Hi all, first time poster - please be gentle with me. Problem is a noise coming from the front of the car when driving, not while stationary under revs. Sounds like something is rubbing/vibrating/grinding. Only heard above 20mph. I have had the car on an inspection ramp and can't find...

My new toy, c230 sport estate Komp, has a bad habit of stuttering badly when the gas pedal is pressed firmly. I don't just mean the carpet denting foot slammed to the floor type firmly either. When driven gently and with gradually increasing pedal pressure its fine and responsive, but very...

I drove our W202 230k over the weekend and was reminded what a fantastic car it is to drive, i don't drive it that much as i have the van and the XJ6, despite the cars 147000 miles it still feels really tight, if you know what i mean? Performance from the supercharged motor is effortless...
