days

Hi all. My 211 E280 CDI showed 4000+ miles to next service (B) Trying to manage my money better; i came up with a cunning plan a couple of months ago... I changed the oil and filter, air filters, and air pipe (includes both MAF sensors). I then started keeping it garaged, to bring out only...

.....i think to myself i made the right choice :thumb:

Hello My wifes B class the other day said this C service 9300 miles, I took a pictures as I wanted to look up what a 'c' service is and the costs. Then today about 2 weeks later than above picture my wife comes in and says the dash board has a message 'C' Service due in 27 days. Is...

Not only did the old girl go straight through the MOT with no advisory's but just had a quote with Peter Best Insurance for £192.58 fully comp on a classic car policy with 5000 miles and a £250.00 excess (or would be £256.18 with a £100.00 excess) so am pretty pleased with that! :thumb: I'm...

...Seems to be my sons favorite saying these days, but I have caught myself uttering these words quite frequently. My W202 estate is feeling the effects of the 'Tin Worm' which for someone who washes and polishes his car enought to make the neighbours think ..hmmmm.. somewhat gripes me. . . On...

As many of you know, I'm looking for another car... I usually use HPI for my checks, as they offer 7 days free insurance with their checks... That said, this time, Primo said they can cover me if I buy the car, so that works out quite nicely! So I was looking for a cheap/by-txt HPI-type...

Apologies for the crappy mobile phone pic - but I thought this unusual

Came home from a hard day at work to discover SWMBO's car (2004 MK5 VW Golf) sitting on the drive with a window half open. "It won't go up any further" states JSWMBO who was cleaning the inside this afternoon in an attempt to get into my good books. Long story ..... not going there. I had a...

I am on a small touring holiday in Scotland next week. I will be based in Aviemore (staying 3 nights) - What delights should I not miss ?

I went over to Hughes in Beaconsfield to check out the new E250 CDI Coupe to replace my current CLK 270CDI at the end of the summer. Everyone has been telling me to keep the CLK as all I do is bash it around for work and it has caused me not one issue, but I wanted something economical yet...

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Decided that 'das beast' is ready to take it's bow in public, took me long enough to get it presentable! It's in no way perfect, but i reckon considering it's done 320+K, it looks good on it. Hope you like. :thumb:

I bought this today to break it (I wanted the engine). 300se24v I hadn't considered the fact that it may be too good to break, which it very well may be. 102k miles, 11mths mot, taxed, manual leather seats and no a/con. Lovely colour, drives well (if i sort the vibration-see other thread)...

Well what can I say, this will not come as a surprise to anybody but its a big thanks to Olly for endearing in what could've been a real episode! As most of you know, I now have a BMW :wallbash:. I asked Olly to do some work on it which proved to be more of a headache then we both originally...

Hi The battery on my SEC goes flat within a few days The battery was replaced last week and the break down folks checked it and said it was fine Do you know of any common problems with this Merc model that could be causing the battery to discharge so quickly? Also, I hear the pump leaking...

Hi All, get my new ML 300 CDI Sport delivered on Thursday and lets just say I am a little bit excited. It's my first MB, so can't wait. In fact I'm like a spoilt child and driving the wife mad with the wait!!! :wallbash: Just thought I say Hi to you all and look forward to chatting in the...

Arrived back in snowy London from the north about 10 days ago with a salted Mercedes. Cleaned thoroughly. Parked up in my space (on flat ground in P, parking brake not on) and found public transport a much better option for getting into C London since. Came to start up the beast this...

Morning all, has anyone ever been on one of these? any good? any recommendations? I've seen this one through Virgin Virgin Experience Days - Silverstone Race Track Day Was thinking of getting the old man one for Christmas? as i have no idea what to get him. Reading the details, what is it...

.. or is it a little too Daily Express? I'd love to get my car dyno'd on a reputable, reliable dyno with operators that have no interest in 'bigging up' any results.

I have spent 2 days giving my merc a good clean and please with the results :D. The process I went through was: snowfoam rinse wash with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss rinse dry off with Sonus Perfect Shine Drying Towel one coat of Chemical Guys EZ Glaze with Acrylic Shine II (a very...
