Hi Everyone,
I have agreed to visit a friend in a few weeks time, to help get his 1992 190E 1.8 presentable for sale. He should really have sold it years ago, but it was his retirement death car* so he has a strong attachment.
It has sat in his back yard for the past two or three years...
Tomorrow I go into hospital for a 6 hour operation to remove a tumour, shorten my oesophagus and relocate my stomach upwards. I cant say I am looking forwards to it, its not so much the actual operation more the initial few weeks after it. I will be in hospital for about 3 weeks and convalescing...
Today my W211 has moved on.
It was an E240 AG at a couple of weeks under 8 years old. I've had it for almost exactly 82 months - 2 months under 7 years. It was bought at just over 13 months old as an AU car. I covered 62500 miles.
Facts and figures.
The car effectively depreciated by £17500...
Hello all, just thought I'd post a quick update on my new ride. With just over 1300 miles on the clock, the car is proving to be an absolute joy. Here are a few short and sweet observations:
Negatives:
Although it's a good looking car it's not really a head turner, most people don't look...
I took delivery of my W212 Sport Estate at the end of September and it's been a superb car so far (although the MPG isn't close to what MB state, will wait until fully bedded-in to make a judgement).
Anyway, car's now done 1800 miles and a few weeks ago I spotted the front and rear calipers...
I've had my ML63 for 3 months ish now and have covered 5k miles.... So what can I say about it.
It's everything I want in a car, I got bored with the 911's as they had no real toys and I like my creature comforts, things were also getting dangerous driving them with my dodgy legs..... The ML...
Hi Chaps
Its been awhile since I last posted.
About 8 months ago I received a speeding notice. According to the humberside police doing 80MHP on the M118. I refused the fixed penalty and opted for the court appearance. This was 6 months ago and I haven't heard anything. Am I in the clear...
My E280CDI (W211) has just been returned to the road after a 12 month layoff. Both batteries were disconnected during this period and trickle charged in the garage, but reconnected every 3 months and the engine ran for 20 minutes. Now having got the car Taxed and MOT'd, I have two faults that...
My second car is a peugeot 107 which my wife uses to commute to the train station. She is a teacher and in summer she does not need a car. I seems a waste of money to have the car insured over the summer months when it will NEVER be used. Car would be taxed, garaged and out of the way during...
Gents,
Had a classic car policy on one of my vehicles with Peter Best Insurance Services, which I sold, and was awaiting a refund for the remainder of the term.
Chased it up this morning to be told that in the smallprint it states that there is no refund after 6 months :mad:
Typical of...

Sorry can't add the link, could someone kindly put it on for me.
I thought it had been sold.
Just picked up my '95 e300d plus mot certificate after its repair work. Rear and centre exhaust, bottom wisbones, top shock mounts and a couple of brake pipes. Not bad for a 206k car.Engine emissions and cat were fine, which was a consolation. Just need to change the engine oil and all filters...
I bought my facelift 2007 W211 E320 CDi Sport at the beginning of December and have covered a decent 3,500 miles in that time. This average will go up greatly over the summer with trips to the coast & other family jaunts planned.
Since purchase the only 'parts' I've replaced have been the...
Car has just 3K miles and it is very high specification. I am waiting for the private plate to be moved onto the new car.
I just realized, MB do annual services so my car will be due for one in just 3 months.
MB website states that any routine maintenance due on a car bought using the MB...
