A bit of a curved ball request. I have an Audi S5 which I have discussed here before - it suffered a gearbox fault at the beginning of the summer, has eventually been 'fixed', but the cause of the fault not dealt with. See the final post of the thread linked below. Coming back to MB after a...

I have a knocking sound coming from the front end - feels like it’s offside front corner but can’t be entirely sure. It can be felt through the steering wheel too. Now here’s the strange bit - it only happens or can be felt when the car is fully warmed up and had been on a decent run - no...

After a mostly enjoyable year in an Audi S5 Cabriolet, I’m not really sure it’s for me. It’s currently in an Audi workshop awaiting a gearbox fix (I hope) under warranty, but it has taken over a month so far (the fault appeared en route to the Goodwood FoS). It has been diagnosed as a faulty PCB...

Nov 2000 Facelift, 2 owners, 152,000 miles, Labradorite Green - rare colour with black leather Comand, 7 seater, I've covered 77,000 miles in my ownership since 2006 - it's been a solid ally but is now surplus to requirements. There is a little rust around the nearside rear wheel arch and a...

Well that’s unfortunate. Apologies in advance for the Jackanory nature of this post Left London early yesterday and all was going well - the old beast hadn’t been used for a couple of weeks but was pulling like a train heading west. Anyway once we hit a couple of slow points (A303 - stop start...

2000 X 150,000 miles, 2 owners Labradorite Green with Anthracite leather (rare very dark green) Seven Seats Sport suspension with 17" Sador wheels Comand satnav - no CD changer as it didn't work and I prefer to use the 3.5mm AUX jack in the glove box Bury phone kit (for Nokia phones I think)...

Driving the old beast yesterday and it felt like there was some obstructive intervention in the operation of the rack - no evident shake or vibration on the road as such, just a feel through the wheel as you go from lock to lock of something there causing it not to be smooth. Sorry I can't...

Yes I know, the youngest of the R129s will be an old car that is 15 years old now, but bear with me. I test drove what looked to be a fairly good 2001 SL320 this morning. The car had just under 100k miles but seemed to have been looked after. Anyway it felt much heavier to drive than I...

I just wanted to share a bizarre experience I've had through the course of the day in trying to renew my buildings and contents insurance. Having extended my house over the last year I now have GRP covered flat roofs that just exceed 50% of my total roof area, and thought it would be a good...

Tying to organise a 'cheap' long weekend skiing for a small group of friends for a 50th but a little stumped on where to go. Criteria as follows: Travel mid March 2017 Fairly cheap (I know there is an inherent contradiction here) Quick airport transfer Reasonably snow sure Intermediate level...

The end of my GPS antenna cover has fallen off leaving the core exposed and flapping around. Can the cover be bought separately? Will check with MB but has this happened to anyone on here? It looks a bit sad really and fear the whole antenna thing will be £££ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm guessing this is a new Lagonda?

Spotted this morning

A little advice required please fellow forum members: My parents [aged 83 and 78] have just moved back to the UK having spent the last 12 years in Ireland. I've found them somewhere to live and now a small runaround so they can get themselves around, but here is the rub - although they have...

Just got in the trusty W210 320CDI and within 100 yards there was loud bang/pop followed by the a short 'whoosh' like air escaping. Oh dear, what this time? Engine kept running but with no power - it will rev normally at idle but load the engine and acceleration is either stuttering on part...

This is sad news - a good racer who never got the chance he deserved in F1 Justin Wilson: British IndyCar driver dies after crash http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/motorsport/34037413 I watched part of that Indycar race on Sunday night and it was one of those races - cars actually looking fast...

Two random but identical ventilation fan problems in the last few days - for some reason it starts running ''superfast', ie faster than the maximum controllable setting, and will not respond to the controller. Set the fan to off and it carries on running at very high speed. OK better switch the...

Looks very discreet..

I'm thinking about replacing the trusty S210 and fancy a rare petrol V6, either in late facelift S211 or early very rare S212 E350 guise. Is there anything to be concerned about with the engines in these models? Would a very late S211 be a better bet than an early S212? Would be glad to hear...

Heading over there today - does anyone have any suggestions as to the best place to watch at the circuit? First time watching bikes racing... Thanks Sean
