Guys - this may be old hat BUT: I got nicked in Scotland for doing over 60mph in my Vito Sport. I thought the speed limit was 70mph on a dual carriageway. But found that I was classed as a commercial vehicle and so my limit apparently was 50mph. I got so much mixed information about whether the...
So after a dreaded 'top up coolant' warning on my CLS63, I checked the water level and it's pretty much where it's been for the last 6 months Oil level has gone down very slightly if anything, not risen, no excessive white steam from exhaust even in this cold weather, only thing I can think of...
Any help will be appreciated if someone can guide me in the right direction. Mileage is 173000 km.
Transmission also makes a whining sound. Not sure if that is a separate issue though.

VW have been found guilty of using specific software to fiddle their smog emission test results. :o:o:o The cars ECU was programmed to detect when the car was being tested for smog emission as opposed to driving along the road normally and switch to a smog emission lowering mode for the...
I'm getting very fine scratches appearing on all windows of my 3 year old E class. Merc spec glass seems to suffer more from this than other manufacturers.What's the best proven methods to remove them that people have found?
Hi you legal eagles.
I am mad with rage. Two days ago in torrential rain I parked in a space between two vehicles not noticing that the van to my left had gone over his dedicated space so forcing each each car including myself to do the same.
When I returned an hour later all the...
Hi All
I can't believe the conversation I've just had!
In brief I parked in a rush and forgot to put my blue badge on display. I was seeing my consultant at hospital and had a lot on my mind.
Ended up with a ticket! Emailed explaining what had happened and heard nothing. Just received a...
hi
i replaced the ignition lock on the 1994 diesel W124 estate the other week.
Since then the central locking only unlocks the car, locking requires the drivers door pin to be pushed down.
also the lights left on buzzer no longer works.
Any ideas if there are any wiring or plugs i've...

Seems a bit extreme but prompted me to ask a question: are national speed limits now enforced by cameras on some motorways eg M25 in Kent? I saw the new Hadecs3 cameras flashing when variable speed limits were not switched on. I'd estimate the car in...
My 19 year old son is on a road trip around Europe ( a large car show in Woerthersee Austria, and down to Venice) however the edge was taken off the trip down by getting stopped in his 2007 VW Golf - fined 65€ for not having washers on his head lights ....

Hi,
I have a '95 W202 C220. It was fine all day yesterday when I was running around town visiting friends and shopping. Easily clocked a little over 100KM. Returned home late last night. There were no instances of bad/weak cranking or choking. This morning the car won't start. Here are some...
Hi folks,
At 60mph my gal is doing around 3400rpm and would love another gear. I don't think there is another in the transmission but wanted to post in case I'm missing a trick?
Many thanks.
Cleggy.
BBC News - Man in Bradford traffic queue given parking ticket
This just harvesting drivers isn't it.
It can't be right that a moving car just drives down the road and "snap" £60 fine please.
Text-driving fine to rise to £90 | IT PRO
Unfortunately I doubt that raising the fine to £90 will make the slightest difference to any of the total idiots who use their hand-helds whilst driving. For reasons totally beyond me, the police don't seem that bothered either. At best they may wag a...
Hi,
I need to sort the harness on my 1994 E280 W124. Would anyone have a knackered old one lying around that I could use? I want to take a duff one and use it as a template/connector donor to make a new one.
The part number is 124 440 5332, but anything close would be better than nothing.
Any...
so my E320 starts fine but then after a while start to get a bit of a judder from the engine some days its really bad at traffic lights some times have to slip into neutral so i can give the engine a bit of gas .
I am assuming this could be fuel injectors as it gets a bit better once the...

OK peeps. Time for another evening of fine dining and good company.
We've done curry frequently and had a wonderful Italian this year. Time for something different but just as appetising.
I know it's close to Christmas but Ian F will be up from Yorkshire and it'll be a great diversion for all...
Hi
I have an annoying problem with my 1995 w202 c200. Every now and then, when I start it up, it stalls. If I take the key out and put it back in and start it again it works fine. This doesnt happen all the time and I cant find any pattern to when it does happen.
Has anyone heard of this...
