I had an ML320 W163 and we just loved it as a family car, bought it for a camping trip when we "realised" the wife's Mini Clubman S and my CLK350 didn't really have the load carrying capacity we needed :-). I got the car up to a standard that we were happy with, we used it all the time and...

And I still looked too deep into it! Brilliant. Every day's a school day.

I was wondering how you could tell the difference in the headlight glass from those pics to know that it doesn't have Xenons in it and then I realised... The halogen lamps have level adjusters by the switch. Mine doesn't have PDC, I'd like to retro-fit it just to have a more complete options...

what is the consensus on this one? It looks pretty cheap to me, the mileage is attractive and I expect that the gearbox could be viewed as a positive (although I don't think these things react quickly enough to really make any difference). No Sunroof surprised me a little, I just assumed they...

Links are tricky. Linky linky...

Lots of this sort of thing happening to all makes. Lacquered plastic panels are a nightmare. It seems ok if they are painted panels such as bumpers etc. where they are primed and painted but these roof panels seem to just have a clearcoat over the base colour plastic and it won't key as well...

One more, check the time that it goes off. This used to be an old trick that I fell foul of, the alarm goes off every night until you leave it off and then the next day, there is a hole where your window used to be or worse, a gap where your car was. It's amazing how it never goes off during...

Those would be absolutely perfect and I remember having them back in the day but although I have searched, I can't seem to find anything like them any more. Any web search just returns the rubbish suction cup stuff that you see in all car windscreens now. If you would sell those, I would be...

Can any of you part number gurus assist me please? I want one of these to mount my car phone to in my C43 S202 for that authentic 90's look. Obviously I'm not going to drill the dash and I can't find anything else that will work properly but I'm open to suggestions. The part number for this...

iPhones! I love them and use Apple stuff for everything outside of work BUT I do keep them for a fair while, this week I replaced my faithful XS Max that I've been using for over 4 years now and you will all be familiar with the story if you use iPhones (and I dare say the same for Android)...

I've started a nostalgia thread here - quite pleased with that! I had the Nokia Orange as my first phone, it was their version of the 2110 (I think it was a 2140 as Orange ran on 1800Mhz whereas all the others were something like 900Mhz. I say all the others, it was Cellnet and Vodafone...

A lot did yes. My car already had a hole put in the roof for a phone antenna at a guess, the aerial was there when I got the car but not connected to anything so I replaced it with a decent DAB one that I already had. I have digital quality adverts if I want them!

AMAZING! I am stupidly grinning at that! HAHAHA!

If it's there, great, if not, never mind, The phones were analogue and there generally wasn't a SIM as such, it was somehow programmed internally but not something a user could change, I'm certain it can't be anything more than a prop these days.

Mate, that would be awesome, I hope it's still there. The worst part is that for years I moved my dad's really lovely Panasonic EB unit around his garage as he refused to throw it out until I finally got fed up with it and threw it myself. I regret that now! All of the buttons lit up in a...
