dilemma

One of my cousins is staying this weekend with his wife and his 18yo twin boys, both car nuts. They were so looking forward to surprising me with the new car - a week old E220 CDI sports coupé with pano roof and AMG kit. That is, until he filled it with petrol two days ago! He and the car were...

Guys Got some decision making to do and as always appreciate input from the forum ! We have a 2000 Ford KA work horse (rust, leaking, noisy) but we love it and I can put a length of 2x4 in it. I (I saw I and not we as SWMBO doesn't entertain the idea of driving it) have the W202 which...

I am considering a new car, I am looking at a CLS 320 Any advice would be much appreciated.

My son is 17, first car, insured with Insure the Box and no modifications allowed. As a concession however they have allowed him to fit whatever wheels he wants (he was 150,000 customer and so they relented on their rules). He has a 2008 Clio 3 and for Christmas we bought him some BBS style...

Been looking around at cars and have spotted a few W212 in E220/E250 CDI Sport trim. Is there any of you can offer your real world economy with the 4 cyl diesel in manual and auto spec please? The more I look at the W212 the more I feel I would like the gravitas and elegance of the larger...

Just got myself a 94 E220 coupe. (180,000) Has no history...just know that it has stood for two years. Engine starts and revs but have not drven it yet as gear box has an oil leak and no drive. What do members think is the best course of action. Buy a low mileage E220 (say 100k) and swap the...

spellI find myself on the horns of a dilemma, and no matter how much I think about it I can't come to a decision one way or the other. I've decided to eat breakfast. However, I am torn between two cereals. Without giving too much away, plate A consists of Frosties, while plate B is Rice...

I find myself on the horns of a dilemma, and no matter how much I think about it I can't come to a decision one way or the other. I've decided to buy a number plate for the Fabia as none of those I have on retention is really suitable. However, I am torn between two plates. Without giving too...

Just my luck my friend wants to purchase the exact same CLS as me same color, same year same everything. Now if it was a different color I would not mind but he is adamant the CLS only looks good in iridium silver. Now normally I would not mind but this has been my dream car for a while and for...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping for some advice if possible.... A colleague of mine has a 1996 CL500 with a smidge over 105k on the clock. The car has just been taxed and MOT'd ready to sell but last week the power steering pump went and needs replacing. The dilemma is that the estimated cost to...

I'm selling my S210 320CDI. I had a back operation a couple of weeks ago so I'm in no fit state to accompany a potential buyer on a test drive. What can go wrong? I'm assuming that if I give the keys to someone and they don't return with my car, I've had it? I have thought of getting a...

Hello my fellow mbclub members. I have willow132 coming round on the 22th to conduct a star diagnosis test to see if anything is wrong with my car for peace of mind as I have been getting low MPG mainly round 21-22.7. So today I unplugged my MAF and drove the car around and the MPG was...

Hi knowledgeable folks, The MOT lapsed on my W208 on 29th Dec as I was spending Christmas/New Year abroad this year for the first time and totally forgot about it, stupid of me. I went along to a council run testing centre earlier this week - basically they can only do the tests and do not...

Hey guys and girls just wondering what your opinions are on these two wheels for my E350CDI Cabrio, I can't make my mind up on which ones to order. Though I am open to new ideas for different makes of alloys I've been told by a few wheel shops and the owner of the one closest to me that the...
