I've had this message from a pal of mine looking at C63's - he's been put off by a comment he's heard:
.. I know why there is quite a few 3 year old ones about.... it's because they are being dropped at the end of the warranty.... his blew a coil pack.... which took the driver out in the...
So I've got a 2003 Audi (ban?!) a4 3.0 cabriolet, went to start it the other day and it just made a horrible noise a bit like what the starter motor sounds like when it's run out of juice but louder and the car wouldn't start. Tried jumping it, still the same... Oh **** I thought, something...
Just had our 2k CLK320 Cab into their shop after I popped stuff while changing a battery.
Fantastic service from them identifying and replacing the MAF at short notice, and at a price way below my expectations.
Cannot recommend them enough.
I've noticed that BC Racing have wheel designs that resemble other brands - namely HRE, Weds, Rays. The price is up to 50% less and they are forged.
Now I know that the real question in buying these is not so much engineering as all wheel manufacturers use CNC machinery these days but in...
Evening all!
Whilst driving through Norwich yesterday I spied this little beauty. I simply had to stop and photograph it.
While driving by I instantly thought "Ponton", but I can only remember a 190 and 220 Ponton being released - I noticed it had a "219" moniker on the boot.
So here's one...
Hello all. Ive been generally browing through websites and came across alloywheelexchange.com in which they will take your existing alloys and swap them like for like with another. Has anyone had any experience with them or know much about them?
Hi Chaps
Its been awhile since I last posted.
About 8 months ago I received a speeding notice. According to the humberside police doing 80MHP on the M118. I refused the fixed penalty and opted for the court appearance. This was 6 months ago and I haven't heard anything. Am I in the clear...
This happened to someone I know recently.
The car was parked, he was offloading some stuff out of the boot, key was in the ignition.
He was away from the car (it was not on the road, but on a quiet peice of land away from any busy road etc)... and he heard an almighty BANG.
Went to the car...
Hello,
my horn is really low... Silversallon gave me an old one from a 124 and it became really low as well...
Is there a Powerfull horn I could fit on the car, as anyone as one, mine at the moment is less loud then a moped and when I "tut" no one seems to hear it :doh:
I need to be heard!!! :p...
Guys,
I am out here in the Middle East at the moment and saw a brand spanking new White S Class.
When it overtook me, the badging on the back was S RS 7 with the AMG badge on the RHS where it normally sits. (The SRS7 was Spaced exactly like that). It was too dark for my crappy phone camera...
Yes its official--- England's World cup players are finding the official World Cup Jabulani Ball too "difficult" to play with.:o The new World Cup football is made from just eight pieces of shaped synthetic material glued tightly together.
The result is an undistorted, perfectly spherical ball...
My recent service included fully synthetic 'Planet' 5w40.
It says on the back its made by comma.
It meets A3 B3 SL Cf but does not say 239.3 (or whatever that code is)
is this still OK??
Cheers.
Apparently gearbox is knackered, got glycol in it so need radiator as well. Anyway looks like £2.5K+++ to get it sorted.
Anyway was searching around on t'net and dropped some enquires at a couple of the breaker web sites. Anyway, got a call from a company called 'engear' (Engear Engines -...
Lets have your dealer horror stories :)
A friend told me of his woes with his early ML diesel
At the 2 year point the glow plugs needed replacing and in the process the cylinder head was damaged and required removal to repair , after the repair he had only driven a few miles and got a...
