How do you describe someone who drives an S class? They're not all company directors on 100K a year. I should not be driving an S class. I think a Vauxhall Vectra or a Ford Mondeo would suit my means more. I don't have the money to throw at any repair. I don't want to damage it further by...

HI. the turbo in my 2002 W220 gave up the ghost the other day. When I put my foot down it accelerated well as normal, then there was a splutter and a cloud of grey/brown (not black) smoke out the back and now it's not working. I still drives ok. The lack of turbo is noticeable but the engine...

I've never known a car to get frozen up like this one. I don't know why but as soon as it gets frosty all my windows and roof are frozen solid and I cannot open them. When it's cold I like to drive with the window open for a bit until the engine warms up so my breath doesn't steam up the...

I've never owned a brand new car. It looks nice. Does that whole strip on the boot light up when you brake?

What is the "green key" for that the dealer uses for this?

I don't think they have learnt anything but I shall never buy from them again so I'll never know :) I won't be contacting the Tribune again. It is a pity really but I just want to put it all behind me now and look forward. It's nice to be looking through my star again as I drive.

Unfortunately that is beyond my control. There is only a limited time to edit posts. :)

What colour is it? Does it not have COMAND? I think the S have terrific road presence. You don't need to drive it fast to get a buzz.

I was thinking of going to MB World shortly I might try and get some photos of it outside there :)

I only started driving in November 1994 and since then I have had 13 cars so I probably get bored easily. Although like someone previously said they get a buzz out of changing a car. I hope I don't get bored too quickly in this one. I shouldn't do as it has everything I want in a car.

Yes that is the reason. :) I have just returned from the dealer with my car. The original faults are now rectified and as far as I can tell no other faults are there. It seems odd to see the door mirrors flash when I press the lock button. The mileage is about what I would expect for a couple...

Well they could do a slightly different story "4 months to complete a 60 minute job!" Either way the facts remain the same.

I have to go and get my photo taken tomorrow by the newspaper :) I phoned MB Tamworth today to confirm "rumours" that my car is actually booked in for the EIS job. It IS and the MB service manager says it's only a simple job and the car will be done tomorrow morning and fixed by the afternoon...

After driving one for hundreds of miles on the XBOX I quite fancy driving a real Saleen S7 Twin Turbo.

I can't understand why people take things so seriously. I work in a printing company and if he'd have said all printers are gay I would just laugh. I wouldn't phone up the BBC. He obviously hit a nerve :)
