    EV Acceleration + Idiot - Experience = Dangerous?

    I've got a Model Y and it makes these noises which are clearly artifically generated. A 'spaceship' hum in reverse and a sort of 'white noise' at low speeed going forwards. This YouTube video demonstrates them, although I don't agree with the premise that they are annoying in the slightest. The...

    [SOLD] Audi S5 Cabriolet 2015/65

    I've not frequented the forum for a while but thought I'd leave this here in case it might be of interest. This is a great car which I've thoroughly enjoyed over the last few months but an incoming Tesla later in June meant that either this or the GLC has to go. The GLC "won." I have lots more...

    Appreciate the heads up. I’ll check in the morning.

    Back in the fold

    Aside from my dabble with a Smart car as a commuter whip, I’ve not had an MB since my W212 in 2016. My other half is coming out of the company car scheme as she’s simply not doing the miles to warrant the tax take these days, so I’m happy to be picking up a lightly used GLC350d Premium Plus...

    C32 wagon on M3cutters

    He makes it all sound so easy... ...mine had the shirt off my back and running into the arms of a brand-new E-Class 220d after 9 months just to restore my sanity. But, when it wasn't being spannered, man, it was soooo much fun. One of the great engines, that. At £4k I'm sorely tempted to revisit.

    A124 - Anyone know this Sportline E320?

    Of course but not even worth setting out if it's a scam. I'd not think about buying this unseen in a million years.

    A124 - Anyone know this Sportline E320?

    The plot thickened and then thinned again. Firstly, a bit more Google-sleuthing revealed that the pictures were taken some 85 miles away from where the car is being advertised for sale so, added to the price, lack of recent MOT etc, etc I started to think "scam" or "dog". A quick email...

    A124 - Anyone know this Sportline E320?

    Subject to a couple of personal ducks falling into a row I'm contemplating going back to a W124 as a lightly-used daily or a third car. I spotted this on Car and Classic. Looks very shiny and is in my favourite colour with a light interior. The price seems leaning towards the too good to be true...

    Copper 211 Designo

    +1. every logical fibre of my being is telling me the colour is terrible for a car but I also somehow think it looks so 'right'. Very confusing. If I were in the market for a stop gap car I'd be seriously tempted by this, it looks mint and if the desription is accurate looks to be a solid 211...

    Main dealer new trick? £2.5k inflated price for a cash purchase.

    What happens with the BIN once you pay your £99, does it force you down the MB finance route or are you free to pay the balance how you like? Dealer would have nowhere to go price-wise once you'd intiated the sale, surely? Feels like the obvious thing to do to me, assuming you were prepared to...

    GOODBYE MONDEO

    It's a sad day. I grew up as a kid with the Cortina, a teenager with Sierra's and the Mondeo as a (occasionally) fully-fledged adult. I bought a year-old 57-plate 2.5T Titanium X for two years and did about 60k in it. It went OK, was fully loaded, very comfortable and I can't remember it going...

    Advice - Redundancy

    Yeah, first 30k is tax free. The rest is taxed at your rate based on income over that tax year. It doesn't really matter when in the year you're made redundant as the tax will equalise over time (make sure HMRC know employment status and current tax code). However there would be some advantage...

    Office chair recommendations for bad back...

    It's a very personal thing. A good office chair with the proper support and adjustability you need to protect a bad back will cost well north of £500. Even the ones that don't look that good. An HM Aeron as mentioned is up there with the best but you can achieve the same comfort for less. I'd...

    Ever had your own tankard at the local pub?

    I haven't posted for years but have been lurking recently. I had to respond to this though, the Mole Trap was a big part of my childhood, my Grandparents had a house at the other end of Tawney Common and my Grandpa, like you, boasted a tankard behind the bar. I was sorry to see the pub...

    Transferring saved programs from sky box

    Recording it on to another device in real time is the only reliable way I found when I was trying to solve this problem a couple of years ago. I used a spare PVR. If it is just the one programme you're really interested in have you looked to see if its available to buy and keep anywhere (BBC...

    Do dealerships give gifts?

    I didn't get anything, not even floor mats, when I bought my new 212. It was a very good deal, done over the phone via a third party at long distance so I wouldn't have expected anything. I got a pile of odds and sods with the Discovery, USB key drive (convincing enough at a quick glance for...

    Its started !!!!!

    That's not an E-class, it's a W204 C I think. Might help when you're talking to plod. It seems weird they'd nick a plate from a) the wrong sort of car when so many c-class on the road and b) a memorable plate rather than an anonymous XXNNXXX one. Good luck getting it sorted.
