Actually an honest question really. I've been on the lookout for a genuine W210 or S210 for the last few weeks and seem to be finding prices all over the place. I went to look at a 2002 135k mile S210 (E320 CDI Avantgarde with black heated leather) that was up for £4895, established I...

On my W220 when I put on the heating on in the morning when the car is cold the squealing and squeaking coming from the blower is doing my nut in. It seems to be a bit less of a pain if I put the system on to high but that might just be a case of not hearing it over the noise of the fans. It...

Now that the cold has set in my Air Con has started playing up. There is a strange sound coming from the passenger side of the dash when i increase the speed of the air flow. It is a rumbling sound and to describe it better it sounds like the Fan that blows the air is actually loose or...

My central locking has been making a sort of whining/whistling sound for a little while now. The sound seems to come from the general area of the fuel door. It never does it on locking, but makes this sound for like 20 seconds on un-locking. Then the other day I un-locked the car and there was...

I have been reading the forums and am a little confused as there are some contradictions. I have a 99 C200 W202 which i have just noticed is starting to show signs of rust bubbling on the inside of the front drivers wing, only very slight but nevertheless it is rust. Now i have read that mobilo...

Do car washes use rust making water ? Garage car washes have always had an element of recycled water I'm wondering how and if they get rid of the salt that is still lingering on our roads and gets into the water ? If in some areas there is a total hosepipe ban are cars being soaked in car wash...
