The other night I was driving along the motorway in heavy rain and realised there were some white lights facing us in the left lane. These turned out to be the headlights of a extra long Sprinter. In the space of about 2 seconds he started to do a three point turn to get facing the right way...

Guys, My pride & joy S211 2003 E270CDI, was rear ended on the M4 today. Was stopped in traffic, but the guy 2 cars back did not!! He smacked into the car behind me, who then smacked into me, & I kissed the car in front!!! To say I was p**ssed off, was an understatement!!! I really hope she...

...on the way home this evening. I joined the motorway and moved over to lane three because the other two were occupied and the third was clear...that is until I cleared the van in the second lane to be met with a Golf driven by an old eejit...coming towards me. I stamped on the brakes and...

OK I know one or two people on here have been upset by my recent posts calling them rude, extreme and even offensive so I’m going to try and cover this topic as delicately and as sensitively as I can. Today is an office day for Ian the Engineer and he leaves the house at 7am on his 40 mile...

Orite guys, after another Merc now but gotta be a CDI, as amazing as the 320 was, it was abit thirsty :crazy: I spend 90% of the time sat on the motorway, and do about 120miles a day. Got anything from £5k up to £7k for the right car, so been looking at W203s and W211 and looking at C/E220s...

Good morning, I've recently purchased one of the above vehicles, a '92 model. 225k on the clock, OM603.912 engine. The guy who sold it to me said it had been running on veg oil, but changed the filters before I got it, and they do look new. Starts fine, a little bit of a rough idle, but when I...

'Wrong-shaped numbers' let speeders off hook: Convictions overturned due to irregular motorway warning signs | Mail Online Love this sort of thing! Surely though, if they are not in accordance with Transport Dept rules & regs then all prosecutions are illegal and the drivers must be...

Chaos As Pensioner Drives Wrong Way On Motorway

Driving down the motorway at approx 80mph when the car lost power, the engine still ran but when I pressed the throttle it just reved irratic. The engine noise sounded different as well, hard to describe ?? I was brought home by the AA and I had a quick look this morning. Tried...

On the sliproad from M62 for northbound M6 was some lorry tyre debris. I tried 111 but it appears that the service is not enabled in that area :doh: It gives an 0845 number to call but as I was driving, that option was not feasible (would have needed to write number down then enter it on a...

Hi there, A couple of months back, i started experiencing loss of speed while going uphill on motorways. Since then I have changed the spark plugs, cleant the carb, and changed the fuel hose - but the problem still persists. I would really appreciate any suggestions you may have? thanks. (its a...

Hello All Over the last four months my W203 has become more erratic on A roads/motorways. If you set the cruise at anything between 2-2.5k rpm it will hesitate (drop about 200rm) every so often, then carry on as if nothing has happened ! It's getting worse even my wife asked me 'what's wrong...
