Called PCS yesterday to book a service and investigate a cel light. Less than 24 hours later, all done. Did the 4 hour round trip today. Cel caused by a loose pipe (phew). Big thumbs up for Olly and all at PCS. Well worth the journey for me, (even though with the petrol it brings this above...

Hi guys had the c230k for a few month done approx 3k miles. Had a really lumpy idle and plugged in my code reader to find misfire on 1 and 4 cylinders. Thought i'll change the plugs and found every single plug well in the rocker cover full of oil. Cleaned them out best as possible and...

Today Acid (Brabusk8 on here) was kind enough to hold a group remap at Viezu headquarters in Birmingham. Despite numerous posts on here about guys wanting their cars remapped very few members showed up, and all I can say to those guys is you missed out! First of all Acid is a very nice guy...

The story begins on a cold, dark autumnal morn... As part of helping out my southern cousins that can't even afford petrol for their V8 such is the poverty south of the Watford gap, I decided to buy a C43 AMG to help a Londoner. I rise at 05.00 hours to prepare for my journey down south...

Well my daughter's christening is coming up this weekend and it's about six months into my ownership of my E class estate, so I thought it deserved a slightly more comprehensive job than usual from the mobile valet. As a tribute to the chap who turned up while it was still dark and worked away...

Here is something really dark and scary with those Automatic Number Plate Recognition... They are now everywhere... I Edinburgh, I called the Council about it and ask the reason why they were popping out everywhere as I am concern about my privacy, the reply was: Its for the traffic management...

Hi all! Posted this at mbworld, thought i'd repost here for everyone! Took delivery of the CLS a few weeks ago and thought i'd share pics for current and potential customers to drool over, and more importantly show some of the changes I noticed in the 2013 model year car. Please note, I am...

Hello all. I am looking for some help with a gearbox issue with my CLK. The story is that on Sunday I went out with the family and while on the motorway the orange engine light came on. All seemed fine so stupidly I carried on driving and headed for home. After a short while the gears started...

Hi all, I've got a 2005 SLK 200 R171 which has 17" wheels on it. What size (larger) wheels can I put on without needing any modifications? Thanks in advance.

With stops for bottles and nappies around a nine hour day - Reims to Valence with a wide swing out East to avoid traffic around Lyon and the 'autoroute du soleil'. Mainly cruising at a'rounded up' French NSL which explains the fuel consumption. Last two hours were some of the fastest and most...

Hi every one just entered the mercedes fraternity buying myself a s320l cdi on an 05 well impressed so far

I only recently discovered that these guys are very near to me. I was in two minds whether to buy a DA polisher having been thinking about it for ages or to get my paintwork corrected professionally (probably by them). Anyway I took the plunge and bought a DA polisher and took their advice on...
