Small cars 19 stone and 6ft 6in do not make a good combination. I have been away for 2 years with another marque buit will be back in an E500 as of Saturday.

Cheers guys just the sort of feedback I wanted. As I sort of suspected as an investment my money might well be better invested elsewhere. Should that not read ANYWHERE except in a car, any car.

Interesting about the seats having short bases, that would matter to me. At 6ft 6in It would matter to me too. Had 2 x 210 and 1 x 211 Did not like the look of the 212 when it arrived on the scene but it is starting to grow on me now that there a feww on the roads to be seen. Not driven a...

I still use my cassette player to listen to tapes of Round the Horne! A man with impeccable taste in radio, and a proper sense of humour. PS Any 7 year old will transfer them to your media of choice.

When driving, listen for metallic rattle, sign of cat breaking down. I would describe this as a "TINNY RATTLE" From experience sadly.

14 Months of ownership but it's still not a Mercedes I don't post very much these days but I still lurk in the background once a week or so. I would like to air my views on the BMW 530i that I bought in November 2010. Where to start, well the BMW as a car has no faults with the 3 litre...

This was on a Jag I used to see often. Now on a Fiat 500 122Y. Nice for Isobella

7K Per Year a diesel makes no sense at all.

12,000 PA Split between 2 cars Why would you even consider a diesel?

Peolple get confused about pressure and volume, It's the volume that counts CFM CUBIC FEET / Minute. Some air tools use a lot and some use small amounts, it's all down to your requirements for what you are running. If you go down the Hydrovane route regular oil and filter changes are all it will...

Well guys if it does not have different modes and I would have expected STANDARD and WINTER or STANDARD and COMFORT 4x4 or not. For the un - informed Winter and Comfort start off in second gear. Then the OP cant be kicking it down from stand still because it would already be in first gear. It...

I have to use the kickdown to make a quick start to get across a junction, Are you driving in W or C mode? If so drive in S mode that will automaticly use first gear and get you away. 25 MPG for a 2 Tonne brick with a "Small Engine" is most likely about as good as it gets.

The only time I notice the difference is when you try to sell a car with Fabric or Half Leather, lots of head scratching and "Now if it had leather" It's all rubbish, take a fully speced car =£XXX No Leather =£XX Till it goes on the dealers forecourt then It BECOMES "FULLY LOADED" and in the...

Small claims court.

My BMW 530i Petrol is averageing 27 mpg, but I do not do many long trips nothing over 15 miles on a regular basis. I try to avoid sitting in traffic with a cold engine as this just drinks fuel. I still can't find the E280 / 320 CDi that I want so I will stick with this until I do find one. I...

Private sales are pretty flat, people are being very cautious with the cash. At the end of the day it will be your choice. Work out the numbers and see what it's going to cost you, then decide. If you choose the privat route be prepared to wait and by then the other cars you are interested in...

Sorrry to hear about this BUt, a close friend of mine got 2 tickets inside a 400yard stretch of road.

Just a query a little off subject but who will the majority of Scots be routing for in the England vs France 6 nations match???????????;) Come be truthful now we all know the answer. It's OK we understand Celts always stick together against ENGLAND. THAT is why I have a very big collection of...

I stopped usin one garage because my MB always stank after a service. However the costs could be used on more important matters. Beam me up Scotty it's time to leave earth.

Is it not in the Highway Code as an advice note.
