The car was 1st registered in end of Jan 2005 and had been properly maintained and moderately driven. Fuel consumption averaged 7.5l/100km or 37.7mpg. Oil used was Mobil 1 fully synthetic 5W50 without need to top-up between its 16K km oil changes. In early May 2010 and about 65,700 miles, a...

Just had my first A service today and they flagged up some damage to the tyre wall (outside face on the rear o/s). Tyre is a year old (like the car) and still has over 4mm of tread left so is in otherwise perfect condition. They quoted me almost £400 for a single tyre - 265/35/18/97Y which...

Hi Folks - Had an awful day. The baby got sick, my phone got dropped in her bath while trying to sort her out and when in town I dinked the near side door of my lovely new car against a bollard in the car park. It looks pretty bad on the bottom of the door and the skirt/ trim is also scratched...

Hi all, I've been meaning to address this damage on a C220 that I bought for a while, but only just got round to it, any tips on what to use and how best to touch it up? Thanks in advance.

Two spectators sustained minor injuries after this Mini crash in Australia!:eek: lC2oArZP8wg&feature

My darling wife hit a deer head on at 60MPH and did a fair bit a damage to my then immaculate W124...the deer didn't do so well. (Oh dear!) I'm after the main engine rad which also takes the cooling for the auto box plus the air-con condensor. Both brand new from Mercedes are around £600 so I'm...

Well, just to add to my brilliant driving luck this year (done a lot of miles though in my defense) last week I hit a fallen branch, which flicked up and dented my door and smashed the bottom of the plastic sill... Usual local bodyshop said "new door mate, insurance job"... So it's...

Picked up my car (SLK32AMG), from having the driver’s side door lock replaced - I drove home and put car in the garage and leathered off only to discover that during the process of having the door lock replaced, somehow the boot lid paintwork had been damaged and touched in by the dealership...

I bought a W124 E220 estate 4 weeks ago, 3 days later my neighbour reversed out of her driveway straight into the front of it as I was driving past so it spent the next 2 weeks off being repaired. I eventually got it back on Saturday and its doesn't look too bad at all, needed a new passenger...

I have my eye on another nice W124 estate that has had side impact crash damaged repaired, the seller has been upfront about it and says that it needed 2 new doors and to be pulled back into shape on one of those jig thingys. Is this something that I should just walk away from or if repaired...

recently bought a c180k estate classic 2003 with light front damage, but could do with a breakdown diagram of the front so i now where everything has to go,could anybody help where i could get a diagram from thank

So I have my 1994 W124 E220 a grand total of 3 days and my neighbour reversed out her driveway this morning straight into my path, resulting in a smashed wing and headlight, possibly the bonnet latch and maybe a shunted in bumper! She's admitted liability but I'm still not a happy camper, at...

It would appear that speaking to my Indie, the reason my Wheel was destroyed and the shocker exploded was perhaps a pot hole. Now I could understand this if either the tyre had gone down straight away, or the handling had changed. But it all seemed to happen when I got back in the car half an...

I drove my W169 today for the first time for a week. Now, when I brake, I have a judder as if there is something stuck on one of the discs. Is this likely to be a frost/salt related bit of corrosion which will disappear in time, or should I be looking for something more sinister. Any...

hubby was working at someone's house & a gust of wind blew his ladder over on to their car :doh:, a Fiat Multipla. i haven't seen the damage & no pics available (sorry), but i'm told it's 5-6 inches long, on the panel under a wing mirror & the paint has been damaged/broken. to cause as little...

Hello, Just read Podmo topic on his engine and the timing not proper, the question I have is that I did the timing awhile ago, got the tool but mess it up a wee bit and decided to finish it visually. The engine run better for sure, but if I did it a wee too far, would that be a worry or not at...

SWMBO has just come in with a face as long as a wet weekend in Dartmoor. As you know she has been using the CLK since we sold the Puma which as yet we have not replaced, mainly due to my work commitments. Anyway my first words,you've bumped the car answer NO but it will need bodywork :eek...

HI. the turbo in my 2002 W220 gave up the ghost the other day. When I put my foot down it accelerated well as normal, then there was a splutter and a cloud of grey/brown (not black) smoke out the back and now it's not working. I still drives ok. The lack of turbo is noticeable but the engine...
