The same thing happened tonight on the motorway at about 70mph and juddered...

    What's your RPM cruising at top gear at 70mph?

    Mine is 2,500 - which I believe is normal for this engine/gearbox but I still think is slightly high - probably the result of having a four-cylinder 180K rather than a torquey V6 or a diesel.

    W209 Cruise Control - Cutting Out above 70mph

    Hi - I recently changed the wheels on my CLK W209 Facelift. I believe it is since then that I have had issues with the Cruise Control. It works fine up to around 75MPH but fails to hold the speed if set above this. It almost as if the car is running at a slightly faster speed than the Cruise is...

    Is 70mph too slow?

    I've recently changed cars from a W211 E240 to a R230 SL500. I've noticed drivers now tailgate me much more often and much closer when I'm in the overtaking lane of a dual carrigeway or motorway. I am not guilty of sitting there when there's room to pull back in safely. I will not be pushed into...
