Hi all. I went to msl on fri to have valve cover gaskets and 200 mph clocks fitted.. that place reminded me like something from fast and furious movie. Absolutely amazing place and acid and his brother and rest of his team are a great bunch of guys, they couldnt be more helpful. I can highly...

Hi all, Despite the issues with my s class, I've gone and got a 170 slk 2.3 98, high mileage at 145,000, but seems in pretty good nick to be honest, and for £1700 with new mot, I couldn't really say no. I've had a read around here for the past few hours, but I can't seem to find a...

Afternoon all, Got the lowering bug with my W203 already and am on the hunt for some coilovers. I haven't got the budget for £1000+ jobs nor do I want to go for £200 ebay specials. I've found some FK Highsports for £349 online which i think is a great price as most retailers want £500+...

On Saturday I was driving back home after lovely spent day with family and at one point had to refill tank asap. Since I was on M20 driving towards Dartford crossing on M25 you all know how many services are there so at one point when I was almost on vapours just after toll I had to stop and...

Hi, I'm getting too old for crawling around on all fours or back-shimmying, (unless it's grog induced, of course). Has anyone used a scissor lift that'll hoist a big car about five feet or so from the floor without fear of it dropping on their head? Any mobile lift, really. I would...

A friend is lusting after an Alfa Romeo Brera and I can understand why, hey are rather beautiful! She wants a diesel as she covers around 20,000 P.A visiting her parents regularly which is a 500 mile round trip, I have suggested she avoid the 1.9TDi as they have a lot of well documented...

We bought a used E220 S212 recently with Audio 50 Navigation, but it turns out that you cannot do full postcode search on it and there is no way to upgrade it to do so (confirmed by Mercedes). This function is critical for is, so we decided to change the car. We have had the car for 26 days...

Today, while driving down the M5 in what can only be described as a tremendous rain storm and very high winds, I came up behind a Citroen Picasso where the driver wouldn't go over 60mph, mainly due to the spray from lorries. As we crawled past one lorry the airborne water was enough to drown my...

Thought I would share this one ... Enjoy the exhaust grumble folks! How do I get this job??? Pure Driving Experiences: Final drive - PistonHeads

Well done Chet, i just had to thank this guy for taking the trouble to sort out a problem with a purchase. The story (abridged version). Last august i purchased some arrow style wing mirrors and gave the year of registration instead of the model year, subsequently i received the wrong part. I...

I would not recommend to use HIDS Direct Limited based on my personal experience. I ordered a canbus pro HID kit HB4 9006 55w specifically for the fog lamps with 8k bulbs to further upgraded and replace my existing 35W HID kit that I already had integrated in the front bumper. They...

I'm looking for any recommendations for a single seater driving experience at any circuits within a reasonable distance from Selby, North Yorks. Any suggestions welcome, but those based on personal recommendation especially so.

Hi all, Long time no see.... Unsure whether this is permitted to ask if anyone has had any dealings with Car Wise UK, Broxbourne. I have done the usual google and returned one concerning result but would appreciate any first hand experience if any. If not allowed to comment please PM. Many...

Howdo Guys, I'm somewhat concerned the oil from the filter will contaminate the MAF. I've heard so many conflicting tales & views over the years I'm really unsure about using any oiled filter, not just K&N. Anybody, with specific experience using one on the M111 or the M111 K ,it would be...

Just looking for comments from those lucky enough to drive cars fitted with AIRmatic suspension (NOT the hydraulic ABC as fitted to SL, CL etc..) When switching between the various settings (Comfort, Sport I, Sport II) how quickly do you notice the change in ride?

Having read many posts on this forum I have never actually posted. I have just had SBC pump replaced on my 2003 E320cdi so thought I would post my experience more for info than anything else. After getting the dreaded message I took car into main dealer for analysis and was told SBC had...

New E-Class on order and I've had the e-mail from the dealer pushing Gardex paint protection and the dealer chain's dent repair insurance. Can anyone provide any feedback, especially about cost? My previous experience of paint protection schemes is that thy are over-priced and poorly applied...

I had a good experience yesterday with Halfords ! Several months ago ( can't remember exactly when , but it was since I bought my C270 at the end of last year , so still less than a year ago ) I bought one of those electric tyre inflators that you plug into the cigarette lighter . The item...

Has anyone a quad exhaust conversion on a clk55? If so did you have the deep boot pan like I have? Did you have to buy a later model shallow boot to do it? If not was it loud as hell and drone like mad? Thanks

Driving clockwise on M25 about 7:30 this pm, approaching M11. Saw a 190SL, silver/grey, soft-top, hood up, LHD (or I think it was a 190 SL, having checked in Wikipedia). Only going about 50, so passed it, to admire in rear view mirror. Nice car! Number plate started off with 144 - don't...
