morning

Got awoken very early this morning by a friend in a spot of bother. Seems that the car might be a "dustbin case" although I was happy I still managed to deliver my car to the Indie on time for the MOT, etc this morning. Thank god he's all ok and we went and had a nice hot...

Hello there, I have a Mercedes C220 Diesel year 1996. Well, it takes nearly 3 attempts to start the car every morning and it remains a good starter during the rest of the day. I have had the glow plugs checked and they seem good. I have it check and they think it might be air lock in the return...

Actually it was worse than that... It was a complete whiteout when I looked out the window this morning. My wife's car is playing up a bit at the moment so until its sorted she's decided to pinch my CE. :mad: I knew this was a *really* bad thing as I now have to commute 50 miles on a...

A busy morning. Must be because the party conference season is over and all the journos have hangovers. 1. Yes, as reported in another thread the CPS are trying for an appeal on the 159 "just testing it" police officer. So now three High Court Judges plus armies of lawyers will spend a lot...

New to this forum - been reading the advice for a few days now and most useful. Just got to check on the cricket score next. Be handy when it finishes and I can get some work done.

Hi, I saw a 'T' plate blue C-Class with an Avantgarde grille and AMG wheels on the A41 near Bicester this morning, just wondered if it was anyone off the forum, as a few of the regulars seem to have Oxfordshire down as their location... Laz --

First impression - really awful. Looked cheap and nasty and reminded me of a Fiat in styling. Didn't see the inside. Paint was sky blue and perhaps it will look classier in silver :D or black.

I was driving on the A4 past Heathrow this morning and saw drove past this accident. It looks like the driver pulled straight out of a turning into two lanes of fast moving traffic. There were three people in the Coupe, none seriously hurt. He collided with a white van.

Those lovely traffic wardens in the LB of Camden gave me a parking ticket this morning. But it wasn't for overstaying in the parking box (which i wasn't on this occasion), but more that my front tyre was a few inches over the line slightly touching a single yellow line in front. At the...

Ah, what can I say. Multiple hassles already so to ease the burden of the day, instant quiz with absolutely nothing for correct answers. Questions What is this vehicle? Why is it unsuitable for unipods? Why would it upset Ken Livingstone?

Since breakfast this morning it has snowed, and snowed, and snowed we now have 8 inches of snow and its still falling! I have spent 4 and a half hours first delivering children then collecting children from schools that are having to close. The roads are horrendous, the Merc is as useless as a...

Anyone any information on the latest windscreen de-icer spray, you spray on before you go to bed and in the morning just clean the screen with the wipers.. If it works what do you do with the rear screen and side windows? Does the ice easily come off with a cloth or leather ?

Well. today was the first time a MB has ever let me down. The car just would not start, and Mobilo have confirmed that it is a problem with the injectors. So if you have a CDI which becomes a bit slow to start (which mine has in recent 10 days), then be prepared for complete failure due to...

Hi all, Merc 190 carb 1987 In the morning when I start the car it sounds like it's only firing on 3 plugs, then after a minute or so settles down and seems to tick over at about 6-800 rpm. When I knock it into drive and set off it again sounds like its running on 3 plugs but settles down...

Ho hum, we got up reasonably early this morning to head off to meet up with Matt and a few others at the Top Gear studios. Annie had decided that if we headed off early we could get a bit of shopping done before the filming - she keeps mentioning this "Christmas" thing and using words like...

Driving to work this morning, keeping with the flow of the traffic (~40 in a non-built up 30 - why it's 30 i'll never know), admittidely my mind was elsewhere. Looked in my mirror and there's a jam sandwich following Nooooooo :crazy: My lovely clean license. Then his lights come on and my...

Needless to say I wasn't in the running for long. For a massive car with a huge road presence it shifts!!! :cool: Nice motor...

got a bit of a fright driving to work this morning. driving out of town, the road goes from 30 to 40 but everyone's doing at least 40 well before the 40 sign. anyway, out the corner of my eye i see a couple of flashes, no-one else around, and my heart goes into overdrive. i'm sure you all...
