My son has his driving test tomorrow around noon. When doing the reversing around a corner manoeuvre he has been adjusting the NS door mirror so that he can see the kerb. Today he had a professional driving lesson & matey told him he couldn't do that. Seems odd in light of the way many cars...

Can anyone help me to understand the trends currently appearing in NEW Cars...?..e.g.: 1..... the driver can release his hold on the steering wheel for up to 30 seconds...WHY? 2... the car will stay in lane without driver input ? Why ? 3....the car will automatically stay at a safe distance from...

Hi folks. The aux belt on my '09 C63 shredded this morning - lost power steering, battery light came on. Fortunately I was less than a mile from home so made it back OK. My local MB specialist garage is 2 miles / 5 mins away and I'm booked in for Monday morning. The question is - is it OK to...

Hi All my 2014 C63 has sprung up two issues which I'm unsure are related. Basically, issue one is a horrible clunking sound when turning the steering wheel when the car is stood still (to get out of a space etc). It is a horrid noise.. it feels like the wheel is skipping across a sloppy or...

Thought I would put up a quick review of this after today's experience. If your kids are into cars it's a good treat.... Back before Christmas I came across an advert for a Youth Driving experience off road. I have a daughter who I thought might fancy a crack at that... Today was the...

OK, a legal question which I'll ask in a second. Some background....... my youngest daughters best friend passed her test less than a year ago. Around New Year, she was pulled over by traffic police and charged with driving without insurance. Apparently unknown to her, the monthly direct...

Hi, I have a 63 plate C250 and I have noticed whilst driving I have a slight wobble on the rev counter. It's only very slight but I was wondering if it's something I should look into? Roobler

Hi all Got the above which has appeared over recent weeks on the off side/driver's side. 118k miles on the E320 CDI 2006 V6. I've replaced before this both top and bottom ball joints on both front sides (last year with Lemforder units). Thought it was the wheel bearing as all other bits seem...

Hi, just wondering if anybody has any recommendations for driving experiences to buy? I was given a red letter day experience driving an Aston, or Ferrari or Audi etc, but also got the receipt! What have people done/or would recommend? I'm West Midlands/Welsh borders located. Cheers Sent...

I mean these: http://i1.adis.ws/i/washford/151225 Are they mandatory for driving in France? And also is it legal to drive with these when I am back in the UK, or would I need to take them off immediately after crossing back from France? Thank you...

Hello all . Got a bit of a problem with the old tank. The missus was driving today and suddenly without notice the engine cut out, dead as a dodo, and all the dashboard lights are on. She switched the ignition off and rolled to the side of the road. (without power steering) . Then apparently...
