    making a W124 feel "tight" again

    Hi My green 1994 W124 has suffered over the past couple of years due to me having other things to focus my time/efforts on. However it now feels truly like an old banger. Whereas my wife's identical car feels much better and solid feeling. Its a shame but I have also even thought about...

    W221 S-class COMAND not fading music when making navigation announcements

    My old W211 E-class COMAND gave me the choice as to how much the music should be faded (or muted) while the navigation instructions are being spoken. On my W221 S-class, I can't find any such function. The navigation volume and music volumes appear to be completely independent of each other...

    2002 W203 CDI Auto making untraceable noise on acceleration

    Just wondering if anybody has come across this problem. When I accelerate my car I can hear a noise coming from some place in the engine bay.

    Making a 210 320cdi more economical

    Bored stiff with small cars, I drove my 210 into and out of London today to pick up a lot of wine and heavy wine racks. Driving in a very relaxed fashion on the M4 was fine but then nose to tail and stop start traffic was horrendous and in the end I averaged 38mpg door to door - about 40 miles...

    R129 roof making odd whistle / whir when operating...

    Noticed over the weekend that a new noise has appeared whilst the roof is in transit... either up or down... no change in movement / speed / operation in any way... so is this something that needs lubrication or am i about to discover the pain of failure?
