Happy Easter Monday to one an all. We have a bit of a dilemma which I would like to share and take your advice on. Our German Shepherd (Honey) is 14 and unless she has caught some sort of bug I reckon in the next day or so she will have to be put to sleep. A little history. Four years ago we...

As some of you may be aware my poor old EVO decided to roll down a hill in November of last year. Sadly I was in it at the time, but fortunately I wasn't hurt. The insurance company (Admiral) have finally made me their initial offer, which is well short of what I paid and had the car insured...

Hi from the new guy! I own a lovely 1994 W124 e220 auto petrol estate. Recently it has developed a miss fire but it is intermittent. Driving along, suddenly loss of power, along with a sound like a backfire - Ffffft! Then I stop and rev it in "N" and it will not rev over 4000 rpm - almost...

Last month I was going to take the Brabus S class to the Le Mans Classic. My other half and my niece were going so I decided to take the S Class. It is a W140 1995 model converted to SV12 spec in 1999. I have always had an issue with brake fade although she does run massive Alcon calipers on...

My 5-year-old C180 has been showing a fault with the front indicator intermittently for the past couple of months - sometimes the fault has gone away for weeks at a time. The fact that the fault kept going away made me think that the bulb couldn't be the problem. The malfunction warning has been...

I am considering transferring my family videos (kids as a baby, birthday parties, playing with the grandparents, first bike ride, etc) in Sony Hi-8 format onto DVD. Has anyone had any experience of places such as ontodvd.com where you send off your tapes and get DVDs back ? Just being mega...

E300TD Valve Seals - help appreciated Hi All I've got a problem and any help or advice appreciated. My E300TD (1999 65Kmiles) has started occasionally producing blue smoke and I've had to top up the oil - though only a litre in the 14k between services. If I am motorway cruising or...

Hi all, we are having a problem with our Ford Ka, in that when you depress the clutch in order to change gear, the engine revs as though you haven't taken your foot off the throttle first ..... :confused: It only does it for 1 or 2 seconds each time before the revs drop to normal, hence at...

I think I know the answer already but here goes....! I have paid a deposit for goods, the balance to be paid via a credit agreement and am now outside the "cooling off" period. If I now wished to cancel the order/agreement, what chance (zero, I believe!) have I got of getting my deposit back...

Hi all I am a new user to this site and, hopefully, a first time SLK owner on Saturday. I have put a deposit down and go to pick it up then. It's a 230K, silver with black leather, 2000 W reg. £17,995 from Chigwell Cars. All seems fine and obviously, I won't part with the cash until I've...

I have the possibility of buying a P reg C180 in ice blue metallic with air, auto, cruise, sat nav and only 45k genuine miles with one lady owner and full history. Looks a lovely car and I reckon I could get it for somewhere around £6,300-£6,800. My main concern is that if I ever needed to pull...
