    It only lasted 5 days !!

    Bought a 300-CE 24v as a project car a week ago today: Drove perfectly once hot, but was hard to start when cold and had various other minor issues to sort. Was on my way to a local garage to sort out a replacement fuel filter on Friday when a vw crafter flatbed pulled out of a side road...

    Driving days

    Since I got my car in March 2012 I have been invited on three driving days. Two by Audi and one by BMW. I have yet to be invited on a Mercedes one. Poor marketing strategy by MB or is it a case of they've had my money and so the jobs done? You would think that they would want to encourage brand...

    Electronics in MB - better these days?

    I've heard that MB used to have more fault-prone electronics in their cars prior to 2007, is this true? If this is in fact true, is the year 2007 correct or how is it possible to know how to check it when buying a used car? Is it the same for all models? Also, what kind of problems could...

    For the sunny day(s)

    About 4 weeks ago I took my K8 gixxer for MOT. The dealership had a nice and shiny, limited GSX-R1000Z, limited edition on display. Cut a long story short, it is no longer in the dealership, it is now in my garage :)

    What a difference a few days make!

    Just before the end of March I was toying with different car options, one being to break the vow of a lifetime and go down the lease route. So, finally made a choice of car, checked the sites and WOW! The new quarter has brought prices that are at least double the amazing deals at the end...

    Five power cuts in two days (East Mids)

    As above, I've had five outages in the last day or two, momentary but enough to reboot PC, stop clocks and interrupt the central heating. The odd flicker is one thing but five in 24 hours? And I missed a chunk of the ODI on TMS this morning because the alarm didn't go off... I know we had half...

    One of those days today....

    So today things have not been going my way. 1. I spent all day trying to change various lorry axle parts. After 8 hours of swearing at it, sledge hammering, heating up with the gas torch, more swearing, it finaly gave in and came apart. 2. On my way home, some chav in a renault pulled...

    Did You Ever Get One Of Them Days?

    I know how Elvis feels; Took the car in for tracking because it was pulling a bit more to the left than usual, found an egg in the inside sidewall of one front tyre and a nail in one of the rear tyres. I don't like repairing punctures or replacing single tyres, so I've had to put a full...

    C43 owners - done any track days?

    I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has used a C43 (or indeed just about any Merc/AMG!) on a track day and how it went. Did you have any particular issues or did the car hold up pretty well? Did you have brake fade problems, ESP spoiling fun, shredded a pair of tyres in a day...
