This morning there was a fairly thick frost, and the car had been parked outside overnight. I pushed the headlamp wash button without thinking, when it didn't spray I gulped and hoped there was no damage. This evening driving home I hit the button again to test if there was any damage and...

I don't use the Sat Nav that often however, when I do come to use it, it always seems to be frozen. The only solution is to unplug it and plug it back in again. Anyone else have this issue? I'm on the latest software from Becker.

Well that just about sums up my trip to the BTCC media day at Donnington. Left a 9am and three hours later after 175 miles I acheived 50.5 mpg, only 50.1 on the return journey as a bit more traffic, since we covered going home from work time. This was in my W204 200cdi with the Brabus chip...

Any good remedies for ensuring the window/mechanism doesn't freeze solid so when you open the door and the window tries to drop it is able to do so? Been pouring tepid water over the drivers window before opening but I think this is actually making things worse as water then freezes under the...

I'm going to write to my local council to complain about the freezing fog we have here in the Midalnds. I believe it's all down to the members who told the highways department to get rid of the fog clearing machines as they felt it was unproductive to have them standing around for 300 days of...

Now that the cold has set in my Air Con has started playing up. There is a strange sound coming from the passenger side of the dash when i increase the speed of the air flow. It is a rumbling sound and to describe it better it sounds like the Fan that blows the air is actually loose or...
