modern

Hi there I joined today as this looks a great place for info and advice regarding my prospective purchase of a 90's MB. I've noticed a couple on the Classifieds but obviously can't contact the members so if Jukie and Maggot see this then please get in touch!!

Nothing wrong with them as such per say, if you take my missus's new shape ford galaxy, nice car, fast diesel, 40 plus mpg for a large bus BUT reversing out of my drive its like a poxy mobile disco, front parking sensors beeping away, rear parking sensors beeping away, bluetooth warbling and...

Ok... so those of you who know, and now for those who don't, im not exactly the biggest fan of the current line up of models coming out of Stuttgart.. or which ever American town they seem to be building in these days.. I watched a car review and it enlightened me! Mercedes No long makes cars...

Interesting thought, luckily (at present) it's not as scary as it may sound... BBC News - Hack attacks mounted on car control systems

With all the tales of woe regarding reliability, rust and build quality etc, I wondered which MB is considered the best of the bunch in terms of these variables? Asked the same question at my local garage, who have seen a bit more of my current car than I would have liked. Got a very clear...

A colleague at work has been talking about buying a Mercedes ever since I started working there 6 months ago. I've lost count with the number of Autotarder links I've sent him. Up to now he's wanted a SLK (R170). But then yesterday it was suddenly a CLK (W209). Always happy to help other people...

Without wanting to take anything away from these great cars, I wonder if they'll be future classics? I guess I'm looking at the W202/208/210 AMGs mainly. Only reason I wonder is that I ask myself what makes these cars notably different from the mainstream models - in terms of equipment...

I've had a 190 16V, a 190 2.6 and a W124 280E on classic insurance (approx £100pa) over the last year or so. The 190s were '80s and the W124 is a '93. But does anyone here run a performance car from the same era on modern classic insurance? Something like an R32 Skyline GT-R? Honda NSX? Or...

Is it me, or are modern cars too complicated? Reading though the threads in this forum, it seems to me that modern cars (of all makes, not just MB) are way too complicated. Sure, it's OK when they are new but as they get older, how is anyone going to maintain them? I read (if I'm correct)...

Following a discussion down the pub with a mate looking to buy a newish used diesel, it kind of got me thinking as to whether state of the art modern diesel engined cars are just future financial liabilities and whether you are better off just buying a petrol engined car as it appears that...

Or at least according to this MSN journalist. ;) http://cars.uk.msn.com/News/Top_ten_article.aspx?cp-documentid=7476483 whether you agree with him or not he makes some interesting observations such as the following. "The classic example is the Golf GTI. The Mk1 weighed just 840kg. The current...

I have a C240 W202 and would like to update the lights front and rear (as well as the grille) to give the car a more contemporary yet still understated appearance. I have seen some nice looking lights on ebay which would make the car more attractive: - Clear lens front turn indicators - LED...
