Hi there, since my idle problem a few months ago, i've set myself to clean the throttle body every 4-6 months. This time when i took off the air inlet crossover which lead to the throttle body i've noticed some oil in the housing, is this normal.

Today when I called the local dealer, they've introduced a new scam of charging £28.50 for the use of a loan car. Of course, I also have to provide insurance and fuel. Is this unusal, or are all the dealers doing thing? I could fill a book with rants about (most) Merc dealers (but won't...

Wonder if any of you good folks have experience with this. Every service, John Griffiths sticks a litre of synth top-up oil in the boot. Normally i will top up and get through a litre in about 6,000 miles or so. My engine is the 2.8 litre straight six, 24 valve. Is this a normal sort...

My father has just bought my mothers ex company car, but has changed the standard Mercedes Cassette player, to a normal CD headunit. However, we now appear to have 2 wires left over (marked amp) and there is no switched ignition that we can find. I've not had chance to look at it properly, as he...

Dear All I have a 2002 C200k SE auto elegance sal with Xenons. I have been complaining of a loud grating noise that can be heard from within the car, only present when the engine and weather is cold. The grating noise is like pulling a shower hose through a metal ring - a rachet grating...
