hill

Lots of nice Mercs around the 'hood. 2 doors the the right lives a nice CL500 in silver and then 3 houses to the right lives a lovely blue 280SE 3.5 litre on a K plate. I will get some photos soon. The guy with the 280SE has a problem with his injectors and would like to know the Bosch...

It's old but still funny, mainly because Dom Littlewood is annoying. http://youtu.be/KJ-MPOUBNMA

They're back.................. The mobile revenue cameras on the A249 Detling hill north bound, just inside the national speed limit sign, to catch people as they accelarate up the hill out of the 50mph zone. They had a spell there about a month ago, must have been very luctrative for them...

Sorry for this possibly dumb post (I'm female so I am allowed at least one!!).:D Our other car is a Kia Sorrento Automatic and if the car is facing downhill and we then put it in reverse it will still hold without having to put your foot straight onto the accelerator but when we do the same...

I got back from visiting my family in Northumberland last night to find my work hack (Fiesta Sportvan) had slid down the pavement and was blocking next door's drive.... I moved it straight away and went to see the lady next door to apologise and find out what happened. She told me that not...

Gent's, if i park my car facing up a hill overnight it takes forever to start and strangely my command reverts to German. if i park facing down hill or flat all is well. the car is a CLK270 CDI 03reg

Quite by chance I spotted promotional posters for this while driving through Princes Risborough yesterday. Full details can be found here, but it looks like it could be an interesting day out. Incidentally, it was a minor accident at this event in 1925 that resulted in all motorsport on public...

Not sure if I'm allowed to talk about specific cars so I won't mention the number plate; There's an SL60 AMG parked at Tower Hill which I see quite frequently. Dark blue and absolutely frickin STUNNING. Immaculate paintwork, achingly gorgeous AMG dishes and sexy, sexy AMG kit. I look for it...

Anybody got any idea what the new swooping poles at the bottom and halfway up blue bell and detling hill are for?. Look different to specs posts which tend to go straight up and the top bar is at 90 degrees with the sameras on. Next to each pole is another straight pole with some sort of...

I have a 1993 190E 2.3 w/ 109k. It is in very good condition. This is the first Mercedes I have owned. The care seams to run fine compared with 4 cylinder cars I have owned. A little sluggish at low rpms (under 3000) but absolutely no power going up hill. You have to run at 4500 to 4500rpm just...

How do i perform a hill start in a tip auto w211? First time ever driving an auto. Do i apply the break. Leave it in "D" and then start accelerating. Or put it in "P", foot on brake, move shifter to "D" and then accelerate? Another question. What is the point of having "N, When you have a...

Hello, I haven't the time to visit Steve in Maidstone this year, and the car doesn't need anything other than a regular service. Has anyone had a service at this independent specialist? I am slightly suprised that the Search didn't have any results, since we have a lot of members in SW...

check out Danny on colney hatch lane by the total petrol station. Tell him the guy with the gold 230 coupe sent you. I promise you'll be happy. I'd marry him if I was not married, if I was female, if ......

My C200-202 (A) 1997 had an automatic transmission fluid leak recently. The leak has been ractified but the transmission now rattles loudly driving up hill. It looks like the automatic gear box has been damaged or is it the differential gear that rattles? What is the recommended repair...
