death

aaaaaargh - Josh's PC has suddenly gone into an eternal circle of shutting down, only to restart automatically - if only it would fully restart. Instead it brings up the screen giving you the options of safe mode, safe mode with networking, last safe config, normal etc. Select any one and it...

Is it a bike or is it a plane? Yes folks its the ACABION! As described by Jalopnik here:- http://jalopnik.com/index.php?refId=346916 Top speed 340mph O-300MPH 30 seconds:eek: They don't give life expectancy figures but I expect them to pretty low also. :rolleyes: And as for the baby...

Mrs D has been feeling unwell, I was late home from work, and so Colonel Sanders cooked dinner tonight. To avoid a pocket full of change, I reached into the cupholder area in the centre console (W203 C-Class) where the coin tray is. There's a light in there from around the cigar lighter...

Here's a car that scored nil points in the German ADAC crash test :crazy: Jiangling Landwind which should be called the Jiangling Landfill rubbish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIpDXA1Zv6s New C-class: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn185e-R0ek compare that with the Brillance BS6. The BS...

After functioning for many happy years (5 or 6) my home-built PC said that the hard drive was inaccessible. The household toddler has been playing with the power button a lot recently, so we can blame him. We need a reliable machine urgently, and I see that Maff just ordered one from Dell...

Occasionally, about once in every ten drives, when I switch the engine off, it continues to rattle and splutter for about 3 seconds before it dies. This is completely random as far as I know, it sometimes happens after a long journey but also occurred recently while the engine was still cold...

I was rudely awakened this morning by the sound of a car crashing outside my house . When I leapt out of bed and looked out the window I was met by the sight of a Toyota Corolla protruding through my garden wall and embedded into the side of my 300TE-24 :mad: Worse still , my car had been pushed...

DaimlerChrysler to buy out McLaren? From 4CAR DaimlerChrysler is considering buying the 60% of McLaren that it does not already own, according to rumours in the German media. DaimlerChrysler bought 40% of McLaren in 1999, as part of the programme to develop and produce the Mercedes-Benz...

With the recent thread on the compressed strength of MB springs I'm wondering what happens when the spring perch fails due to corrosion like this US car. At parking speed it must be contained by the wing but at high speed there must be a danger of the tyre being shredded and/or the steering...

You will all be very sad to hear that my engine died last week. It was a sudden death and was unexpected. The post mortem will take place after Xmas but food poisoning looks to be the likely cause, it ate its own tappet buckets! If anyone has a 250D (602) engine to fit a W124 in a corner of...
