long

Hi all - Happy New Year - It's been a while! Now between company cars, but Mrs B has another SLK, this time auto. Within a mile, the revs start to hunt.... Could be...? Electronics induced? Gearbox induced? Settles down after a further mile.... Appreciate your thoughts.

5 miles took 4 hours with shortcuts over untreated roads coming out of glasgow city centre into the burbs

.... hope to be an R230 (SL350 / SL500) owner in 2011 !! Hi All, in the final throws of being a porsche driver and want to move up to something slightly more refined in the new year. Seen loads of ads with page after page of spec but keen to understand what comes as 'standard' and what the...

I bought a used E500 coupe from a main dealer in England. The car only had one key and the spare was to follow later. 107 days later I had a spare that worked. It was a technical issue. BP sorted out their technical issue in 103 days. The Chilean miners had their technical issue sorted in 69...

OK - this isn't yet another thread about published mpg versus actual mpg nor is it a complaint (at the risk of turning some people off!) Just a query really - Have a diesel C200 and was just wondering how long it usually takes for these cars to loosen up and Mercedes in general? I've done...

I've read on here a few times that people reckon Pirelli tyres are soft and wear out quickly, also that the rears are shot after about 10-12,000 miles, but i have to say my Rosso's on my E280cdi Sport have so far lasted 26,000 miles and the rears still have a good 4-6k left on them. Strangely...

I have not had a car of my own for a whisker over 2 years - been using hire cars as & when and insuring using rental company's policy. Just bought a 2000 E320 cdi estate (ins value £5k) and got a quote from saga ( I know old git :) ) and was shocked at what they said - basically if I havent...

Ordered my mbclubuk badge a week ago - just wondered how long they take to arrive. Could't seem to find the right person to pm hence the thread here.

I now remember why I can't remember when I last visited a Post Office, if you see what I mean. If you don't, then read on; you will. At lunchtime today I wasted 45 minutes of my life trying to do what should have been the simplest of things. All I needed to do was to buy two envelopes and...

No GTG?:dk:

Hi, joined up in August 2009 when we purchased our CLK320 Sport. Previous Mercedes include a 1990 300 CE and a 1987 CE - both regrettably sold. About to purchase a lovely R129 - fun car, whilst keeping my van and the CLK for everyday use. So as you can imagine - I have lots of R129 related...

http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/insurance-finance/86328-why-has-car-insurance-skyrocketed-4.html Following on from the above thread I felt those with time on their hands might like some more background to the issue of increasing motor insurance premiums. The article is written from the...

Drove down to South Wales last week and on the way saw 47mpg after the first 200 miles. After 1350 miles of mainly motorway with the rest urban trips the average ended up at just over 45 mpg. Very pleased as my day to day driving gives me just 35 mpg.:D

No, I've not been naughty, just watching Road Wars :o and curiosity's got the better of me. One of the suspects was released on bail and disappeared so a warrant was issued for his arrest. Does this warrant last for life or does it run out?

Hi, So I've a little experience. Back at the age of 17 I crashed my car (1994 Peugeot 405), my parents said "if you want a car, you can fix the one you irresponsibly crashed". So I bought a Haynes and changed - bumper, lights, radiator, thermostat, bonnet. I'd love to learn more, I'd like...

:dk:You know when you have a nagging concern at the back of your mind that you wonder when the time could be up for your current exhaust - especially if its the original factory fit.The problem is as they tend to corrode from the inside,its hard to judge when its on its way out - generally when...
