Hi chaps. Been a long time away form the forum, as up till now I have been having reliable driving of my older Mercs. I now have a 55 plate 220CDI est. Had it serviced at a good local garage, and up till now all been fine. However it has started missing a beat, usually at around 65-70 and...

Hi Chaps. Trying to get hold of this chap re a litigation I am about to start against a rip off garage. I have tried his mobile, and never seem to get a reply. He, it seems was supposed to have done work on this car, and I need it confirmed on the state he left it in. Not blaming him in the...

Hi chaps I am looking at buying a 2003 (march) E 320 CDI Car is quite clean and low mileage for year. Now I am not sure about this, but I have nagging feeling that anything below a 2004 had problems of some description? or something to do with the in car audio? Now it may have been a rust...

Hi guys, long time not on here. Divorce, bankrupt, lost AMG <sob> Anyhooo I am back with a Merc, bit of an old dog, a C220CDI coupe diesel, on an 02 plate,but cheap to run. Question:- Is it worth ripping out the audio 10, and perhaps fitting an aftermarket? If it's an arm and a leg, forget...

Not my weekend, just picked up my CLK350 cab, nice car, apart from the Comand. No DVD playback, No MP3. And found out no phone pre wire. So what is the difference between my comand in the CLK 55 plate, and the Comand in my old 04 plate E class? The units look the same, really miss the ability...

May be of use to someone, but I have finally given up on Orange after 16 years of poor service coverage, going to try Vodaphone as I believe they have the best coverage? Anyway, you may find this site useful for unlocking your phone from Orange, or any of the others for that matter...

Noticed this more frequently lately. Most mornings when pulling away from home my gear changes sort of surge? As I accelerate the revs increase more than usual and the car sort of jolts. Have been back to the dealer 3 times and they say they can find nothing wrong. Anyone any ideas? Paul.

We have 6 mobiles with Orange, my current phone M5000 is the biggest load of rubbish ever, losing so many calls, and what with the coverage of Orange, and the terrible customer service, who would you suggest to go to? I was thinking of Vodaphone, as I had one years ago with them and the...

Anyone noticed the quantity of (ah hum) backup copies of these on Ebay? Nearly bought one, but thought better of it. Paul.

Just bought number two daughter a C270CDI, they say the car has Star Shield and is Merc approved product. Never heard of it before, did notice that on a Black car, bird poo still left (not unlike petrol on water) stain, even when it had only just landed!! (I was washing the car for her)...

As you may or may not be aware my car is in for repair as I got shunted. Note the replacement I have been given is 6 Months newer than mine (in fact it's a E200 ). Anyway I noticed that when the lights are on I get a little green headlight indicator on the rev counter telling me. Was this...

On my way to Moorfields this morning to get my eyes looked at and would you believe it I got rammed by a Surgeon in a Jag! Did feel sorry for him, he was quite upset, however his brakes were no match for mine when the car in front of me stopped very quickly! Anyway I took a "wow heavy man...

I have been following Brians thread with interest as he was fitting a Sat Nav and the information gleaned was usefull, but I am still not sure that the centre bottom of the windscreen is the right place? No only that but I am a devout coward when it comes to pulling my car apart, and want to...

Just noticed the front of my grill, looks like a stone hit it a quite a speed :( Did not notice before that it was plastic ! Stone would not have been so bad, but it looks like the plasty chrome covering is lifting. Anyone an idea of how much for a replacement? or where I might even...

This is exceptional. And very apposite right now... Subject: Australia - The Right to Leave (Applies equally to the U.K.) Our Country - YOU Have the right - the right to leave ! After hearing about Sydney not wanting to offend other cultures by putting up Xmas lights...

My beloved TIVO has to go. Upgraded Hard disk 80GB. All the usual accessories, phone cable, remote, IR blaster. Excellent condition. Make me an offer? Not sure what a Tivo is? then go take a look at www.tivo.co.uk Paul.

I have RSI in both my shoulders, and cleaning and polishing my car leaves me in agony for quite a few days after. (So beware all you spotty young computer people, working in tight server rooms, and cramped keyboards caused it all) I have used a local valet service (in fact two) both of which...

Best way I can describe it! When going round roundabouts,pulling away from a standing start, or even crawling in a queue, the car sort of pauses then lurches forward. It's as if there is a dead spot on the throttle. It is most notable on roundabouts and damn irritating. Annoying part is...
