Newbie alert! :) My 2012 (212) E-class has a problem with the PARKTRONIC, the front end (usually just the driver's side, sometimes both sides) gives false positives. It started out as an intermittent problem, mainly in wet weather, but has gradually got worse and is now pretty much constant...

Economical with the truth? Ten myths about mpg figures | Top Gear My own experience says I never achieve the so called MPG figures, or anywhere near them. 16 mpg is good for me as I enjoy my car. I accept my driving style probably has an influence....but I bought it to enjoy. Neil

In March 2012, a lady at my place of work accused me of scratching her car. I left work on the Monday as usual, and upon entering a room on the Tuesday, she accused my colleague of hitting her car in the staff car-park, he went onto explain that he doesn't even own a car or drive and she then...

I'm toying with a daft idea that my garage needs an overhaul. It is a brick built pointy roof one but a little dust settles from the roof on to my car and i'm thinking that rather than the two light bulbs that are currently in the garage, I should have tubes to help me polish in the winter!!! I...

My 2003 W220 S500L seems to have developed a problem with the alarm, or maybe the boot catch, which is triggering the alarm. A couple of days ago I left the headlights on accidentally for an hour or so. This was after nearly a week of not running and it drained the battery just enough to...

I have had this through on an email a long time ago and it surfaced again today. So with the wealth of knowledge amongst forum members I though I would post it to find out if all or some of it is true or not. I do think the second point would be very useful, if true. 4 THINGS YOU...

After the other day I'm left wondering whether owning and driving a prestige car is not healthy for certain individuals. I was tootling along (70-75mph) the M18 the other day, traffic was busy, road conditions good, visability good. I was in the left lane, occasionally having to overtake...
