Fellow Petrol head I know, said Oh I dropped the spare years ago for a can of tyreweld, goodbye 25kgs of flab, quicker car better mpg etc. Small potatoes for sure but over a year, its sounds like common sense. Dumping the jack as well. just a thought. what does the board think of the...

And whats more frustrating is that the car isn't displaying any obvious symptoms. Its basically just feeling weaker and weaker everytime i need to use the 'power', and now its reached a stage where its just starting to annoy me. I've had that same MAF for 27,000 miles, but its not running a...

and the devil in me is lusting after buying an SL500. :devil: I find myself scouring the Internet late into the night, searching high and low for that elusive face-lift model with a five speed box, cream leather, in blue with a blue rag-top and panoramic hardtop for no more money than I...

Hi All, My names Robert and have owned my ML for around 5 months. In all this time its never missed a beat but recently has been dropping down to 7/6 cylinders, its becoming more regular now. I've replaced the Air Flow Meter, had it Serviced and the problem only gets worse. I really like...

Scratching my head over a problem with my 92 300D. On nights when temperature goes under zero, the battery totally loses its charge - not even enough charge to work the central locking... I thought it was a problem with a dicky battery cell, so replaced the battery and have a brand spanking...

Intermittent problem with the 500, three times over last two months, (twice with SWMBO and once when I was driving) she seems to lose power and the accelerator pedal feels very heavy after 2 to ten minutes this disappears and she goes goes back to her old self. Any ideas?

Hi My ml is losing kickdown a lot of the time. I have replaced the transmission fluid and the spacer on the plug socket into the gearbox although there was no sign of leakage. Its made no difference. The gears go up and down fine manually with the tiptronic. Sometimes the kickdown works...

I've had this problem for quite while now where my car loses water. It's very strange because it can go months not losing anything then all of a sudden it loses loads then back again to not losing any. Has been into the garage who had it for a full day and they couldn't find any evidence of...

Two problem that are bugging me, so all help would be appreciated please... Firstly, I have noticed my water light comes on every few weeks. Need to top the radiator up with quite a bit of water when this happens. There are no obvious signs of water leakage around the radiator or from visible...

My father had an accident last year whilst on the way to the airport. Basically he was sitting in a lane of traffic that wasn't moving so decided to do a U-turn. It was absolutely pouring with rain and he would have had my mum going ten to the dozen at him so I can only presume he was rather...
