"Multimillion pound housing developments in London are segregating less well-off tenants from wealthy homebuyers by forcing them to use separate entrances." "a growing trend in the capital's upmarket apartment blocks – which are required to include affordable homes in order to win planning...

As many of you know I've just bought a VW Beetle for JSWMBO so thought I would get it serviced and checked over properly. So went on the VW forum and canvassed opinion in the trade who was a good VW Indie near me. On Monday I sent out 4 requests via the companies websites requesting a price for...

Bought one of the few new C63 estate remaining in the UK recently and absolutely love the car. The only gripe I have about the car is the poor lcation of ISOFIX points, hidden under the cover. Very difficult to get to and fixing my rather large baby seat took immense effort and several...

Going into a roundabout or negotiating a bend the car seems to lean more than usual. I dont know what the right term is but it feels like it will almost tip over especially when at speed how do i determine whether its shocks or something else. How can i test the shock absorbers. Could it be...

I own a 1998 C200. Recently, I have had poor running when cold, and more recently, it has also started to judder and misfire when at high revs or high load when driving. I can barely get above 80 before this starts to happen. Any suggestions on where to start? At more normal revs and load, it...

Hi All, I have seen a lot of threads on this topic but not one that fits my issue exactly...if my search skills have let me down...apologies in advance. My C180K Sports Coupe (52 Plate) has poor FM radio reception. I don't have a weak Central Locking radio signal issue and can lock/unlock...

Driving me nuts... Same commute to work 5 days a week...often get intermittent static on the radio, usually listening to R4 (I'm 36 going on 86). It can happen with any station even R1 which I would think carries a pretty strong signal?! I live in an area where there should be a strong...

Hi, have a SL 500 129 2001, the handling is not too sharp on uneven roads it tram lines really bad and the steering feels vague, on a smooth road, in a straight line, steady as a rock, fast as you like, decent tyres back and front, standard sizes 17inch, I have changed the cheap bits anti roll...

Hi all, Radio reception in my '08 S211 with audio 20, has deteriorated significantly. It now has problems finding stations on both FM and AM. Can anyone tell me what the possible causes are, and what I can look for? Am I right in thinking the aerial is incorporated into the heated rear...

Hi all, I'm wondering if I should be getting better mpg from a 2002 E200 kompressor (S210). Driving gently on A and B roads produces mid 20s, the best so far on a long run with the car empty is about 33. The car warms up very quickly, but doesn't seem to get much above 80 degrees. Do I need a...

Hi all, I am new to the forum and have a concern over the mpg I get from my c class. I have a 2008 C220 cdi auto sport. I have bought this about 3 months ago. It has been well maintained at the dealers by previous owner. After resetting counters, I am getting between 22 to 26 mpg driving...

The reversing lights on my S210 don't seem as bright as those on my previous one. I detect a slight dark tint on the lens but this could just be due to the age of the car? I suppose those pesky tinted door mirrors don't help, but I can't really see as much as I'd like to when reversing in the...

Hi y'all, I have a 2006 E class saloon with bi-xenon lights. The dip beam is exceptionally poor. Didn't realise how bad until I borrowed a '99 Nissan Almera with ordinary lights while mine was getting mot'd. Much brighter and safer!!! What do I have to do or check on mine to fix this...

Why is the labelling on screenwash so poor? With comments like: Dilution rates for summer, winter, extreme winter.... We need actual temperatures with relevant dilution rates. And i've seen some that say "use neat for maximum protection" AND "Ensure spills on bodywork are wiped up...

At home we have a number of PC's running on a single SKY broadband connection, including a wireless laptop, however, one of them is particularly slow and keeps buffering. It is an old XP spec desktop machine with only 2Gb ram, but even though task manager says the processor is only at about...

Hi, I'm getting just 44mpg from a new E220 CDI Coupe from late night 260 mile runs, 99% cruise control at 75mph. I'm pretty disappointed, was expecting around 55mpg based on other diesels on same run. What figure should I expect? Is this just 'running in'? I'm having it checked at the...
