2nd

Hi guys, My w210 E36 is behaving as the title says, it holds onto 2nd gear and refuse to change up unless reving to high revs like 4-5k when the engine/gearbox is cold (usually first thing in the morning), it only seems to do that a couple of times then the gear box return to normal, i.e...

In good condition with very minor surface marks no dead pixels and still under guarantee with M&S until 13/10/11 (if a fault develops they normally exchange for a new later model!) includes brand new earphones and brand new sync/charge cable £145 including recorded delivery

This morning I did a few 2nd gear 2000-6000rpm runs. I repeated 4 or 5 times and found the results very repeatable, within 0.1s. This test is very easy and keeps you in the legal speed limit too. For comparison I read that a Mk1 MX5 1600cc can do 6.1s. I'm curious to know how other makes and...

Just wondered if anyone has had this before. The car has done it occasionly since i've had it but it seems to be getting worse. Sometimes on hard acceleration, especially after a cold start and going uphill, it will hold 2nd gear. It will accelerate through 1st and 2nd but wont change to 3rd...

Hi folks, I had booked a Family Room non smoking at London Docklands Travelodge checking in 2nd Jan and Checking out 4th Jan 2011. I unfortunately cant use this room anymore as my plans have changed. If anyone is interested and wants to make me an offer then please PM me. I can then...

Hi all, Just got a C180 2.0 2003 72k last week, all good apart from one problem... in the S setting in the auto gearbox when it changes from 1st to 2nd there is a very noticable jerk, like a very hard gear change. It does this on the tip mode also from 1st to 2nd. All other gear changes are...

BAC TSR2 RAF Aircraft Olympus 320 Jet Engine TSR-2 on eBay (end time 12-Jun-10 12:15:53 BST) Really worth £2m? For only £1m more, Ebay's most expensive item - a 2007 Sunseeker seems a bit more useful! HD

Hi Folks, Does anyone fancy a GTG in Cheshire on Wednesday 2nd June? Myself and Corned are meeting up and we thought it would be a good idea to meet with anyone else who fancies a bite to eat and a few drinks at a good pub. There are some decent places to be fed and watered and some...

Near where I live there's a second hand car dealer - sells old tat that none of us locals would touch with a bargepole.. The fact that they're still going strong after 10 years but we never see any customers, test drives, or sales taking place just reeks of dodginess in my eyes..anyway...

Could have sworn I saw a post on here about this carfest - can't find it! We're going with PCGB in the 968, and the bumf I've had from them says MB Club will be there (among numerous other car clubs) - but all I can find is a group on t'other side! So - are MBOA going to be representing the...

After much deliberation my head beat my heart and it was a practical car that won the day - the sports car can wait for another summer. So it's an ML320cdi with Brabus D6 upgrade. I picked it up tonight and had a 2 hour drive back - it really is very impressive. The power and grip are...

Came across this German PARTS SITE [they have an English language version :thumb:] offered second hand and refurbished parts for older MERCS. Prices seem on the highish side but if you were stuck???? p.s they offer a remove-able bonnet star German SPOB: MERCEDES NEUTEILE & GEBRAUCHTTEILE &...

I am sure I have read somewhere (but can't find it) that there is a place in Germany that supplies 2nd hand parts. Anyone got any details.

From MB Direct in Caterham, very happy chap as they were very good to deal with (unlike my experiences of Kingston), and they made me feel like i got a great deal (£1800 off screen price of a relatively low end car, plus a service, new MOT etc). I have been searching for an R129 SL500 for a...

hi my r129 is possibly the worst car to drive in 1cm of snow (even in W mode :D ) and as everybody else been looking at getting a 2nd pair of rims and some winter tyres been talking to my brother (who lives in holland) and he drives a porsche and has similar problems in the snow with summer...

Hi, The W gearbox mode, will that set the car off in second and generally stay in lower gears longer? Or should i go to tiptronic and do it myself? Siorry for the simple question. Cheers

Hi does anyone known how much roughly a W114 or W115 grille (chrome surround & inner mesh) is worth? no star or badges chrome is OK, but some minor pitting, but still very good. i had a look on ebay but there doesnt seem to be any.... thanks derek

My C32 changes hard into 2nd with a jolt but is fine in all other gears. The gearbox has had a filter and oil change and also a new electrical connector. Does anyone know of a good Indi that knows how to alter the gearbox via STAR??

I recently put a speculative bid on US ebay for a 66 Mustang. As you can see from my signature I have imported a Mustang before. My bid was 50% of the final auction value, which did not reach reserve - and yet this evening I received an e-mail from the seller with a second chance offer at my...

:bannana::bannana::bannana::bannana::bannana::bannana::bannana::bannana: 2 1/2 hrs and counting! V8 heaven here I come!. I shall post the details when I have picked it up! Cheers Simon
