    Car Descriptions

    Maybe it's just me, but for some reason I kinda cringe when I see people's signature bit on car forums when they leave posts. I'm referring to the bit at the bottom of a post. Some people have a wise saying attached to theirs, some have funny jokes etc. etc I have never understood the "over the...

However, my point is this...

    Advice Needed.....R-Class

    Folks I saw it and I can't decide if I love it or hate it. I look at it from one angle and I think it's quite quirky and appealing then I tell myself I must be bonkers. I know they are completely different cars but it kinda reminds me of the Renault Vel Satis from years ago. It is a 2006 R320...

    Car HPI Check

    Folks I have suspicion about my W204 and l was wondering how to get it checked. I bought it not so long ago but I find it seems to get stone chips very easily on front and back bumpers. Plus, someone said to me that the bonnet doesn't look like it is closed the way it should be. I wasn't told of...

    Bicycle Carrier Advice

    Folks I am thinking of getting a bicycle carrier for my W204 Saloon. There appear to be 3 main options: 1. Tow bar type 2. Roof mounted type 3. Boot mounted type. I don't have a tow bar and I don't want one either. I always thought they looked awful so that option is out even though it...

    Weather

    Before I go any further this is NOT an attempt to be racist/poking fun/etc in any way. I read this recently and thought it was quite funny. I hope you all take it totally in the spirit in which it is intended.......which is '100% light-hearted'. "Our weather is like Muslims.....it's either...

    Rear Parking Sensors

    My W204 C200 is a quite basic SE spec. It suits me fine as I'm not really into lots of gadgets etc. but it is the first car I've owned for a while that doesn't have rear parking sensors and I do miss them on occasions. Does anyone know of a basic, easily-fitted kit I can buy that doesn't look...

    In my opinion this is right up there with the best looking cars ever made, and way ahead of it's time too. Some of you will disagree I'm sure.

    Replacement headlight bulbs?

    Some years ago I had a Saab. I put new Phillips bulbs in after being told they were fabulous. They weren't. They were no better than standard bulbs. Do any of these halogen upgrade bulbs REALLY make a difference or is it all a load of tosh? New HID units are not worth the money in my opinion...

    Touch Up Paint

    Folks Recently I was looking for a touch up for my W204. I took a bit of a punt and bought one from eBay. It is all too easy to be critical of suppliers and many people will rant and rave when it goes wrong but I believe good service should be ranted and raved about just as much if not more...

    Engine hunting on idle

    2008 W204 C200 CDi On idle the engine is hunting a little. The fluctuation is very small (probably no more than 100rpm) but it is there when cold or warm. Is this a problem or normal? New thermostat being fitted this week. Don't know if the two are connected? Thanks Chris

    Thermostat Problem???

    My W204 C200 CDi has a normal running temperature of around 50 on the gauge but when in prolonged stop/start traffic (30 mins or more) it climbs to around 90-100. When normal driving resumes it goes back to the 50 mark. Is this too low? And if so does it suggest a thermostat issue or something...
