Well, there I was cruising up the M40, car in front suddenly braked, I had to hit the anchors as well, and then my engine cut out, all the warning lights came on, lost power, steering - everything. Tried re-starting - but I got the "refer to handbook" message (bit of a problem really -...

I'm a cyclist (but not at the moment - the hernia repair has failed) so I was driving along a route I often cycle, where the road is quite narrow and there is a level crossing. I was stopped at the gates waiting for a couple of trains to cross, when I noticed two MAMIL'S cycle up to the front...

Cleaning the car the other day, found a piece of broken moulded plastic in the boot drainage channel. Turns out is was a plastic moulding, part of the Soft Top Compartment Offside Hinge. Researching on the net, one US MB forum stated that the plastic part is there to support the lid in an open...

Want to take my bike over to Spain - but still have the hood down - anyone know of a bike rack I can use that allows the hood up/down - I know I could fit a tow-bar (if I could source one at a reasonable price that is) but I'd rather have a boot mount! Ta

Hi Before I attack the car with a blunt instrument - any pointers to accessing the wiring duct in the passenger foot well - I want to get at the intermediate connector to install aux audio Thanks in advance John

Cleaning the interior of my 2006 CLK Cabriolet - noticed this: Any ideas - is it vinyl protective spray peeling?

The passenger vanity mirror in my 2006 CLK 200 (W209) cabriolet is cracked (must have looked too long!) It 's the electric one. Does anyone know if just the mirror can be replaced or is it a whole new visor?

Having deserted the MB fold (long and expensive story but involved a Jag) I'm now taking delivery of a 2006 W209 200CLK - it has Audio 20 but has not been pre-wired for a phone (i.e. there is no phone socket etc in the armrest!) I would like bluetooth! The options are I suppose - Parrot (but...

Say they are Merc specialists - anyone used them?

I was waiting to turn right across a two lane road. The inside lane being a bus-lane. The driver in the outside lane made room for me to turn - but an idiot in a car had decided to use the bus-lane at speed to undertake the line of traffic I just missed him - but who was at fault I...

I've got a 1999 C250TD sport - The car has now done 92,000 miles (40,000 by me in the last year) I'm considering a change - will going over the 100,000 make a significant difference in its value (or more to the point desirability)

When you, the dealer etc have done an oil change and have used the amount of oil as per the handbook - where should the level be on the dip-stick?

I'm toying with the idea of upgrading my Pioneer AVIC-X1 with a DAB tuner - is DAB any good in cars at the moment - it there sufficient coverage. I listen to 5-Live most of the time and a gain in clarity over the AM signal would be great! Thanks

This is a bit of a rant - I've had a bad morning so far! : :crazy: I seem to remember when I was taught to drive (many years ago) the adage "Mirror - Signal - Manouvre" was intilled into me both by my instructor and the public information films . Today many drivers still obey the MSM...

Given the first real frost of the winter, and I don't know if this question's been asked before - but does anyone know of an after-market kit that actually heats the jets (not the pipe)? Thanks in advance
