driving

I was returning from Aylesbury via M40 yesterday and was overtaken by what appeared to be a camouflaged - white with black swirls all over it - sports car but what? :dk: Went past me like a rocket and just caught BJ 63 ?? on the number plate. Spoiler up on the rear but no other distinguishing...

Sooo...my daily driver is a C63 with the overnight snow I thought best to leave it at home and borrow my dads x5. Long story short it was absolutely sh!te on an icy bit of road. I appreciate nothing works well on ice but I'm talking about it veering off the road the minute I came off the brake...

Hi everyone, I’m in a desperate need for some help. In a nutshell: the new starter motor kicks back in and starts running while driving the van! I stop the van, turn the ignition off, take the key out and it’s still running. I have to disconnect the battery lead to stop the starter motor...

We've seen the lazy and the selfish who clear their windows of snow but leave the upper surfaces piled high. This is a salutary lesson why leaving lots of space between you and that person who does the bare minimum is a good thing. Don't know if this has been posted before...

Hey guys was wondering if someone could help me please, Recently picked up my ML270 from the garage had the copper seals on the injectors changed and when i was waiting at the traffic lights i noticed that my Parking Break light was going on and off and is kind of annoying because when moving...

If I try revving the engine whilst standing still it will not rev above 2300 -2500 rpm without trying to cut out, when I'm driving there's not a single problem with it, idling is smooth and when on the road I can floor it and doesn't miss a beat no loss of power, any ideas anyone?

Hello folks, I recently got my new W205 C300 hybrid, I used to have a C250 AMG. The new car is a lot more techy and I'd like to know how to EASILY turn off the big multifunction central display. I've managed to do it through certain display pages but it’s very fiddly, it also starts up again...

Hi all, hopefully somebody can point me in right direction. Today while driving m ML270, it cut out- no warning lights just cut out. Now it did this the other day after i put some inj cleaner in it, but it started straight away then and drove another 150 miles. Anyway its got plenty of fuel...

I found this forum as I'm looking for some advise on a problem with my car alarm. Everytime i lock my car and walk away, i come back to the hazard lights flashing and a whilisting noise (which is now very faint). I have checked everything, no doors or boot/bonet open, the windows have rolled...

Morning chaps, Took my CLK across to Italy and on the way to Genoa there are some super winding roads in the hills. Slipped the car into manual change mode and gave it some through the tunnels. As I came out I realised there was loads of billowing white/grey smoke coming out of the exhaust. I...

Talk about Sunday driving :devil:. https://www.facebook.com/carthrottle/videos/1109222362422146/?__mref=message_bubble Sh!t grille BTW.

I'm doing motorway mileage two to three times a week and not fussed at what speed I travel during this commute so wondered what is the actual optimum speed for good fuel economy. E320 petrol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has any one any experience of getting caught speeding over 100mph on the motorway? Likely penalty/ban for driving in access of 100mph on the motorway? I got pulled over by an unmarked X5 on the M6 speeding. Issued with a traffic offense report. :confused::doh:

Hi, Having owned 4x4s for the last 6yrs and now acquired a rear wheel drive Merc I was wondering what the best options are! Do I go for a set of winter tyres,get a cheap runaround.etc Don't really want to park it up for the winter as I enjoy driving it so much but also would like to keep it in...

Driving down the M3 today to Southampton, delightful roadworks, delightful weather and i'm passed by a merc C class coupe (last model version), 10 mins later it's being driven on the inside lane 15 mph slower. My hunch the driver is making a phone call, as I drive past yes he is, phone held to...

I want to fit these on the front spoiler but to what would I connect them so that they are on when the ignition is on without causing any problems?

Hi again all. I am about to mount two extra driving lights (Hi beam) to my -05 S211 and I am wondering if there are a suitable place in the fusebox or elsewhere to tap the signal to trigger the relay? Or do I need to tap into the hi beam wire as we have always done? Seems a little old...

I was reading the manual for the car the other week and it mentioned that the driving mode should only be switched when stationary! Is there any truth to this? It would be ridiculous if this was true. I certainly didn't stop when changing the driving modes prior to reading this in the manual.

Inspired by a post by WDB124066 where he suggested 'Radar Love' as one of the great driving tunes, I thought about some of mine. I watched this film in 1971. This clip and the song pretty much sums up everything I love about riding/driving. I am Billy. Wsb5NvjQWMk Spring 1974 or '75...

As the spec of my new C63S Estate is soon to be frozen I am still trying to decide whether to include the Driving Assistance Package. I normally steer clear of this level of electronic nannying but really appreciate the intelligent cruise control on my Audi in the London traffic jams. My...
