My Beloved E320CDI W211 has been sitting for 18 months, looking sorry for itself. I want to get it back on the road but it need some work. It's a high mileage car, that's need a full service, new battery's, a bit of tidying up of the body work and I want new springs and shock (front springs...

Just taxed my C63 for the year, £505! Shocking considering the state of the roads... Anyways, Car was taxed till May by previous owner but DVLA want me to pay for apr and may as well... I bought the car on apr 9th... Does this sound right or should I avoid paying it? Don't want to...

I'm thinking of getting the 1 hour on road and 1 hour off road experiences for my soon to be 15 year olds birthday, anybody got any experience (no pun intended) of these?

We are off to the US for three weeks, quite a few friends in Colorado but also spending some time in Utah. Flying in & out via Denver and the plan is essentially a long loop very roughly as follows: Denver Gunnison Telluride Silverton Durango Moab Grand Junction New...

I am really p!55ed off at this latest action by the DVLA to reduce costs by making the new Driving Licence paperless. The move which has allegedly been well publicised although I hadn't heard of it is going to cause chaos and disappointment to quite a few holiday makers who need to hire a car...

So this is one crazy driver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVsfCNm12dw

Having a discussion last evening over a few beers regarding the Which Report on actual consumption figures compared to manufacturers claimed figures. Needless to say claimed figures are slightly exaggerated. So, if actual fuel consumption figures are true, would this mean that the CO emissions...

Well, mine went just fine until handing the thing back. I had a E Class on straight lease for two years, used a broker as they were and astonishing £80pcm less than MB franchises. Amusingly the car was supplied by MB Wolverhampton and financed directly by MBUK.... go figure. Car faultless...

I have a 2014 w207 and would like the sat nav to show the roads speed limit. Is this possible to add or is it already in the sat nav but needs me to get it onto the screen? Thanks for any info. Pete

As above- One of the gotchas on a E300 I bought. It's not a suction mount as the seller claimed but is glued....to a leather dash. Any wisdom about how I remove it without leaving a scar - of even whether I can remove it without leaving a scar. Google suggests veg oil in a dam to contain the...

55 went in for a big service recently. Not had a chance to get it on the road since. What a big service. What an awesome thing. It feels a lot more than 476bhp when the taps are fully open... I am astonished by how fast it is. How much of a sleeper it is, and how bloody expense a massive...

I wasn't aware of this: 2005 Kleemann E-Class Is the Only Mercedes Allroad Estate - autoevolution

Evening all, During the week leading up to MB on the Green I'm doing abit of a road trip down to Worthersee in Austria. Plan looks something like this I currently have a 190d and whilst I do 700 trouble free miles a week in it and I'm sure it do make the trip unphased, I'm after something...

Hi All I have booked my car in for a session at Surrey Rolling Road in March, purely to see what kind of power it's currently outputting. Has anyone done this before? I never had, and am nervous my car might suffer as a result! Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi all, Been given a 95n e220 coupe by the wife's uncle. It's a non starter but I fully intend to get it back on the road.. Just run in at 115k but it's only done 3k in the last 7 years! Been standing for a year so it's going to be a bit of a project. Will need 2 wings and the laquer is...

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. After years of focusing UK road safety on what can be easily measured automatically (i.e. speed) instead of what's important (driver quality, education, training, engineering, etc.) we seem to be hitting the buffers. We've got "Twenty's Plenty" and "Speed Kills...

I Guys, I'm a new member to the club so this is my first post. I recently bought my car and love it to bits! It had really bad cheap tyres on it so thought the road noise I was hearing was caused by said tyres. I had a set of Pirelli's fitted and the noise is still in my opinion unacceptable...
