Hi detailing lovers!! I'll start from the top. The owner of this car first contacted me with a view of tidying up the paintwork on his mother-in-law's Merc C180. When he arrived I quickly realised this was going to be no ordinary detail! I inspected the car throughout when my client got here...

Hi all, my 210 320 CDi has sprung a major diesel leak to the lower left (turbo side) of the HP pump, it has has a new set of return hoses some 6 months ago so I don't think it is them, it is not a drip but a continuous stream once the engine is running. Any ideas or pointers before I...

Hi, due to the cooler pipes rusting thru I think I lost most of the ATF in the gearbox (98 C280 722.6). I drove about 60 miles experiencing the usual symptoms, losing drive, flaring, not selecting any gear etc. I topped up the levels but noticed a burnt smell coming from the filler pipe. Have I...

We don't need to delve into the popularity of Gordon Brown, but today's revelations that News International have 'hacked' into the then Prime Ministers bank accounts and 'found' evidence of his sons disability is a national security issue, surely? How could the secret services not know about...

Been working on this lovely clk 200 sport the passed 2 days, it was suffering after a poor finish from a bodyshop, the paint had not been flattened or finished off correctly and was in need of some TLC. Here is a 50/50 shot to show the difference, part of the door and rear qtr compounded and...

Hi, I just been told that the catalytic convertor on my 2001 CL55 AMG has had it. I heard a knocking/rattling which sounded like it was coming from the engine. The car went in for the MOT today which it passed with flying colours. I mentioned the rattling to the garage owner as I know him well...

Hi All I have had some major issues with my C32 and will take you through them and what was done to rectify them. Before talking the car to George Fraser I changed the intercooler pump to a Johnson type as mine failed and it felt like I was running on 155BHP :) Back in Nov 2010 I had a major...

Just had a major service with new pollen filter and diesel filter fitted. What exactly is the difference between a major and a minor service apart from the bloody cost. £389 for service, £98 pollen filter ( £75 just to fit it,wtf ) and £50 derv filter. Seems to me they both have oil and filter...

We wanted to make some changes to our telephone lines at work. The person in charge called *** major telecom provider *** and explained what we wanted. Got the guy's name and a reference number. A minute later, an email arrived. Very nicely laid HTML with lots of info and contractual...

I have had starting issue that has got progressively worse for 6 months and a constant smell of diesel from the engine. I had all the fuel return pipes replaced a year ago. Overnight the fuel seems to drain back to the tank as it taking 1 and half ignition cycles to start from being parked...

When going along I get a "WALALALALALLA" noise. It doesn't change in volume much but the pitch changes. It's as loud as the diesel engine! It's from the rear, so that's bearings, diff or prop shaft? Today I jacked up both wheels and had my mam rev the engine while I went under with the...

It appears I am not the only one that's noticed the shortage of new cars on sale in showrooms round the country. :eek: OK if you buy the only one sitting in the showroom in a colour you don't like, overspecced with unnecessary gismos putting thousands on the list price, and not a V6 petrol in...
