I bought myself a 110 cdi vito on a 52 with 100,000 miles. a great economical drive I heard. I am gettng terrible fuel economy. I put in £20 this morning (i know fuel is at an all time high) which filled it to just over a quarter, drove down the motorway and back for work like an old man at...

when i bought the car i was told the rev counter didnt work, but ive noticed in the last week every now and then the rev counter will suddenly start to work, some times showing the correct revs and sometimes suddenly dropping back to zero while im driving. i probably need to replace it but was...

Greetings one and all, i have recently bought my first mercedes in the form of a 51 plate ml270cdi(facelift) 65,000 with full service history, some mb some not. Whilst i am very happy with the car i am becoming increasingly frustrated with the climate control/air con. When i bought it i checked...

A guy bought it on finance in the foreign country (he was living and working there at the time).came home for a visit and the car was vandalised so it was left in the uk, he then lost his job and moved...

Drove to Cardiff from Plymouth this weekend on this....well....i only noticed it had gone when i went to come home this evening....lucky it did not blow out on motorway.... Having had the car only a short while i had not even thought about tyres....checked them all now though.... These...

I've looked at a few cars recently that had dodgy LCD displays in the dashboard. They were the small one in the left hand side that shows the time and the small one in the right hand side that shows the drive posution (1,2,3,4,d,ETC). Not all the pixels were showing. One of the garages...

Can anyone please help a new MB convert. This weekend, my parking brake release appears to have 'detatched' from the main parking brake mechanism. The plastic release handle is completely 'floppy' and has no effect upon the parking brake. The parking brake did release before failing...

Yesterday my rear passenger side window regulator gave up the ghost. On removing the door card I discovered that the operating cable (like a bike brake cable) had corroded and snapped. I just rang the stealers and they will only sell me a regulator and motor combined for £170 plus vat. This...

I've been thinking about this lately, and I was wondering what you guys thought. When I bought my car, the seller had put a new MOT on it just three days before I collected it. I was aware that it needed some work, but some of the issues I would have expected to be an MOT failure, such as...

Vauxhall Omega traveling along the M6 today. Note the red lights in the rear window. These were temporarily attached to the rear headrests and the rest of the car wasn't dressed as a Police car, nor were the occupants. What do you think?

Hello! Being a former SAAB enthusiast (9000 era) disappointed by the quality/lack-of-character of the newer models, I've decided to go for a Merc this time. For the past month I've been evaluating the options of buying a W140 CL 98 or 99 model. However, this week I stumbled across an...

I still find it amazing how many illegal plates you see in central London, bearing in mind that the con charge relies on ANPR cameras. I just walked past a black Range Rover wearing "A S CHY". All in the standard font, no dodgy bolt heads or anything. Just some "creative" spacing you might...

I have a wired USB Microsoft 3000 optical mouse, but whenever a nearby mobile telephone rings the mouse dies (technical talk) the red optical light switches off and the icon thingie doesn't move. the only way for the for little mouse to work is to unplug the lead and re-insert it into the...
