dumb

Just removed the awful plate holders and metal pressed plates and found some numpty has just drilled the front one into the bumper, making a right mess. Going to have to be a Chipsaway repair I reckon. I`ve "touched up" for now till I can get it done properly!!

I've not been a car owner for very long but i bought a C Class in December and am smitten. The wheels are tired and I'm thinking about either refurbing them or buying new ones. What are the sizes I need to look for? I literally have no idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A man had a lucky escape after he used a petrol-soaked rag to light a bonfire - and created a fireball. He then accidentally kicked over a petrol can and the fire spread to decking and an outhouse. Two fire engines from Dartford and one from Thames-side were called to a garden in Button...

Hi everyone I'm really hoping you brainy lot will be able to help me out.... I have been a very proud owner of a 2001 208 CLK230 Kompressor for the past 4 years and I love it! It has just been through a major A service for which I'm still waiting for the bill (ouch). BUT... In order to...

I'm currently selling a car on e-bay and got the following question "Hi I am interested in this car, but because I live in Belgium I need left-side wheel. Is the wheel on this car on the right side (UK) or on the left (Europe)?" Seriously, I do wonder about some people, a) being a UK...

Hi everyone, sorry this is probably a bit of a stupid question but I've just got myself quite a decent old 1997 W210 E320 Avantgarde and although I'm assuming it has air conditioning I can't work out how to use it. My car has the simpler style of heater controls as shown here.... I'm...

Sorry to trouble everyone, bought a W211 last week, with Command and the bluetooth module in the centre arm rest. Phone recognises the module as UHI SN6300, then asks for the passkey, so i enter 62872 But the phone won't then connect with the car. Must be doing something wrong, any ideas ...

Hi, I have a RHD w124 and I'm going to tackle the servicing myself just because I like getting my hands dirty, and I'm budget :) I've got the Haynes and Brooklands manuals, and they state the bleeding sequence as: a) Right hand rear, b) Left hand rear, c) Right hand front, d) Left hand...

as title says just reading the manual and it states i should use 98 ron fuel in my 1990 w124 230te i understand this is the octaine rating but does the engine require this ? also as i live in cornwall petrol stations are dotted here and their down my end and most only have regular unleaded...

A blonde, wanting to earn some extra money, decided to hire herself out as a ‘handywoman’ and started to canvass a nearby well-to-do neighbourhood. She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do. ‘Well, I guess I could use somebody...

I heard on the French radio a few days ago that a British driver got done doing 142mph in his Ferrari, on his way to the Le Mans. The Gendarmerie gave him a on the spot fine and banned him from driving in France, living his wife to take over. Well, obviously undeterred by his experience, he was...

In line with another current post by Gollom about tyre shine & its effects, I wonder if anyone else out there has had some dodgy sounding pearls of wisdom or fault diagnoses given to them about their car. To start the ball rolling my wife had an ageing Chevette some years ago and was informed...

It appears that whilst putting some of the trim back together on my CLK (W209) I managed to drop a screw into the gear box selector :crazy: Whilst it doesn't appear to have caused any problems I am worried about it being in there! Any ideas how to get the thing out ? Is it likely to blow...

There I am on my GSX-R1100 of 90's vintage, cruising at 85 in the outside lane passing the sleeping commuters being calmed into near coma by Radio 2, when a pikey looking Turquoise Shogun decides to drift from Lane 2 to Lane 3, he is almost on top of my heavily braking bike before the shock...

Sorry guys, I know I said I'd try not to ask dumb questions BUT.... OK I have a 2001 CLK 230 Kompressor (6 spd manual) coming next week, I have done the deal with a 12 mth mechanical breakdown warranty which tbh is not exactly brilliant and has a £500 maximum claim limit, but as I was scared...

When I start up my mums BMW 318 it idles without the rev counter moving in the slightest, when I start my C200, for the most part it is still but it occasionally sifts down and up very slightly. I didnt have my car from new and I dont remember if it was any different when I got it but I am...

If i was going to get someone to change my tappets (230 ce 102 engine) what bits would i need to get ? God i sound thick :o
