So, I was using a Saab 9-3 as my daily car but having caught the Merc bug from my CLS I decided I wanted some daily Mercedes action. I had a bit of a hunt on Autotrader and this example came up fairly local. It’s an early 2003 and had 104k on the clock. Full service history, overall...

Evening Gents, My Dad has been ill for a number of years now suffering from epilepsy, COPD and more recently dementia has set in. Last week he began refusing to take his tablets and wouldn't let his care workers clean him and so we had him taken to hospital. Sadly on Sunday night he passed...

The stitching on the bottom part (pardon the pun) of the driver's seat of my Dad's W204, C Class has come apart. It's light grey Artico and I was after some advice about how to fix this. Is this something I could get an car upholsterer to do, or would it be better and cheaper to buy a new...

Well, I picked the car up on Tuesday and have given the interior a thorough going over but was only right the outside got a clean up too. It was actually pretty clean but given a pre-rinse using Valet Pro Citrus Pre-Wash, followed by a two bucket wash with Dodo Juice Born to be Mild. I only...

As I used my car for my daughter's recent wedding, I thought I might put up a few photos of the happy day. Pity the photographer was more interested in the bride. Can't think why:dk:

Hi, just want a little advice on the 1.5 A160 CVT. My mum and dad currently have a nice mk 5 golf with the DSG box but they are thinking of buying a smaller car and have been and looked at this car at our local garage Mercedes-Benz A Class 1.5 A160 Avantgarde SE CVT 5dr As I have read...

Just got home from hospital after my wife giving birth to my first girl. I had 3 boys and my wife had a boy and girl when we met 5 years ago. It took my wife over 4 years to talk me into having a baby together and although I said never say never when we met, i knew things would have to be 100%...

Hello Was speaking to my dad today and his SL which is generally parked in the garage (weekend car) had some water under the passenger arch the other day, The cars not been used and he wiped it off but then again today some more water. It is water and has no oil in it or anything. Any...

I thought some of you rockers might enjoy this....... Not to labour the point (I've written about this previously - so apologies), but to provide context to the thread, my son is 17 and unfortunately he's Autistic. He's still learning to play and is of average ability, but through his guitar...

Guys, the old boy is fast approaching 80 and wants to out his Avensis(praise da Lord). He finds the A class a bit 'Mumsie' (his words not mine, so no backlashes please) but likes the room and the ease of getting in and out of a B class. He drove a B150 and was very unimpressed with the power...

My son, who has been mentioned on here before, makes YouTube videos of his favourite bands/albums. About a fortnight ago he did his “top three albums of 2011” review and rated Alestorm as being his favourite band of the moment. Alestorm are a very popular band (in the Metal genre) - you can...

Recently I posted about my autistic son (16) and his love of guitar and performing. I hope that you don't feel this post inappropriate, but I just love him and wanted to share it. He walked into the venue last night, in silence, avoiding conversation by looking at the ground. He sat in...
