Hi, I dont know what to do here, I stupidly bought a set of oem w204 facelift tails from Germany thinking they would be German spec. I installed them, all went nicely and then bam, the indicator leds are USA red, I was shattered.:mad: Any ideas on what I should do. MOT fail I presume and the...

I'm in the middle of planning a driving trip to North Italy in June. We want the journey to be as much a part of our holiday as the destination. I'm coming up with a few quandries and wondered what advice other members may have. Still not decided on whether to use a ferry or Eurotunnel to...

Hi all, I have a w220 s-class 320 2004 model and my command navigation system thinks it is in Germany and does not pick up my current location in the UK? I have tried the reset option on the command screen but to no avail. Is it possible that the optical laser is not reading the dvd...

I'm putting this post up for a friend of mine who wants to buy a E30 BMW from germany :crazy: but he wants to get the car picked up in Germany and delivered to his house/port. Any ideas on how he could do that?? Has anybody had any experiences bringing a car in from Germany and getting it...

As above, what sort of drive is this and what time would a round trip take?

Just got back from our annual visit to the wife's family in the south of Germany: Virtually all of that was the round trip ... we were mostly chauffeured around in the in-laws R350L The V6 Vito Dualiner is a great family vehicle :) 3 kids and 2 dogs on the outbound leg (the...

Look what's on sale @ Lawson for £10.95 + VAT + delivery. I have Wiha screwdrivers and L-keys in my toolbox and they are outstanding quality items that are still manufactured in Germany. Needless to say, that I ordered a set. A man can never have enough tools.

We are off to ze fatherland for a few days in August mainly to see a concert. I've never driven over there before. Anyone have any tips, I've already sussed out the unlimited autobahn sign :devil:

Just a quick post to say merc's atitude to goodwill repairs is not all bad. Noticed two tiny areas of rust in both rear wheel arches of my C55. So small it hardly shows on the photos. However, after being defeated by rust on my C36, i thought i would 'nip it in the bud'. So i went along to the...

I introduced myself in the first thread i made, but i think it's apropriate to do it properly :D Well, my name is David and i'm (obviously - see title :rolleyes:) from Germany. To be exact, from bavaria, but i am not a bavarian myself, i'm more a swabian myself, maybe that explains my...

Does anyone here have a bank account in Germany? I need someone who does to pay someone in Germany for a purchase I have made. I will pay you the money first via bank transfer to your UK account. If you can help please PM me. Thanks.

Anyone fancy a 2012 weekend trip to the home of AMG and/or the Nurburgring?

Hi, folks! :) My name is Marvin, I am 18 years old, from Germany. I'm in love with my 190E 2.3, I got it 2 months ago. It's my first car :bannana: It was only about €1,600 (£1,300) but it's in a very good condition, almost stainless. Pictures and some information can be found here...

I've a W124 estate, and will need some parts in the future, I have called MB and even after discount of %20 they are still expensive. I was wondering if it'd be worth either taking a trip to germany or even ordering parts from there. Would anyone have knowledge or experience of this being...

Our car is ready in Germany, but unfortunately due to work commitments I can't go to pick it up as planned so have had to ask them to ship it to our Dealer in the UK. :doh: The spec is as follows, for those that are interested: C63 AMG in Palladium Silver Metallic with black leather AMG...

Hi all, I've been working in Germany for a while now and currently drive a 1996 Mitusbishi Legnum VR-4 with a a few subtle and not-so subtle mods. Although it gives the German marques a few embarassing moments (0-60 is under 5.5 seconds wet or dry) it's starting to feel it's age and needs some...

All, I am due to be driving to Cologne at the end of the week, and as my W210 needs some injector/seal attention, was wondering if it would be cheaper to get it done there. Does anybody know of any garages in northern/western Germany that could be recommended? I know its a longshot and...

Were out driving yesterday and came across this little town (not far from Cologne). As bad it sounds, it's actually real!

Hello to everyone. I'm from Germany, althought I live all around Europe during the year, and I'm the prided owner of a W209 CLK. I'm very pleased of being part of this forum and I'm wishing to learn a lot of new things about our cars here. Thanks!
