With prices fuel prices pushing 130p already and looking at 140p by April, filling the fuel tank is becoming less and less amusing. So the question is, how can you save money on fuel - can you tune for economy, can turn your supercharger off, turbo charger off, can you switch a couple of...

Hi all,
This is only my second post. I found you all extremely helpful last time. I was going to buy an '08 C220 48000 miles with Comand and Parktronic for £20700 on finance. You all talked me out of it as finance deal was terrible, £5000 down, £309 per month and final payment, blah...

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...

I'm currently negotiating a PCP with an MB dealer for an E350 Sport Coupe. COMand basically adds about £60 a month to each of the 36 monthly payments.

I have owned a couple of SAAB convertibles in my time, and fine cars they are too. I don't currently have a convertible and I'm lusting after one again.........
The problem is (with a budget of £2K-£3K), could I buy a MB convertible which isn't a money pit? For that money, I could buy a nice...
Hi all
I'm close to privately buying a set of new wheels, and wondered if anyone has had any good or bad experiences with wheel couriers, and if they're worth the money.
I've looked at one I found on ebay and they sub-contract all work out, then you have to pay extra for insurance, so I'm...
