Went to change the thermostat today, as temp was only getting to around 60 in this cold weather. Coolant that came out appeared to be green in colour. Looked at local suppliers for fresh antifreeze only to discover that they all seemed to stock only blue or red. Assumed Mercedes probably has...

What a joy. Never known the roads so empty. I was actually able to use the tiptronic, and have some fun, instead of crawling around at 20-30 mph in auto as is normal round here in the week, unless you go out after 10pm. If only the roads could be like this always? Neil

Just spotted in the press release about the new E63 gearboxes. The 9 speed, I believe, and that it has several modes. I am merely questioning one of them. "Comfort" is the well-balanced drive program with a comfort-oriented suspension and steering set-up, as well as a fuel-efficient powertrain...

As above. Anybody from here going? Neil

Seeing in another thread that others on here maybe sometimes accidentally speed (myself included) and also tow caravans, I am curious wether being caught speeding, whilst towing caravan, is a worse offence than just speeding normally? Do you get 2 tickets?.6 points?..a towing awareness...

Shed Of The Week: Mercedes ML430 | PistonHeads Neil

Not sure if this pic will work Neil

Mights sound silly, but I assumed it worked ok (and am aware of problems with older alarms etc). I have never actually tested it, but recently left my dog in back for couple of minutes (and never even thought about alarm), and when I returned the hazards were going. No noise or anything, so do...

Economical with the truth? Ten myths about mpg figures | Top Gear My own experience says I never achieve the so called MPG figures, or anywhere near them. 16 mpg is good for me as I enjoy my car. I accept my driving style probably has an influence....but I bought it to enjoy. Neil

Second visit here, and more than happy, so felt I should post. First visit was because I "felt" something was not quite right with the rear end of my car, despite others saying it seemed ok. I went here because Olly seems to have a good reputation as somebody who knows about Mercs. I went...

How to drive the Ring in the snow - BBC Top Gear Neil

After reading the forums regarding the TG special, I am intrigued by what the cars went through, and how likely a modern car would actually cope? I just know mine would throw a wobbly at lots of what those cars achieved, which is maybe why all the challenges now involve them picking 10 year or...

Had the car (C209 CLK320) for a while now. Bought it for my own enjoyment, so never had anybody in the back. Yesterday, was asked for a lift. No problem, I thought. Two fairly burly chaps tried to get in back, and had major trouble, same with getting out. Am I correct in thinking the seats...

I am impressed with all the functions of my Merc, but seem to have found a new one today. As winter is setting in, and roads getting dirtier, thought it time to check all the levels on our daily vehicles. The misses car took about 3 litres of washer fluid to fill back up. The Merc took less...

The misses got a threatening letter today, telling her she will be fined, if she does not insure her car. Car is MOTed till august and taxed till end of January. It is NOT on the road, and has not, and would not have been driven on the road unless insured. I always believed that DRIVING without...

What section do I need to look in, in WIS to find info on wiring, etc for comand modules? Tried electrical but the stereo does not seem to appear? Probably just me, as there is so many catagories. Trying to find info on location, wiring etc for TV tuner Neil

It seems I now need to see a Urology stone consultant at Guys hospital next Friday, at 10.45. I live in Lancing, West Sussex, so will take some time to travel. Looking at train tickets, it will cost a fortune for myself and partner at the time we need to leave. I am thinking about driving...
