experiences

Having been in receipt of the relatively newly stocked KESTRAL DAS-6 Dual Action Polisher, I thought I'd share with you my experiences.... You can pick your choice of which pads and polish products you want... personally I went for the Sonus pads and Menzerna Products (polishes). I actually...

Hello All! 1st post so please be gentle :) Hope I will be welcome! I'm about to take delivery of a C250 Cdi Sport Auto in the next few weeks - long story so won't bother you with details! It just came off the boat from Zeebrugge a few days ago and is at the holding compound at Boston...

Hi, My car came with a dealer-supplied warranty from Auto Protect. For what it's worth it's the "MBI Premier Plus", underwritten by Red Sands insurance. I've no idea if it's a good.bad/indifferent warranty and I haven't got the handbook that should go with it (I'll order one next week)...

:dk: Has any of the forum members had any experiences with ETA Car Warranty - they are a 'green' motoring organisation - generally ethically orientated organisations tend to be a bit more honest and upfront in there dealings - hence the question. Thanks.

Wife's descided she wants a 2Din dvd & nav headunit for here w203. :crazy: Was looking to get feedback from owners as to ease of use, problems, performance, etc... DVD and DVD control for headrest monitors is most important. Navigation not as much and sound pretty much not important. Pretty...

I went with some friends to MB world the other week, and between us I think we did all the rides (Mercedes experience, off-road, and AMG). We absolutely loved it, and will definately be going back for more. I was just wondering if there are any similar driving experiences people could...

After being so sure the CLS was a stayer ive got an itchy right foot that needs a C63 or an RS6 to scratch it, the Audi will cost us a holiday cabin in the lakes the minute I take delivery so its the C63 for us (unless a great deal pops up) Without trying we managed a 5% discount from a...

I would be interested to hear of owners of R129 Sls experience of battery ratings. I have noticed that the more accessories that are switched on the more likely one is to experience intermittant faults occuring! Might this be the first sign of a fault developing in an alternator? What should...

who has had a major crash, survived the crash and thanked his lucky stars it was a benz?

Guys, me again! More Vito and Viano questions. Did some maths and figured out that a Petrol V6 Viano/Vito is more expensive to run, but they seem to be quite a lot cheaper to buy, so I'm now pondering about putting the Petrol car onto my future shopping list. Does anyone here have any...

I've just moved to live near Lucky Motors and there is always an interested selection of cars parked outside (there's also a 911 specialist next door). As they're so close I was wondering if anyone had any experience / recommendation / complaints about them. Cheers JohnE

Anyone else been invited to a Boxster driving experience at Silverstone? http://www.porsche.com/silverstone/en/ I received an invitation through the post today. Suggests that I allow 2.5 hours for the experience, and 1 hour on track. Sounds like it may be worth half-a-day off work for...

Wifes always going on about getting a Porsche for her 40th not long to go now:D and i saw an advert for driving experiences where you get to drive a few supercars for about £250 and though excellent pressy for swmbo. So has anyone tried them or been on one similiar?, she has had a look at the...

Has anyone here purchased tyres from the online retailer E-tyres???? Having discovered a flat tyre tonight, and as all 4 are getting close to the limit I have decided to replace all 4 ASAP. Any experiences please - good or bad - or perhaps I should just go to Kwik-Fit?

I thought I would share my experiences with my car, as I have received a fair bit of help from these forums and want to pass something back! I bought a 1995(N) multivavle diesel saloon six months ago knowing it had been standing for a while and that there was no history. However the 125k...

I'm just thinking out loud here really... I've had my CLK320 for nearly three years now. It's a great car, (touches wood...) and I still love the shape, but am starting to get itchy feet. :rolleyes: I quite like the idea of a soft top, and I've always wanted a V8, so I'm thinking maybe a...

Thinking about taking my W124 cabriolet to Mercs Only in Hanwell, West London,(WWW.mercsonly.co.uk).... Any views on experiences/opinions are welcome as I dont know much about this specialist, seems reasonable & being very local to me are my reasons for considering them..... Cheers Dee

Hi All, Very happy to have Big Bertha back in my grubby mitts now, I'd just like your opinions and experiences on the quality of the gear change on the 4 speed Auto box in this car please. Mine's a 300D and, although the gear change is smooth under load and higher up the rev range, I...

I'm considering using Eurotunnel to travel to and back from France. Has anyone got any experience of just turning up and buying a ticket rather than booking online in advance? I know exactly when I'm going, but for the return journey cannot be certain of the time I'll reach the tunnel (a mere...

Hi there everyone Just wanted to share some info with other members... 1992 W124 230CE, covered 125K miles in great condition, still smooth and solid. However recent problemos: 128K miles - Gearbox failure ["band" inside gearbox snapped!!] now fixed 1100 notes later [gulp] 132K miles -...
