In my search for an R129 SL500 I have come accross a few cars which have hardly been used for a year or two (or more), some garaged and some not. Inspecting underneath some has led me to immediately discount them due to all components being rusty and those stored under car covers seem to have...

Bit of a rant. When I collected my car it was delivered with a scratch on the drivers door window. After 6 months a new piece of glass was waiting at the dealers to be fitted so I booked my car in to get it fitted along with a couple of other minor issues that I had with my car. I dropped my car...

As the title says, we drove through Paris this year on the "Terriforique" and we are going back to France in September and would like to avoid the mayhem if possible. :eek: From Glasgow to the South of France, we plan to stop in Compiegne just north of Paris for the night. Next morning should...

Hi All, From looking at Parkers guide for the c220 cdi W203 it seems that pre 2004 cars do 43 mpg combined and post 2004 do 39 mpg. it it the case that the DPF has sapped mpg? If so is it worth avoiding the post 2004 models? Curiously, the C270 CDI which I am also considering, doesn't seem...

Councils wishing to fill budget deficits with cash from parking fines may be disappointed - because drivers are determined to avoid them, a motoring organisation has said. AA members were asked to pick their motoring New Year resolutions, and by far the most popular was trying to park...

This car park has a reputation for people breaking windows and nicking stuff out of cars. It's what happened to me today. Car is now with MB Stratford. So stay away and don't ignore advice like what I did. Nothing of note was in the car except for EUR change in a bag (£20 odd) and I think...

What a shower! Eight contacts with them over last 18 months. Each one less than satisfactory, ranging from being offered a few hundred off list price on a run out A class for a cash sale , to them nearly getting me killed when their warrenty "repair" to the gearbox left me without power in the...

Sorry if a FAQ... I'll soon be leaving my 2003 W211 E320CDI at Gatwick for 2 weeks in the long term. And again later in the year for just one week. What are the chances of it being able to start when I get back from hols at 3am? Should I disconnect the battery in the boot, or just remove...

Following a house move I find myself needing a new broadband connection. Since the previous occupants of my house seem not to have bothered cancelling their ADSL service, my phone line is still "tagged", preventing me from signing up with anyone until the "tag" is removed by BT Wholesale. This...
