    What the cold uncovers.......

    Yesterday morning I opened my drivers door and the kick plate (the bit piece of plastic which is clipped on to the bottom of the door frame) ripped off as it was stuck to the bottom of the door. Thinking lightning would not strike twice my Dad opened the passenger door and the same thing...

    CL63 - Complementary or compensatory

    If i read your post correctly then if people had been able to merge in turn (like a zip) then he would come up infront of you? If the golf went first then he would be 3rd into the single lane. If the car at the front of your lane went first he would be 4th into the single lane. Either way...

    Car judders when pulling away.

    Thought I would just bring this thread back to life. Now occasionally the car judders so badly that it doesnt even move for maybe a minute and then will all of a sudden pull away perfectly. Any one got any more ideas? Could it be the clutch/fly wheel?

    Audio - - - -

    I cant see any moisture in there at all but an interesting thing happened. I was filling up the washer fluid resevoir when a bit slashed out of the nozzle and landed on the earthing screw near by. When I went back into my car, the problem was there again!!!

    Hi Guys, I have a problem with the audio system in my car. The whole thing is 100% factory fitted now. The problem is that, when it rains the "reset fuse" in the engine bay for the cd player keeps tripping out which causes the radio to carry on playing but the controls become unresponsive...

    Merc Keys

    I am assuming you have the key without the flip out key, just the electronic key. If so, buy any key on ebay which is similar to yours and simply swap the electronics. To do this you have to remove the metal key and take off the cover as if you were changing a battery. Then take a pair of...

    Windscreen washer jets not working

    Hi, I was driving around with the low fluid in the washer tank warning on for a few day using the odd squirt here and there. On my last squirt before I actually filled up the tank, the jets seemed to have no pressure behind them. Following this, I filled up the tank and the jets still had...

    W203 petrol tank

    The petrol tank in a W203 C-class is sort of a saddle bag shape over the axel, does anyone know if this means the car has to fuel pick up pipes, one from each side? Also, how does the fuel pick up work, when is one side used and when does it switch to the other side? Thanks in advance Zishan

    Car judders when pulling away.

    To check the coolant I just opened the bonnet and looked in the coolant resevoir. The coolant was filled almost right to the top, where there appears to be a sort of level marker. Is that wrong? Zishan
