Right, got another issue now with the old battle ship ... The petrol needle and the speedo needle are moving up and down when the engine runs ... First it was the speedo especially at speeds around 20-30 mph but now the petrol needle is also moving up and down irrationally 0-: Where should I...

Been looking to get a C or E class however I am not quite sure whether to go for a diesel or petrol version. Currently I do about 9-10k miles per year and the bulk of my driving is in town, short distances (3-5 miles) (although i do a minimum of 3 long distance journeys per month (20 miles and...

Hi, new member here. I recently started having problems with V-class after I haven't driven it for a couple of months. First problem i noticed it was in limp mode probably caused because of one of the cylinders not working properly. After reading the fault codes(I'll post pics of them at the end...

Hi. I'm going to view one of these tomorrow. How do I tell whether it has Bluetooth? Is it standard? The car I am viewing has lots of options and also has Command + the music memory thingy feature but no mention in the ad list for Bluetooth. Also, what economy are people getting on a...

Soooo.... Today my car (s320 CDI 2003)randomly conked out and wouldn't start. It came up with an EPC error when it happened. I managed to pull over and called the AA out. So the AA man came and scanned it, it said low fuel pressure in the fuel rail, we assumed the high pressure pump was...

Hello all, I've just acquired a low mileage (32K) 1998 Vito 2.0 petrol 'day van' and would like any advice about servicing. I have always done my own oil, air filter, plugs and leads changes, but looking under the Vito bonnet, it looks like these are all hidden away somewhere out of sight...

Hi people, When I place the car from startup in to D from P it shudders, and I drive it remains in the lower gear an won't change up. I have stopped the car the issue remains when I start the car up. Only when the car shudders (gear movement) does the issue occur. Has anyone come...

After running on cheap petrol for the past 2 years I changed to the expensive stuff and now I find a drop in performance. I ran the tank down to near empty and used a bottle of Comma Detox for enhancing performance etc. I than tanked up with the higher octane and ran it as normal, y'know...

Sorry, need help again. I bought a w210 E class, 320 petrol, X reg, a few weeks ago. The car has been running really well with no problems. Last night, I drove the car for about 20 motorway miles. I arrived home, parked up for about 4 hours, and now it refuses to start. It turns over with...

I have a fair idea that this problem is being caused by blocked breathers somewhere, but expert advice would be greatly appreciated... The car runs fine, but intermittently, mostly after driving for quite a while, you can smell petrol fumes. When you open the fuel filler cap, there is a...

All this talk of petrol prices coming down and the oil industry on its' uppers...... this is a local station in West London. They 'cleverly' have their prices on a rolling LCD screen so the costs are only on show for about 20% of the time and catch a lot of unsuspecting punters. Sent from my...

Just a quick one, I need to replace my exhaust (the back and middle section). Are there any special technics/requirements in order to do this? as i'm doing it myself for the first time.

I will be buying my first Mercedes soon but a remark from my local garage, who I trust, remarked as I would only be doing around 4000 miles or less a year then probably go for petrol over diesel. I lost my big dogs this year, so time will come soon to replace my second vehicle a van with an...

Hi Guys, I need some advise. My engine warning light has come on and the code reader I have says that the camshaft timing is over-retarded on bank 1. The car starts, idles and runs lovely. Anybody any idea on what would cause this message. Thanks in advance Dave W.

Hi, I'm newbie here, but looking closely at leasing a C200 petrol. I can't find any information anywhere about real-world MPG on this engine. Merc claim 53.3 combined which I'm guessing is optimistic to say the least, but if it can crack 45mpg on a run then it's something I can be happy...

Now petrol is down in price I was wondering if it is worth trying the more expensive premium fuel for a few months to see if it improves the running of my MB. Has or does any one else used/use it?

Looking for a decent well looked after car, not a project Car will be in daily use in London so not looking for a minter either Anybody got one for sale or know of one? Thanks
