Hi guys. I'm new to all this, but here goes. My E230 estate ('97 P reg) has done 183000 miles but recently started playing up. When cold the car starts fine and idles properly for about 5-10 seconds. Then the idle speed starts to falter and drop, sometimes stalling and other times 'chugging'...

Hi all, Can anyone suggest a possible reason for the following antics being exhibited by my 1995 E230 (W210)? At the point where the engine reaches 'normal' operating temperature, the engine surges whilst driving. If I am sitting in a queue of traffic (in gear) the engine speed seems to drop and...

There is a W220 which I am interested in. Should not change, but the V8 is calling out quite loudly. Am wondering whether there is any interest in my old banger. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Sept 96 (P) registered. I am the third owner. Mileage is about 240,000 miles. The car was clocked...

Parked the dear old shed near the LSE last Friday (4 Dec 09) night. Mirrors electrically folded in. One of the the reasons I have a 13 year old P reg Merc is to not attract attention ... Came back after dinner around midnight, driver's door mirror hanging by the wires only. It had been...
