choice

Hi Guys, I was just wondering if anyone could possibly advise me on the best engine engine oil for my CL500 (W215) It has recently been serviced by MB about two months ago now and according to the service schedule it states that they used Mobil 1 (5/30) I have heard great things about...

Ok basically i'm looking to get my mum a new car next year and I want to get something reliable, and for it to look decent too. My Dad and I bought the 95 Corsa she's got now 10 years ago with accident damage from a friend for £500 and its been the most reliable car I have ever seen, but she's...

As the company car benefit in kind lowers the tax code will your choice of car in the future cost you more than you anticipated? Will this change your choice of car?

First post ! I have a 2006 c-class with 100k miles ( all mine ) . Always fitted the MO spec Continental sport 2 tyres, which are now becoming more expensive each time I replace. Any suggestions for other replacments - especially for rear where I get 15-18k. size is 205/55/16 Thanks

I am in a quandry. Have a choice of an SL280 1998, V6 112 engine with 8500 miles or an SL500 1998 113 engine with 47000 miles. Both have been well looked after and the asking prices are similar. Fuel consumption seems to be close from what I read here 19.8 compared to 23.2. Although with...

I have a mate who has decided on the e class cabrio. He really fancies the idea of ordering in white but is worried about how it will look on a daily basis on UK roads. He is now leaning towards black. Are there any particular issues ordering white in terms of image, resale etc?

Hi. A friend of mine has an opportunity to join up with someone to run a chauffeur business. He's a Jag man normally but has decided he should probably get a Merc for the reliability. What do we think would be the best model for him? He is thinking something maybe 5 yrs old, classy but...

Hello Brother currently has his new car list to choose from, and from this he has narrowed it down to - Merc C220Cdi Estate Auto SE - Audi A4 Avant 2.0tdi Auto SE Now he has had both to test over a couple of days....and the Audi is ahead. Both models he is allowed are the SE models not...

Hi I have a W211 2005 E320 CDI Sport with 18 inch alloy wheels fitted. I'm doing some preparation for winter :mad: by looking at winter tyres and steel wheels etc. I can't find it clarified anywhere if the Sport version of the W211 will accept 16" wheels or not - 16" steels are readily...

It's getting to that time where my daughter has to apply for a university place and I just wondered if anyone one on here or their siblings had taken the same degree and could coment on Universities. I have been through all the prospectus's she has but there is nothing like real life views...

Car is 211 estate. Fitted with standard 17" Ruchas ET38. Been offered a set of unused 212 alloys/tyres, same size, same tyre size but ET48. Have been given the chance to try on before I buy so that's OK. My question is....Will the parametric steering be affected by a change of ET?

I turned the computer on this evening and was asked to make a browser choice :confused: i havnt asked for this and am happy with ie8 the choices are firefox, safari, opera, chrome ie8 plus some more which i have just seen is this legit or spyware or worse :dk:

I am due to buy a new merc and have looked at a 2006 C22cdi with 22k miles on it from merc direct and now have just seen a 2004 CLK 320 with 54k. The money is not the problem I really fancy the 3.2 but head says the newer car because of the...

Anyone had any dealings, good or bad? It's that time of the year for me......:wallbash:

Hi My wife is wanting to trade her 55 reg C220 for a new E class Cabrio but we are undecided as to the engine choice and do not want to end up with something we cannot move on easily when she gets bored again :) I am unsure about getting a diesel open top car, to me it just seems wrong...

Recently purchased a 2000 W202 CD220. Drived lovely on the test drive and still does to a degree. We have noticed on last 3 journeys the car going into "limp mode", this only happens after 40 miles or so. All power disappears, no turbo kick in, it wont go over 2.5 - 3k. I then pull over turn the...

Due to change the tyres on 171 ,350.Got Mich Pilots on which are fine ,but read these are a summer tyre!(according to black circles) anyone know how true that is? Should I stick with OEM or go 20% cheaper with Goodyear F1`s Or Pirellis. 14k from michelins so no wear issue,just the idea of a...

I have photoshopped 3 types of alloys I fancy for my clk 320 I(metallic silver/gold), need help in deciding which ones would look good -

I have been looking at buying one as some of my jobs are up in the mountains and the W124 isn't up to it. Only want to spend a couple of grand and the searches keep coming back to Toyota Surfs. Age is pretty much irrelavent. Anyone have experiences of these or should I stay well away?

Hi After our recent accident, I have to face the realistic possibility that my car may still get written off. As i am struggling to find another E500 that has anything near the specification of mine, I am looking at alternatives and I have decided that I quite fancy a 4x4. My ideal...
