Hi all, Fingers crossed I'll be purchasing my first Mercedes on Sunday! It's a '94 c220 sport manual. It's pretty rough around the edges but absolutely sound mechanically (or so I'm told) but a little bit of cosmetic work should keep me out of trouble. I have to confess I'm completely new...

Just been out this morning to get a paper and some other bits. We had a bit of snow yesterday. Nothing special, an inch or so, two at the most in the more exposed areas. Most of the main roads have had some form of substance thrown at them by the Council, though looking at it, it was probably...

A couple of weeks ago I changed the fluid and filter in my 722.6 auto box. I had been very cautious about using an additive to try and relieve annoying luck up clutch judder that has plagued the car since I've had it. Thanks to forum members I narrowed the problem down to sticking valves/...

After buying my current car, 2006 w203 c200 cdi, am wondering if anyone can offer some info. I have noticed that the park brake alarm has at times started to flash up in the dash along with the warning chime, i have done some reading and seems to be a common and usually is an adjustment under...

An ABC strut has just been replaced on my 2003 SL500 at a cost of £1,300 following the 'soft' 'ABC Visit Workshop' malfunction warning. As soon as the car was returned, the dash flashed up the 'red' warning: 'ABC - Drive Carefully!'. The repairer is now telling me that the pump also needs to...

Where is the handbrake lever/selection on this car? I have it as a courtesy car whilst mines in on a service at MB. They just gave me the key and said toodle pip. Took me five minutes before I realised how I even put it into drive I'm hoping the handbrake is automatic as I don't fancy coming...

So I've finally managed to get a chance in the 10 days I've had my CLS to give it a wash by my own hand. The be fair it was pretty damn clean when I picked it up but until you get your hands on your car it's not quite yours. First up was the Valet Pro Citrus pre-wash, followed by a rinse and...
