morning

New member here. Currently a Mk3 Mondeo driver, only ever owned Fords. Pondering getting a post-facelift W211 E220 CDI estate in the medium-term future, so popping in here to read up. We need a car that fits three child seats across the rear with ample luggage space and capability for roof box...

While on the motorway this morning traffic was dire due to a lorry and a Transit having tangled on the opposite carriageway rolling the transit and ripping the corner of the cab off the lorry. then just as were crawling along the turbo blew on the Vauxhall Zafira behind me engulfing us in...

well i was hoping i wouldnt have to do this type of post yet but yesterday morning i got a esp warning take car to garage ( 1 malfunction )and driving to work the cruise control didnt work . for the drive home i got a esp not available message and no malfunction ? and the cruise control worked...

Well it had to happen sometime. The right rear spring snapped this morning with the expensive sounding twang. Was the last original spring left on the car as the other 3 have been replaced at some point since ive owned it. I have seen a pair of Klien springs on fleabay for about £70 but ive...

:dk: left my house this morning for work and had a gander at the cars on the drive before leaving (as you do) and the 211 was sitting flat on the ground. The front end has drooped so low that the tyres are hitting the front fenders. I literally cnt put any fingers through. Has it lost...

My much loved 1996 W202 C200 (131k miles) did something peculiar today. Basically, due to snow yesterday, I put my car into our works warehouse overninght but when I came to it and tried to start it, the car turned over, fired briefly, cut out and then refused to start. After much cranking and...

I'm sure most of you are more careful. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up to be careful when defrosting your cars in the morning. A few cars in my areas have been stolen with the keys inside. Remember, the insurers won't cover it!... :thumb:

I just bought a 60 reg car with only 45 miles on the clock for just over £3.5k off list.. registered only a week or so ago as dealer registered.. will share all in 2/3 weeks when i have time to collect.. Anyone wanna hazard a guess. ps. Happy Diwali boys and girls!

Was going to chester this morning, round about 1030 when I saw about 10 police bikes and 5 or 6 police cars escorting a prison sweat box eastbound towards Warrington. Must have been someone pretty dangerous considering all the police escorting it.

I was rear ended whilst siting in traffic this morning. It was one hell of a shunt which knocked the car forward about 3 ft while I had my foot on the brake. It felt like more like he mistook the gas for the brake rather than gently rolling into me. He was driving an X5 so not a lightweight...

Off to WIM tomorrow morning as a follow-up from the alignment work a few months ago. My circumstances were a little out of the ordinary (I'll bet they say otherwise!). The alignment errors in the car when I bought it caused the inside edge of the n/s/f tyre to feather slightly, but as it was...

All I can say is :D No idea how any of the gizmos work but the engine definitely does!!! Pics will follow...

The luxury car marketing men will have you believe that you are normally sweeping swiftly along a smooth, deserted, challenging, picturesque highway. In reality we struggle so find any space on horribly potholed roads in a land where we pay five and half quid for a gallon of fuel. My previous...

Hi, I need just the mirror as someone kindly cracked mine. Need it delievered by Friday morning if possible, any ideas? or have you got one? Thanks, Ross

Anyone on here? Very Tiddy W123 (I think) :o.

Any ideas what that's likely to mean? As far as I can see its not covered in the manual.

I bought a complete leather interior (with seat heat) from the lock-up of a very nice gentleman :D Oh and it came with the seat heat loom and upper control block :bannana: Just got to get round to installing it now....

Hi, Has anyone been on a normal (not school holiday) weekday morning? I'm just wondering what the queues will be like. Whether I should spend the money on VIP tickets or if i can queue for the 2-for-1 offer? If anyone has been recently I'd appreciate your experience. Thanks.
