Hello everyone, I'm Chris, 33 years old and I'm living in Germany. I'm driving several W123 since I have my driver's licence. Additionally, as you might expect, cars come and go, some of them stay, and whoops you got sort of a collection. In my case, a W114, two 123's a fintail and other stuff...

Evening all, Looking to buy a 2008-10 E Class Estate as a family wagon but having looked on these pages, it's clear that they don't all have ISOFIX. The good wife won't accept a car without it, so will have to retro fit. The links people have posted before don't seem to work anymore -...

I wonder if someone would be kind enough to diagnose this problem for me? If I put my foot down hard it doesn't take off as quickly as it should and thereafter, I get a time lag in acceleration until I switch the ignition off and on again. TIA. Regards, Jeff.

When and how long should that pump be running? I fitted a new one a couple of days ago and now I can hear it humming when I start the car on the morning and it runs more or less until the car reached its proper temperature . I never noticed it running before. I can hear the new pump humming...

Hi all. I need to replace tyres on 2007 W216 CL600. From reviews it seems that Goodyear Asymmetric 2s or 3s are a good option as seem to be quiet with decent fuel economy plus performance. Problem is that I can't get a full set of either on the car as they don't make all sizes* so I can go for...

After replacing the glow plugs on my OM606, recently on start up the following has been happening - ABS warning light on, Rev counter stuck on 0, and idle too weak to move the car when in gear. This is intermittent but becoming permanent. It either all happens together or no faults at all...

Had my glow plugs replaced this week for the 1st time in 10 years and 87k. Curious as to why the two remaining good ones (Resistance <1 Ohm) are still look bright and almost as new, where as the dead ones are quite heavily corroded. Is this normal or indicative of some other fault lurking ?
