    Is the 7g gearbox really that bad?

    One of the replacement options for our E240 is an E280 petrol with the 7g gearbox that I've read so much about. Surely they can't all be lemons as Merc use this box across pretty much the entire range, so who can tell me the good points about (and their wonderful experiences with) this...

    Are W211 diesels that bad?

    I'm was looking to update my trusty V plate W210 3.0TD. by about 5-6 years. The mechanic who has looked after my Mercs for years tells me the 211 is very unreliable, and that lots of 320 diesels came in for injectors after 70k and they have all sorts of expensive and irritating problems. He...

    Very bad inner tyre wear

    Hi Guys, I have a 53 plate C180K estate and the rear tyres are both worn right down on the inside. The rest of the tread is OK, its almost like it is only rolling on 10% of the tyre. I would say they have not done much more than 10K. I have a number of bushes replaced last year. As you look...

    Can bad tyres cause a harsh ride?
