nasty

With no prior warning, at the end of a 400 mile journey my E280 CDI was hissing loudly from the rear and smelling of cabbages. The hissing (and smell) persisted for some minutes after switching the engine off. Is this the catalytic converter? Or something else? Thanks for any thoughts.

The replacment car after the W124 was written off is a......ahem.....diesel Rover 75 estate, 1 owner, full history and 130k miles for £500 bargain I thought. Great on fuel and nice and comfy the only things I don't like is it's a manual and by crikey is it slow. Covered 2000 faultless miles...

I've only had my W211 a few weeks and i am generally very impressed by the quality, feel, fit and finish of everything. One thing that really lets the side down is the indicator stalk. It's very unsatisfying to move up and down, and it springs back like a shotgun, causing the whole steering...

Did Volvo really do this? So you have quite a nice looking car according to photo 1, but then you see the interior. Is this Volvo's doing or a mod by someone with no taste? Anyone like the colour of the interior? 2005 Volvo C70 T | eBay

Got a nasty chemical smell inside the CLS500. Put in gel deodrant "autosol" It seems like mask. Smells similar to a leather smell but is in't the leather. Not sure if anyone has used cleaning fluids. Has anybody had a bad smell inside their car (not fart smell or BO) If they did how and what did...

My son has a bad virus on his laptop (the last time he'll let his mates use it I suspect). Countless pop ups and now the dreaded one that has taken over the machine. Can't even alter firewall settings etc. I think this means a trip to our local computer shop. However, he has a lot of...

I bought a W124 '95 e280 estate (130k) in February off a mate and for the first few months was in seventh heaven. Loved the car and felt like I would always be a "Mercedes Man" after years of running classic Jags and Daimlers. But.... I took it to my local garage last week, who previously...

Greetings one and all, Apologies if this should have gone in Interior, but the problem is definitely in the engine compartment. It began a couple of weeks ago with a mysterious low speed rattle, most obvious at around 1000 rpm. I couldn't diagnose it then, but now I know that's because I...
