Just noticed this the other day; the car cannot tell you the time unless you put the ignition on, is that right? Sure, you can switch on the audio without the key in but unless you put it in and turn it to the Acc position it actively refuses to show the time on the main display. Even a 1978...

Apologies for the question, bit of an odd one but I'm not sure how I'd test this without asking Mrs Juux to follow me in her car...! I've had cars with cruise control before, but none that actually brake to keep you within a certain tolerance of your set speed. You can feel the car brake...

Picked up yesterday, loving it so far :) Just a few quick phone snaps so I can remember what it looked like before all the grime and stone chips.

The last two new cars I've bought the dealers have given my kids a toy car. Must cost them pennies, but the goodwill goes a long way and my son loves them and is always now keen to visit in case he gets another one. Is it worth me talking the little darlings along tomorrow when I pick my new...

Looking to buy a new C-Class and the only thing that's putting me off is that lack of a pre-paid service plan. We got three years servicing with our VW for £249 (now £349) and BMW only want £350 for a full five year plan, but somehow M-B want to charge £27 a month - £972 over three years...

I'm looking to replace our 3yo VW and looking around it would seem that M-B are offering some stonking deals i.e. £220/mo *less* than the equivalent Passat! (C220CDI Sport Estate Auto vs. Passat Sport TDI 170PS DSG). It seems we'll be able to pay effectively the same "real money" amount per...

I've a strange phenomenon with the 2-3 upshift on my 94 300TD. When stone-cold it is perfect but after the first couple of changes it seems to go into neutral for ½-1 second during the change and the revs rise accordingly. Once warm it reverts to normal operation. Any idea what might be...

As title, where can these by purchased? Only from Mercedes?

I bought my first Mercedes a week ago and can see why the marque has such a following more and more each day! The car is a 1993 300TD with high miles but looks and feels like is has done a fifth of them, I really am flabbergasted at how competent (if slow!) it is and can see me running it for a...

The owner's manual for my car (300TD) says the centre button on the aircon controls should be marked 'EC' and the aircon is actually off when the light is lit. Perversely logocal in a teutonic way I suppose! Fine, but the centre button on mine is the more usual snowflake aircon symbol and...

I've just bought a lovely '93 300TD that had only a couple of minor niggles to sort out, one being new tyres. I've heard it said that these cars can be sensitive to the tyres used and so was wondering if anyone has any recommendations? The car will be used mostly on the motorway, with only...
