I have some terrible wipers, that if memory serves were put on by mercedes at some point 1-2 years ago. Smearing, and downright dangerous at night. any good recommendations for the best wipers to stick on?

Just got my car back from service and was told there was a slight oil leak. My local mechanic who does my MOT told me the same thing 2 weeks ago so that isn't in question. Have been told its a seal on an engine oil pan. They say the cleaned it off and left the engine running and it didn't come...

I'm finding myself in need of a van and rightly or wrongly I've narrowed it down to the above choices. budget is around £10k, and I'm noticing a huge price differential between the Vito and the Viano, which I'm assuming is basically the smaller luxuries. Firstly, is it particularly worth it...

So have just had to jiggle around my insurance on cars. Insurance on an X1 became due, so I called to move the 8 years NCB from the C63 to that. However, I was also insuring an Audi A3 which was the main reason of the call, they did me a deal on that, then when they asked why I wasn't renewing...

Just wondering about this, while day dreaming about a G Wagen £87995 here otr £63900 in europe (not sure if thats otr) Firstly, how are MB with letting you order a RHD car in europe? Secondly, how would it work in practise? I found an interesting post on another forum, but didn't quite...

Just come back from a few days away to find a nice 8 inch crack along my windscreen along with a small chip... Really odd, no other damage at all on the car. Its like someone hit it with a hammer :mad: Anyway, called insurance co, straight through to autoglass. They claim to offer the exact...

Just got sent the link to the visual health check and they've raised a couple of points, mostly filler but I'm wondering about a couple of bits. 1) Front brake pads 70% worn. ok? so when are they usually changed? Seems very worn considering I only have 28k miles on the car? 2) Inside of the...

I could have sworn I read somewhere that there was a valet mode for my car (10 plate C63). Is there, and if so, how do I use it? I might have to actually valet it today...

Not actually knowing anything about engines, particularly diesel ones, I'm just wondering specifically about the engine in the B180. Any good, reliable? Old engine, been around for ages? Etc etc Thinking of buying a 2 year old one, but has about 35k on the clock, so quite put off.

Performing my usual dithering, I know I have to bin the C63 while it's still worth something, so mincing around seeing what's out there. Used cars I can ask a buddy who's a car dealer to pick something up for me, but then had a look at new stuff out of curiosity. I'm literally all over the place...

Just wondering, I started with 2 cars on a multicar policy, then on renewal it worked out cheaper to have 2 separate policies, I'm going to be adding a 3rd car (getting my old pulsar Gti-R out of storage) and there's a small chance of a 4th car. It's prohibitively expensive getting new policies...

Not sure if this has been posted before, but really interesting seeing how the engine is put together. ? Mercedes-AMG Engine Factory - YouTube wonder if anyone here has one made by this guy

Friend has asked me to put this up here, plate for sale V12SLH £1399+fees let me know here either on the thread or via PM and I'll pass on the details

Driving down a narrow street the other day, an oncoming police car lights sirens etc forced me to swerve left, and in doing so, I knocked off a parked cars drivers side mirror :wallbash: Got out, changed details etc with the driver who was just getting to the car, and turns out its a hire...

So my renewal from Admiral multi car came in, fairly high. Went to gocompare and got a quote for each car individually, and the combined price was considerably cheaper then the multi car quote. Called Admiral back, gave them the quote reference number for each car, and they matched the...

So my dealer 'owes' me 6 months extra warranty (part of a sales agreement, wanted the 6 months remainder of the manufacturers warranty + 1 year), which they've failed to do. So I called Merc UK who in turn chased it up, they have contacted me, and said the dealer will be contacting me to resolve...

Have searched around a bit and can't find many points of view on this forum. Any thoughts? Toying with one approximately 2010, probably petrol since I also do tiny runs in town and the diesels seem to have dpf,, they seem like good value for about £10k? Especially compared to similar ages Audi...

Started up the car yesterday evening, and suddenly got all sorts of warnings flashing at me, all sorts of initials were warning me they werent working, non of which I particularly recognised, EBC? something like that at least. The traction control light came on (the one that comes on when you...

Thinking of getting this pressure washer: http://www.robertdyas.co.uk/P~162451~Karcher-K2-Compact-Home-Pressure-Washer Is the flow rate good enough for a snow foam attachment? 6 l/min, think it was 110bar. The picture on the side showing what it's good for covers bikes and floors, but not...

About 5 years ago I was in LA with my father who said when he was younger he nearly bought a 190 SL, so we looked around and found 2 mint concours level ones for sale. Went and had a look and ummmed and ahhhhed and decided not to bother, I can't remember if they were $30k or £30k, but damn...
