Over the recent years, the styling cues of, for example BMW and Mercedes seem to become so similar, i question if the whole world is fooled by the 2 companies... when rumours of a future alliance have emerged over the last 6 months, i question if there is some underlining synergy already?? and...

A BMW driver followed his sat-nav down a narrowing path until his car was teetering over a cliff edge !!!!! http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20090325/tuk-driver-led-to-100ft-cliff-edge-by-sa-45dbed5.html

okay symptoms on Natalies estate are as follows. Gearbox is in "D"; car stationary and foot on brake. Engine revs are "hunting" slightly between 500-1000. Feels like car wants to lurch forward constantly (not violently). Additionally occasionally around town (we have not driven it anywhere...

Hi all, please help, I've had this car for many months with this problem gradually getting worse and it's doing my head in! The symptoms are; at 60mph it runs out of power, but, then just for a few seconds it will come to back life! So far I have replaced the plugs, all leads, dizzy cap and...

I sent an email on 20 August to a specific individual in the service department of Mercedes Chester inviting him to requote me for a large B service (101,000 miles) on my W210 as two local indies had quoted £170 less than his quote of £619. As of yesterday 29 August I had not received either an...

I went to see a c250 td today. THe main problem was the lack of power. May be this is becuase im used to driving the e300td, but it felt like there was no turbo. From memory the turbo kicks in around 2000rpm, and the engine is not too responsive before that. On this car, its like your just...

Not one of those things that occured to me at the time of purchase. BUT, what if the key for the locking nuts are nowhere to be found? (about to rush out and search with a sweat). Can the wheels be released by the usual tyre outlets, or will the car have to be sent back to the factory and...

Have had a triumph today with my 1991 260E, many thanks to the chap who pointed me towards the over voltage thing on my posting a week ago. Once I had finally located the OVR thing - hidden under a black cover - - lo and behold the 10a fuse was blown... thinking I was on the brink of a Eureka...

Ive got a problem with a s-class I am working on. It has a lack of power. You can hear the turbo spinning up but no power. In my opinion the whistle from it is slightly louder than normal. I have so far tried: New air mass New EGR valve Removed the CAT and driven it Vacuum transducer...

Wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have a 2002 C220CDI W203 automatic with 67K miles on the clock. It seems very sluggish in comparison to my friends same car. When I pull away from a stop, the car hardly moves until I reach about 2K revs and then it goes, although it always...

W203 220 CDI will only rev to about 3k.Have renewed the obvious things.MAS,BPCV,BPS,as far as I can tell the vacuum system is ok,the EGR valve ok.Has anyone had a cat blocked,if so what are the symptoms.Has anyone had inlet manifold problems ie the flaps breaking and if so what happens.I know...

hi new to the forum i am right here we go, i've got a 310D W reg 2000 merc sprinter 2.9 5 cylinder turbo. just recently i've noticed a lack of power. usually the turbo whistle is very 'clean' and easy to hear a nice crisp sound plenty of power. but now the turbo does spin up i can hear it but...

Ive had the car just over 2 years and have covered 40k mles in it during that period, its now on 80k. The car been maintained regardless of cost, having recently had several of the front suspension parts replaced at a cost of £2k. The car had developed several faults, so i dropped it off to...

:D Just for info as i thought this may help other people with similar problems with supercharged vehicles I have had an on-going problem with lack of power after repeated hard acceleration, almost as if the supercharger stops working. This was always resolved by stopping the car and...

Hi All Another day another problem...... Since the last couple of weeks ive noticed the sound of the car has changed and now resembles a diesel!!! I had a mate sit in it over the weekend who actually thought it was a diesel!!!! Problem seems to be occuring from the exhaust and when the car...

Hi Guys having problem with my car a the moment can you help. today while making the daily trek to work decided to take a different route along the motorway. What a mistake that was. pulled out to over take a lorry while travelling at approx. 50 ish, pressed the accelerator to overtake...

Hi I wonder if anyone could help. On the way back from Perth today my 1998 300TD just seemed totally gutless, in town I could not feel much difference but getting onto the motorway there was no acceleration at all, as if she was running without the turbo. I pulled in at the first services to...

Let me explain. I've noticed that a lot of lorries, buses, coaches and other vehicles of late seem to be running with near bald tyres. I never used to see this - and I just wondered if the members of this forum felt it might be as a direct result of the cost of fuel impacting on the budget...
