I’m looking to update my estate car with either a newer E class, or a CLS Shooting Brake, and I’d love a bit of an insight into engine choices please. I think it will be between the 250 and 350 cdi engines, but my concerns are about nox sensors and adblue systems, which I"ve been told are...

My spare key unlocks and turns over the engine on my 08 SL500, but it doesn’t deactivate the immobiliser, so it fires, farts and falters, basically! The car is currently at the main dealer for an mot (yesterday, passed), and I asked them if they could re-synch it for me. Apparently, the way to...

I have a few infrequently used Sonos bits, which I added to today. I thought I'd play a few music tracks from my phone after installation, to find out that you can no longer do this. Fuming! I remember a few years ago when they were going to brick older equipment, but gave way to public...

Lazurite blue, 6 seats. Two keys, handbooks in wallet etc. Fitted towbar. Very clean, straight and tidy car, with a few minor, age related stone chips here and there at the front. There is a thumbnail sized dimple on the osr door. One of the previous owners ( I am the 7th ) was an AMG fan, so...

If anyone has one, complete, genuine star/badge assembly for an 06 E class 211,

Does anyone know of a good alternative from AMG for a set of front pads on a pre facelift 2018 A45 please? Asking for a young cousin

A fiend of mine had one of his work vans mot'd last year via a third party workshop, who does his regular servicing and maintenance. After trying to tax the vehicle it has become apparent that the mot testing station issued the certificate with the incorrect reg number, so the van is showing as...

Has anyone ever converted an earlier M119 engine with distributor caps to an electronic ignition system? Dizzy caps seem to be a weakness of these engines and I woud have thought it would be a worthwhile job, assuming it’s do-able, but I’ve never seen it mentioned before?

I’m reluctant to put E10 petrol into my little used 94 E320, which leaves 97/98 grade E5 fuel as my only choice, and I only ever use 95 octane. I once used 98 Ron with very poor running issues and the main dealer said this was the cause of the problem as they were designed to run on 95, so I’ve...

Received this message today having been told item was despatched yesterday "We need identification document to issue invoice, we are in a hurry." It's a £200 car accessory. What would they need that they can't get from my ebay user account?

I’m hoping someone here may have had a bit of experience on the 2.4l Ford Duratorq diesel engine that could offer a bit of help please? There was quite a range of vehicles that had them fitted, and in this case it’s a 2004 TX2 London taxi. A friend of mine who lives in California owns a few of...

My brother in law is selling his pampered 2004 BMW Z4 3.0 manual, 83,600 miles. He's a fastidious owner and his new car has just arrived, a week sooner than expected. Please pm me if interested and I'll put you in touch. Car is located in the Ely area of Cambridgeshire. LINK

Hi all, I'd appreciate a bit of knowledge please, relating to potential known (ignition module?) faults. My '08 M273 engined SL500 (40k miles) has hardly been used over the last 6 months, and I used it yesterday for the first time since the beginning of January. Whilst the battery isn't good at...

I bought a gearbox as a spare for my war chest for my E320 cabriolet a number of years ago. I bought it from a seller with 100% feedback, and if memory serves it came from a 94 E320 with about 80 odd thousand miles, described as being in perfect working order from a write off. It went straight...

I replaced the starter (rear) battery (genuine MB) at the end of December, followed by a 200 mile journey. Car was mot’d a few weeks later, then not used for about 3 to 4 weeks. The battery had become flat at this point, no central locking, ignition lights, nothing. I connected the booster to...

I’ve recently bought a Sonos Beam to go with the two older Sonos 1 speakers I had, but it turns out that Sonos has adopted Microsoft’s policy of out dating its own products. Unfortunately I’m away from home, otherwise I’d return it within the 30 day period. Worth considering if you are thinking...

I've fairly recently moved into a property with dimmable, recessed lights in the living room and the light switch has three touch sensitive buttons. The switch is out of sight in a recessed part of the living room. It turns out that two different types of Sky remote (Sky+ and Sky Q, which I...

Any advice or recommendations please? I have a friend in California who needs a set of 4 175xR16C tyres, and he is no longer able to find a supplier in the US, which seems odd, as they can't be unique to one vehicle, which in his case is a TX2 taxi. @alabbasi, as you're there would you be able...

I’m sure most of us are familiar with the likes of Alexa, the spy in the house, but have you thought about your mobile phone? My better half has recently suspected that her phone has been ‘listening’ without anyone knowing, and then feeding stories back to her based on what it’s heard...
