Does any one know if all the '500' engines after a certain year had the cylinder shut off technology, where the engine uses only 4 of the cylinders when not on full load ? Or was this an optional extra ? Pretty sure the CL has it as it gives really good MPG on the motorway whilst cruising...

I'm heading off to test-drive a March '05 E280CDI estate over the weekend, which the stealer tells me is the newish EU4 spec. (I'd thought that the EU4s only came in late last year to be compliant with the mandatory EU4 requirement from Jan-'06). Anyway, I read somewhere on the forum that the...

I have just started a forum for hauliers and drivers of HGV's. How can I put it into search engines to attract more members? Any ideas?
