    W126 hesitation on acceleration - was it just dirty French fuel?

    I have just been on a 3 week trip in France in my 1990 W126 560SEC, and noticed a curious problem which oddly, seems to have almost disappeared since I got back. I've scanned the forum for clues, but don't quite know where to start with troubleshooting. The symptoms were: a) a slight...

    French autoroute "t" telepeage

    Just blagged myself one of these in advance of this year's summer drive to Monaco. Its a device in the windscreen that allows you to use the toll booth on the French autoroute that invariably has little or no queue. :rolleyes: . It works by direct debit and so no collecting ticket or having to...

    I have just received an e-mail from a friend in France regarding new speeding regs, it makes scary reading. Starting June 2003, if you're caught speeding 30 kms over the speed limit, you'll loose your license for three years. Apparently, this now also applies for all EC members. Speeding...

    The sound of my car horn has been a bit odd lately. At first it was intermitent but then it became permanent. Basically, the horn sounds "flat", as if its a french horn being blown by someone with a weak breath. In fact its more like a fart sound made by a clown. It doesnt do much favour to the...

    French auto routes & speeding.

    As I have mentioned previously, We have our holiday in the S/France in a couple of weeks. Now, although I saw no evidence of this the last time I drove in France (Paris to my front door in 4hrs!) I have been told this: When you enter a toll road your ticket is of course time stamped, then...
