    First few days with new C63

    Well I now understand all the hype. I picked up my new C63 Coupe on Friday and I’m very pleased with it (well I would be):bannana: I flew down from Newcastle to Exeter and was kindly picked up by the supplying dealer. It sounds stupid for someone my age (41) but I was very nervous with my...

    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...

    Its a miracle people live these days

    Honestly, the dangers out there, People on twitter whilst driving, people driving around on part worn tyres, cars with DPFs removed, kamikasi police drivers, middle lane hoggers, injectors failing on diesel Mercedes, de-catted V8s and diesels roaming the country side, someone having a couple of...

    New member C32: 2 days and 1,200 miles

    Hi All, First post! (and brief story) Recently I bought a C32 AMG from a forum member. I had always lusted after one since reading the reviews in Autocar presenting statistics of 100 in under 11 seconds from a rather ordinary looking estate. When I saw this one advertised on the forum I...

    Happy Days - Passed MOT

    Took the old girl for her MOT this morning - went straight through with no advisories for the 2nd year running!! :rock: Also emissions were only at 0.45% which shows that the engine is in a healthy state - not bad considering she's on 161k miles.

    My first 10 days in the UK

    As the title says, and I started my job last Wednesday. I am getting along OK, the work is straight-forward but I am racking up the miles going to all the jobs. Plenty of water leaks meaning floors come up and ceilings have to be pulled down. All the time on the Motorways has given me a...

    £4-6k doesn't buy much these days

    My Saab has to go. Too many niggles to mention. Spent another morning stripping the inlet manifold to find layers of black gunk, the joys of EGR valves I think. Buying a cheap hasn't been successful this time around. So now I'm looking out for a £4-6k diesel car. This is the pick of the crop off...

    What Is A Good W123 Worth These Days

    Hi There Been recently tempted by a White W123 up here in the north east. In white with only 98k and a good, 1 owner history. Its up for £3k which I thought was pricey although I am probably more used to the W126 which seems to be in a cheaper price bracket these days. It is with a garage who...

    The days of water streaks, drying cars, etc.. might be over

    Wow! :eek: If this product is real and can be sprayed on painted surfaces then we might just be looking at having alloy wheels and bodywork that remain clean for a very long time, despite driving on a wet road. Though it's not clear how much dust/dirt will stick to the treated surfaces in the...

    W211 battery totally dead after 7 days without use

    A couple of weeks ago my wife came down to the car after work to find that it wouldn't unlock with the key fob, and if she used the physical key to open the door she couldn't start the car. Now, I suspected the battery was on the way out as it had been labouring slightly on starting for a...

    3 days of ownership and I am tempted to hand the keys back.

    What a sorry saga I have been through to buy my ML320. I have had nothing but hassle since agreeing to buy the ML and today the saga continues....... I wont go into all the other hassles but today's debacle just caps it all. The dealer agreed to install the Ipod interface in the car as part...
