    Rattle is driving me nuts!

    Bought a 61 C63 estate in February just out of warranty. I noted a rattle in the boot area when I bought the car. It was bought from a non-MB dealer and had a full service by MB before purchase. The rattle sounds like the doors on a wardrobe rattling. It's mainly heard at low speed over rough...

    Still a daily driving defector

    Still haven't come back to the mercedes realm with my daily driver. After 7/8 months of hard driving and towing up to 3.5 tonnes on 400/500 mile trips it was time to change cars. Time to part exchange it in and get smaller daily. Ended up with a 2005 530d M Sport. Current thoughts, love the...

    Driving a convertible in the rain with the roof down.

    This must of happened to someone. Driving down the motorway on a warm day with the roof down and 20 miles to the next junction when the sky's open unexpectedly. I have noticed that in the war films the high ranking German officers usually have the convertible roofs down whatever the weather.

    Speeding Is The New Drink Driving

    Not using a seat belt Drink driving Drug driving Using a mobile phone at the wheel Do any of the above and you are a pariah and quite rightly so (though to a lesser degree with seat belts). All have been campaigned against, with varying degrees of success. I'm convinced speeding is receiving...

    Re insuring car - points v driving course

    I was really annoyed today doing the reinsurance of my car that Admiral and a few others insist on being told about attending driver awareness courses in lieu of points. This wasn't 'the deal'. The admiral insurance jumped 25% on disclosure of a 2yr old speed awareness (35 in 30 as...

    Driving your pride and joy in the winter

    I've always had the work van, a family car ( what I call the Mrs car ) and a weekend car. At the moment the c63 sits on the drive all clean and if I run the kids to school or football I jump in the wife's car or van. I always walk past the merc and think I'd love to take it but always decide...

    Immobiliser light stays solid while driving.

    Morning guys, I'm new to all of this and a complete novice with cars so you'll have to excuse me. Basically through a turn of events, I've now come to own a 2002 Mercedes C200K Kompressor, Sports coupe. It's the 2.0 litre, manual. Part of owning this car (and so cheaply) is due to a few...
