    Dash cam questions (lots of them)

    I think I want a dash cam. Been tempted for a while. My wife was recently reversed into while stationary and has been fighting for a better decision from the insurance company than 50:50. This has motivated me to look more seriously at dash cams! I found a few old threads on here...

    New brand ambassador?

    Not sure I want an AMG anymore after seeing this ;) Even though it is an SLS engine Usher "built" I think it's ultimately trying to make the A class appeal to the youth. I take this as a sign I am no longer part of that demographic :D ;)

    Intermittent electrical buzz when parked up

    Not worried about it but curious as to what it is. I've noticed a few times if the car has been driven earlier, when parked up every now and then there is a noise from under the bonnet. I guess it's some kind of motor but it sounds a bit like a dial-up modem. Lasts maybe 3 seconds and...

    Hello ladies and gents, In traffic driving to work this morning and noticed a squeak ever time I moved forwards. Sounded like the rear suspension. Any ideas? It was a cold one this morning which I wonder whether is a factor. I had some stuff in the boot but pretty sure it wasn't that...

    My wife's adventure driving to work

    Thought this story might make you laugh. I get home from work and Mrs DS confesses... "On the dal carriageway this morning I must have accidentally knocked the paddle because the car was revving at nearly 4000 rpm. I think it said D2. I had to pull off and put it in P then back to D."...
