stack and glove box are of the interior color chosen by the customer. Air vents and controls blend into the upper part of the dash as does the instrument panel.
center stack holds controls for the climate and audio systems as well as control for other systems including the heated seats. MP3 connectivity is found inside of the glove box where a power socket and plug is located. A 7 inch display, what Mercedes calls COMAND navigation, features a map of all of North America with turning instructions included when called upon for directions.
Under the hood, it is V6 power only for the GLK. A 24 valve 3.5L V6 engine that produces 268 horsepower with 258 lb.-feet of torque is paired with Mercedes’ seven-speed automatic transmission. Together, these components provide exceptional power and just the right fuel economy for a vehicle in its class.
I liked the looks of the GLK and can see where it’ll give Acura, Lexus, Infiniti, BMW, and Volvo a run for its money. As far as the other two gifts go, they were limited production cars including a $299,000 AMG model that will see only 350 produced in 2009. As for me, I’d go with the GLK if I was looking for an entry level luxury sport/utility vehicle something Mercedes hopes car buyers will do in abundance in 2009.

Review of Wrangler Jeeps
Wrangler Jeeps have been manufactured since the late 1980’s in a number of different models. Popular models of Wrangler Jeeps for sale include the YJ as well as the TJ. The Wrangler Jeeps are the only light-duty vehicles offered in North America with solid axles front and rear. These axles are known for their durability due to their overall strength and lack of rubber boots to get torn on twigs and rocks. All Jeep Wranglers come standard with 4 wheel drive. The Wrangler Jeeps are also the only utility vehicle that has a removable top and doors.
The Wrangler YJ was manufactured from 1987 until 1995. These Wrangler Jeeps came with two distinct body styles: one was created as a two door convertible and the second vehicle was actually a two-door truck variant. These Wrangler Jeeps were manufactured with a broad wheel base, a lower ground clearance and the interior provided drivers and passengers with as much comfort as possible. Over 685,000 YJ Wrangler Jeeps were created before their production ceased. YJ Wranglers also came with a number of different kinds of trim including a base trim, the Laredo trim, Islander trim, Sport trim, Sahara trim, Renegade trim, and the Rio Grande.
Next in line for Wrangler Jeeps is the TJ Jeep created from 1996 until 2006. Like its predecessor, the TJ was made with two distinct body styles: the two door truck and two door convertible. The vehicles were offered with a variety of different motors as well as different transmissions. Improvements were made in the manufacturing of the TJ which caused the vehicle to deliver far better on the road handling and a more comfortable ride as well. In the year 1999, the TJ Wrangler Jeeps manufactured came with bigger fuel tanks in addition to safety seat tethers and a rebuilt dashboard was introduced three years later. The TJ Wrangler was available in several trims including the base trim, X trim, Sport trim, Sahara trim, and the Rubicon.
The JK Wrangler Jeeps have been produced since 2007 and are still being manufactured today. This model is offered in four different body styles including the two-door, and four door convertible as well as the two-door, and the four door truck. All of the latter vehicles are produced with a 3.8 Liter V6 engine and the vehicle is sold with a choice of automatic or manual transmissions. The JK Wrangler is currently offered with several different trims including the X, the Sahara, the Rubicon, and the Unlimited trims.
I hope with the above review of you would feel now much more comfortable buying the New and used Jeeps wrangler now.
