Euro NCAP have published results of a survey of cars fitted with ESP as standard. The UK languishes at the bottom of the table with the Netherlands, Greece,Malta and Ireland. :( http://www.chooseesc.eu/download/press/EuroNCAP%208_May%20ESC%20Brochure.pdf Mercedes comes out quite well.:) :)...

Anyone ever stop by the forum on www.autocar.co.uk? I do when I have chance but not a regular visitor by any means, although I don't miss a copy of the magazine. It seems they've binned the old forum which was very flat (in design, not content) in favour of a new one which seems to have lots...

I can detect a very slight misfire at idle... so slight, you have to concentrate to detect it. However, as the car has now done just under 55k miles, it's fair to assume the plugs could be the culprit. I'd like to change them myself in order to save £100+ labour from the local specialist...

I had a small diesel leak , have been recommended to change the lines. Car was serviced yesterday - asked them to look at it - they say there is a leak from the shutoff valve. Couple of threads say you can change the o ring - better option than £130 plus labout to change the valve. Problem...

Had a B service on a W203 200K 4500 miles ago, today I've a persistant warning about pad wear on LCD display? I kind of assumed that the pads were changed on a 'B' service, can anyone help? should they have been (can't believe I have worn them out in 4.5K). Anyway, assuming that they...

Hi Guys, Whilst researching the Corel Draw question in my previous thread I ended up on a site that suddenly displayed an agreement stating that if I accepted it the prog would alter my dial out settings to a £1.50 per minute site. I clicked on don't accept but I couldn't get rid of it. I...

Since I sold my 1994 C280 a little more than month ago and I just bought another 1993 190E Limited Edition, I decided to change my name to reflect this. Black_1994_C280 is now Limited Edition! :bannana: Regards, Don
