I have suffered the same problem this last summer, including going on holiday to Brittany, where it occasionally got embarrassing when the old tank (S204) decided to go into Morris Minor mode! Long story short....CHECK YOUR VACUUM RUBBER PIPES.....the problem was traced to a rubber 'Y' joining...

Google it or eBay where I got mine, not expensive and does the job fine. Tony

My S204 acts the same once the outside air temperature is around 0c. first thing in the morning. It is a pain in the ar**! But I worked around the problem by reversing into the garage so that it drives out forward (more like launches) and . drive the 20 yards or so to the road, modulating the...

It is hopefully the idler pulley bearing. Tony

The last Michelins I fitted to my 'Munich airport taxi' (which will be the last ones I buy for this car) appeared to be half worn when new, and proved not to be good value, the rears wore out in 9,000 miles and the fronts in 18,000. Not good value. Tony

Someone has the other key..............that would seriously worry me. Tony

Not too much to worry about, aviation personnel have been running their Diesel cars on Jet A1 Kerosene mixed with Diesel since time immemorial. You can also use a kerosene mix in your petrol powered car, but its a bit smokey and smells.....plus you upset the Police and HMRC. Tony

I have done it on my S204 where they are not covered. Tony

Replacing the gas struts is a COMPLETE doddle, can be done in five minutes, all you need is a small screwdriver to dislodge the spring clip on the ball and socket end fittings. Tony

All engine's sound sweeter after an oil change....Fact. Tony

I purchased two new struts for £25 from a parts dealer in Germany, Google the struts. Tony

Read your handbook! On my S204 you just use the buttons on the steering wheel. Tony

I had the message remain on after replacing the bulbs.....cancel the message manually. Tony

I'm sad enough to use nice brass valve caps painted yellow.......they make my 'Munich Taxi' go like the corporate jet that they were fitted to, in their first life. Tony

Compounded by driving at least 20mph too fast for the road conditions, with a fixed glazed expression on their face. Tony
