bloody

My house is on a hill, so where I park, you can stand at the back of the house and look under the car (exhaust is at eye level). Just pottering outside today and noticed something unusual on the rear tyre. A closer inspection revealed there is a nail (or screw) stuck in the tyre. No idea...

I'm driving along my usual route home through the country lanes and BANG BANG what the f@#+!!!!!! then my dash lights up like a Christmas tree, I pulled up in the little lay-by 200 yards up only to find 3 other cars all changing their front passenger side wheels!!!! Thought I’d used the run flat...

Video: CCTV captures car crashing into shop in Milton Keynes - Telegraph ..or another mysterious "brake failure" :doh: :D

Yesterday on the A1 I lost power and had a BANG BANG BANG. Turned out to be an injector seized open. The fuel (and plenty of it!) was pre-igniting. Engine survived. I keep having to repair stuff to keep this w124 going. I was wondering what next after replacing small items like the head gasket...

Finally got my non-electric powered boot problem solved yesterday by Barret Lee in Sudbury. As advised, there was a break in the loom and it was sorted (and a few other minor bits) for an extremely reasonable £140 (compared to ROBninsons Mercedes of Cambs). On way home with my 13 year old...

Evening all - I've got a challenge on with bmw customer services should anyone be remotely interested on a merc forum. Read on and have a guess what the outcome will be, answers on Monday night I hope. Car is less than 3 years old hence covered by unlimited manufacturers warranty and has done...

Hello all, Been the victim of a most unusual crime. Some ratbag has stolen the drivers side mirror glass from my S320 CDi. The mirrors fold in automatically when I park it, and when I got in this morning it had been forced into the "out" position and the mirror glass was gone. Luckily the...

At the top of the screen! Throws everything on the page out..........:mad:

Chaps/esses, I found this via various links from a Volvo forum I frequent occasionally (Far better class of poster here :p ). Essentially it is an item on a "detailing" website. Think excessively **** polishing.... http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=347865&page=1 The...

I foolishly drove my car for two days without tax (due to not having the time to get it basically) and got caught by the DVLA, no probs I broke the law and deserved to be punished. They fined me £80 and I happily sent them a cheque on the 10th Feb which got cashed on 6th March. I thought...

Ok, so maybe what I'm about to tell you about wasn't done by Chavs, but I think the likelihood is that it was! Just got back from a meal out and noticed someone has nicked my 2 offside MB logo valve caps. It's dark at the moment, so I just hope the daylight doesn't reveal any malicious damage...

So here's the story.... I've not even had my Merc for 3 weeks, it's my pride and joy. A white '97 C250 TD auto Elegance in mint condition with 83k on the clock and history. On Friday just gone I pop onto the local retail park for some shopping, but before I go in I have a look under the...

OK so I've established my handy/mechanical skills are less than those of a dyslexic, short-sighted chimp with arthritic hands!! :mad: I stupidly , somehow managed to wedge a set of keys somehow half in and half out of the back of the ashtray!!! (yeah, I know!) Anyway after a bit of...

Never really minded traffic wardens and always been extra paranoid about where I park but my latest run in with one in particular seems to be un-earthing some deepest regions of the soul and all I can think of now is climbing a tower with a sniper rifle and start picking them off so apologies...

Bloody taxi cab drivers!! I was on my way to work this morning at around 5.45am doing about 45 in a 40 zone when a black cab that was parked up, decides to do a U turn right in front of me :crazy: I stamp on the brakes and the ABS goes into overload and manages to stop me about 4 feet from the...
