    What is a "Vehicles Clamped" sign?

    That may sound like a stupid question but bear with me a moment. To me, it means that you risk having a Denver Boot clamped onto one of your cars wheels if you park in that area but to my wife it is just something else to reverse into and then say, "Oooops, I forgot that this car has a boot"...

    Am I allowed to post a link?

    Hi peeps, My car is up for sale on eBay but I don't want to post a link to it in case that would be against the rules. Is it? Or would it be OK to provide a link direct to my auction? Cheers, Steve

    Auto v Manual gearbox.

    Hi peeps, As a fairly new Merc owner, 190E manual, (old Merc but new owner) I was wondering if there was any chance of you guys explaining the pro's and con's of having either a manual or automatic gearbox. I ask because we have never had an auto except for 2 or 3 weeks at a time in Yank...

    Trip computer question

    Hi Peeps, Is it possible to retro-fit a trip computer gizmo in a car with manual gearbox? I'm not talking about a top of the range jobbie, just one that will indicate fuel consumption. Cheers, Steve

    A stupid question but........

    Hi Peeps, What's the difference between a Mercedes and a Mercedes Benz? Or is it just that you can use either at your whim when describing a Merc?

    Central locking question

    Hi Peeps, me again. My '91 190E has developed this thing where you click the button on the key fob remote and the indicators flash, the horn beeps but the doors don't lock. The little stick things (techy stuff, huh?) on top of the door panels just quiver a bit but don't go down. When this...

    190E in champagne, "H" reg and all mine, gerroffff

    I bought this just over a week ago and only done 187 miles in it so far but that short distance has convinced me that I did the right thing buying this rather than a newer "Beige box". (Not neccessarily a Volvo). Note the current "Beige box" in front of the Merc. It looks like a bog standard...

    Oil warning light question

    Hi, I bought an old 190E last week and today it went on its first long run. Everything went fine and the car is smooth as silk even with 128600 on the clock. The oil pressure guage needle is at the top of the scale when driving with anything above tickover applied to the "Go" pedal and drops...

    Her it is in the flesh, so to speak. I don't know why the piccie is showing pink bits, maybe something to do with the rain. There are no pink Penelope Pitstop bits on the car,

    New member just saying "Hi"

    I must be the newest member on this group having only signed up today. I bought my first ever Mercedes on Thursday night but couldn't collect it until Friday morning. It's a 1991 190E on an H plate. Looking forward to some fun over the summer (lol) having driven beige boxes on wheels for the...
