My R Class has been 'resting' for a while and I went to give it a jump start today as I knew the battery was flat, but I couldn't even get the doors to unlock so that I could pop the bonnet. I use the blade key inside the key fob and although it turned correctly, the locks still didn't pop up...

Thought I'd share my recent experience and see if anyone has any suggestions.... Trying to buy a new E300 Coupe on behalf of a friend. Having established that there are none in stock at dealers, we went before Christmas to MB Croydon. 'Hello, we'd like to buy a new E300 Coupe please'. Answer...

For a while now, when starting from cold, the engine turns over fine, but doesn't start for about 8-10 seconds, followed by a small cloud of dark exhaust fumes at the back. It hasn't got worse (or better), but starts fine when warmed up. Batteries are fairly new. Any ideas what the...

Bentley Continental Flying Spur in Mulliner spec, 2006. 550bhp and 0-60 in 4.9 secs. Spent a lot of time looking for the right car, weighing up the pros and cons of an old-ish W12 6.0 litre car versus a newer S class, but in the end the overall looks, luxury and power won me over. Did I do...

Anyone on here have one of these? They are supposed to plug into the iPod connection and via BT, stream music from your iPhone etc. I got one and although I can establish a BT connection between my iPhone and the Tune2Air, my audio system flashes up my iPhone for less than a second and goes...

In Toronto this week and saw this outside the hotel - looks almost identical to a C Class - even more than the pictures suggest - suprised there is no rules against such copies...

I keep getting the 'Top up coolant' message come up, usually when first starting from cold. Obviously I have checked the coolant level and it is full up. Question - could it be just a fault sensor, or could there be something more sinister? Thanks for any advice... Tim

Due to replace my Continental Contact Sport 265/45/20 for my R Class, I did the usual web reseach on prices and wasn't finding anything less then about £250 per corner, most of them closer to £300+ Then I remembered I had the receipt for the existing set that I got a cracking deal on about...

I have finally decided to sell my 18" 10 spoke alloys that came with my R Class and that I replaced with 20" alloys a while back. They are in good condition with only a couple of very light scuffs and tyres are all road legal. This is a set of four wheels and tyres. Open to offers please!

Cost of bonnet star replacment? After less than a week of owning his new E class, my mate had his bonnet star removed last night. Anyone know what it costs to replace a bonnet star at a dealers? Thanks Tim (I did do a search, couldn't find anything about cost)

My wing mirrors fold automatically when I lock the car. In the last couple of days, the driver's side mirror folds OK, but seems to keep trying to close a bit more and clicks a couple of times. Is there any way to adjust/reset them? Any ideas why this might have started happening for no...

Kanye believe it? Hip hop star cruises to Elton John's charity bash in $1.7m Mercedes sports car | Mail Online

Could kick myself, collected two quite expensive suits yesterday and after a late night at work, took a London Taxi home - except that whilst I got into the cab with two suits, I stupidly got out without them and by the time I realised, the cab had long gone. So cross with myself for being so...

Saw these two at the hotel I am staying at in Singapore. That red paint is a seriously expensive option, not sure I would chose that colour ...and I have just realised the number plate is well suited as well

This caught my eye as it seemed ridiculously expensive, then I saw the low mileage, and then I saw the 5 owners. This would take some serious convincing that a car with 5 owners has only covered 38k miles - either it's a mistake or the car must be such a dog that every new owner offloads it...

I know for most of you, changing the oil and filter in your car is about as straight forward as it gets. However, for someone like me, the only time I ever lift the bonnet is to fill the windscreen fluid up. :doh: This is not because I don't want to do more, but more through a lack of...

In the last couple of weeks, I have noticed a strange 'whirring' sound coming from the centre top of the engine bay, just below the windscreen. It lasts for about 10 seconds and then stops and then starts again periodically. It sounds almost like an electrical motor adjusting something...
