What options have I for draining petrol from the fuel tank? Could I put a pipe down the filler neck and pump / syphon it out, or is there something in the filler to prevent this?

Evenin' all. I've recently been asking questions about W212's and was happily narrowing down my search to various 350 CDI's. However I live in London (Zone 2) and the ultra low emission zone(ULEZ) is planned for 2020 and I'm struggling to work out the options. I know that wouldn't be...

Shamelessly copied from Sniff Petrol, an absolute classic. :D Dear Total Pr!ck From An Internet Forum, A while ago I remember you recommending a particular car but I can’t recall what it was. Could you jog my memory? KM, London Total Pr!ck From An Internet Forum replies… Ever heard of a...

Hi Guys, I sold my CLK back in November (still missed) High Spec facelift 320, but got my asking price and it was Diesel so not long till it's banned from London. I decided to try out PistonHeads idea of bargain motoring and purchased a BMW 330Ci...

The new (to me) E350 runs at 80 degrees on the coolant temperature gauge, not 100 like the E55Ks. It seems to take longer to come up to temp than the E55Ks, too, but I had assumed that it was just that it read differently. Not so... Sunday morning, trundling along at 50(ish) mph in the long...

How about you? Apart from Luxembourg petrol stations all having the same low price by law, the lowest was at a Germany motorway service station on the way back from a wedding in Hungary last year. It had two petrol stations, one free-standing and €1.15/litre for diesel, the other part of a...

Folks My FIL has bought a 2006 petrol A-Class. He needs to connect his maintenance charger. He can't find a charge point under the bonnet, so has to lift the floor to hook directly into the battery. Is there a charge point?

Just had the gearbox oil changed in my 1994 G 300 auto Gear change is now quite harsh and clunky, you can really feel the cogs engage. Up and down. The garage have checked the level and all is well. Any ideas please? Many thanks

Hi. My aging e39 BMW is beginning to sound a bit noisy and will need some TLC shortly and I'm in two minds to trade her in for a newer car. As I'm really not doing the miles since buying the SLK I am looking at a petrol replacement and from the Benz range I'm considering a 2009 or newer...

Is it really necessary to use super grade petrol in AMG cars?

Hi there. I'm looking for any information on workshop manuals or services capacities. I can't seem to find any info on working or servicing this van anywhere. Any info welcome. Regards Bill.

Pulling away from cold in my S211 estate produces a slight grumbling growling noise when shifting from first to second gear. It soon disappears as the engine and transmission warm up, and everything's fine thereafter. Any clues, please, anybody? The car has done 172,000 miles and recently...
