morning

Not a happy bunny this morning! Opened the boot, put my bag in etc went to close the lid and it sprung back up, tried again, same thing happened. Could not get the boot to shut. The very same thing happened when I first got the car and apparently it was down the the latch freezing. By the...

Just joined the site this morning as I'm doing my homework for my next MB purchase. I've had W124's in the past, the last one being a 300CE, so I know the Mercs of that era pretty well. I'm now after a good, early R129 500SL. Ideally a pre-airbag and pre-cat one with the M119. In a previous...

Just joined up yesterday so thought I'd say hello. Seems like a pretty good forum here all in all. Usually spend far too much time posting on Pistonheads, so good to have yet more distractions. Currently pootling around in Subaru Outback (highly recommended by the way) and a Mini Cooper S...

Never trust the photos in a car ad! Went to see THIS E320 cdi this morning after being in contact with the owner via phone & text. I was assured twice that it was in great condition apart from the odd stone chip etc. I even emailed THIS photo to her to 100% confirm there was no rust, and again...

Minding my own business, sound of thunder comes up behind me and this F40 tucks in behind me obviously spotted the black nondescript 5 series in front of me . Gradually creeps past us allowing me to have a good ole shufty. Decides that the 5 series is not a copper and absolutely floors it, 20...

Been directed here by one of your exiled BMW members! Seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Hopefully the car will be too! I'm currently driving a 2010 Alpina D3 Biturbo. I'm looking for something with some more space and practicality, while not wanting to go too big. Top of the...

well, the other half wrote off her polo:doh: so i gave her my passat and bought a 2001 clk 320:rock: hello to you all.

Beautiful morning early on Friday, the old girl was clean and I had a camera in the car, so...

Advice required on the best route to take as I have the joy of trying to drive to Bulford from Colchester on Monday morning to take my son to his new barracks by 12 midday. According to the RAC A12, M25 North, M3 (which takes me past Heathrow) is the shortest/quickest) by 5 miles but I'm always...

Hi all, My 2007 C180k has developed a fault were first thing in the mornings (especially when cold) when I first start the car the brake pedal is extremely hard to push, only when the engine has been running for 10-15 seconds am I able to push the pedal easily. The brakes work fine after this...

So after it's last visit to the dealer the week before last, tomorrow morning my dealer is under instructions collect my car and not bring it back until it's right. i am getting sick and tired of returning my car to the dealer to fix yet another set of squeaks and rattles that were not there...

When I start my 98' C200 up first thing on a morning, the pedal is hard and near the floor, only after revving the engine and pumping the brake will I get a decent feel, the flexi hoses are new and there are no leaks, the master cylinder upto the max mark too. I'm guessing it's a problem with...

I had to nip into work this morning, and on my way home I noticed a Kia 'whatever' was travelling very close behind me. I gave a little sqeeze on the loud pedal to enlarge the gap, but the muppet behind thought I was encouraging him. I had my son in the car so I wasn't going to bite. We then...

I counted about 5 cars with one headlight and about 4 more with fog lights on (no fog) :doh: Muppets are out there and breeding..

hi guys recently noticed in these winter months that my car sounds quite rough first thing in the morning, slightly underpowered and goes as soon as its up to temperature. any ideas? 2005 clk 200kompressor

Test driving an SLS 63 AMG and a SL63 AMG. :rock: Courtesty of Greenoaks. :bannana: I'm not sure my pockets are deep enough for either but wow! Maybe one day.

Thought I'd share this with you. Mon 0700 central Scotland. In only five minutes it had turned to this... Then it was gone.

Hi, Someone ran into the back of me this mronig. We done all the usual swapping details etc. There only seems to be a few minor scratches on my car, when his bumper was dislodged and a cracked grill. Do you think its worthwhile getting anyone to have a look at, ie could them be any underlying...
