months

I've decided to start a buffet company and have bought a van so the 500SE has to go I'm afraid, :( The car is taxed until the end of the month and has done 131,000 miles. It drives great and the cream leather is in great condition. There's some wear in the drivers side upper part of the seat...

There was a time when I would have walked over broken glass rather than own a Mercedes. I really thought they were exclusively owned by criminals, drug dealers and sociopaths. But eventually you tire of waiting for Jaguar to make a car you might actually want to buy. And I am a sucker for...

I have a 1997 E200 that developed an exhoust rattle. New front section including cat fitted by local (Oswestry) independant garage, 4 weeks later the same rattle returned. My local man fitted another section under warranty and had the emisions re checked and found to be OK. He commented that...

I replaced my Bosch MAS 9 months back from airmassmeters.com with a genuine Bosch. My symptoms were - Jumping into gear on 1st start up from cold, drive or reverse gear.I had just that for a while before I started to get the loss of power etc and would be fine after a restart. I fitted the new...

I’m looking to expand the fleet with a Land Rover Discovery. I’ve owned a Defender for 9 years so am aware of the pitfalls of owning Solihull’s finest. The aim is to buy the best vehicle that isn’t hit by retrospective tax (eg. Pre Mar 01). I’ve come across two cars being sold privately...

danger - female Merc owner! :crazy: the amber engine diagnostic light came on last friday on our way home from Cornwall. it went off again after the next short journey, but i booked it in at Merc Derby to be looked at anyway. the cam adjuster solenoid shows a stored error, i was told it will...

Hi all, this is just an update on my experience with buying and running an old merc;) I only do 3-4000 miles a year, and use the w124 to save the 300SL for summer top-down cruising. It starts on the button all the time, (see it starting-up here!)has never let me down, changes are smooth...

Kind of following on from the mileage thread, I thought I would raise a similar related question. In short are there any tips, tricks or words of advice to bear in mind, to help maintain a car of more senior mileage? I am now into the 6th month of a beautiful relationship with my long...

Honda in Swindon is to shut for 4 months - Feb to May inclusive - workers offered package to go or receive 50% wages until they reopen in June. :eek: :eek:

Work are giving me the Bold and therefore this is up for sale. Its on T-Mobile, and in good condition with all accessories. I have used it for 6 months and never has it failed on me in any way whatsoever. Boxed £130 Faz 07535700830

I am still not able to find a comfortable driving position in my SL500 (230.) I have tried so many different positions but am getting pain (in my Lower Back/Right Buttock/Upper Leg) every time i drive the car. I dont get this problem in ANY other car. Are the pedals offset in the SLs? This...

A year or so ago I decided I could afford a decent convertable. Checked out a few, and bought a suspect SLK, which went back to the dealer. I ended up with a new SLK350, with the spec I wanted, thanks to good advice from here, for which I'm grateful. So, was the advice good - have I bought...

As the heading, was pulled over on the motorway mid October last year, was issued with a fixed penalty notice. I paid the fine and went to produce but could not find my photocard (I had the paper bit). They marked it as if I had not produced and said I will be issued with a court summons...

Well this is what not very much of my hard earned got me, bought unseen for £1800 because I trusted the seller. The aircon needed a £45 re gas and now blows ice cold. It has a few minor scratches and one rust spot to put right, the grille has had a minor knock, the aerial sticks, and I'm...
