A few minutes ago our postie arrived with a large envelope for me. I opened it and found a wonderful book about Spitfires which I hadn't ordered. MBclub member Mike Walker had seen the book and knew I'd like it so he sent it to me as a present. I'm very pleased with the book and very touched at...

Hi folks! I've got a bit of a random question. Does anyone on here know if there is a list or a resource that tells you what Mercedes key blanks fit what model? I've got a load siting on my desk here and don't know what models/years they are actually for :( Any help would be...

I keep getting what a seemingly random errors from the messages screen on the C240. They have all been wrong so far; I don't remember the exact wording.... 1. Left mirror turn signal not working 2. Right front turn signal not working 3. License plate light not working 4. Driver's...

Alright, Finally got the 190 going after the 300 24v conversion, its runs lovely, idles fine if a bit high (1000 rpm but smooth). But it keeps stalling when you brake when going downhill and it has stalled a couple of times when dropping from third to second. Restarts on the button (easier...

Hello Last night whilst at Tesco my alarm started making strange noises. Not the full alarm sound, just parts of it. It started after I unlocked the car, but would not stop even when I locked the car, then unlocked it, and even with the key in the ignition. Stopped in the end randomly...

Hi, Hope the General forum is appropriate for this :ban: Is any one a chauffeur in a nice big shiny saloon car and interested in quoting me for a 20 min journey at 23:45 on Easter Sunday in NE Hants? Feel free to say no :D Or to PM me. Cheers, Jon.

can you take a manual driving test in an automatic car that has a tiptronic gearbox? and should you put it in P at the lights rather than keep in D :D

Gents / Ladies.. I need to pick your brains if you are a 212 owner.. having had my car for a week, i have noticed a random noise.. it sounds like a semi faint parktronic beep, but its continuous noise, and lasts 2-3 seconds and then fades out, like as if a squirrel has been run over and about...

Imagine, as a random act of kindness, someone allows you to have your dream car for 24 hours. What would it be? How would you plan the day? Where would you go, who would you show it to etc...? I thought of this following yesterdays thread about your ultimate car.

Hi, I have a 2001 CLK 230 Kompressor which has done just over 100,000 miles, The car is in generally good condition and passed a full M.O.T in mid July. However, since then it developed an odd fault - whilst driving the traction control light would suddenly start pulsing and the brakes would...

Came home on Saturday night to find the car sitting in the drive with the front interior lights on. Car was locked and alarm hadn't went off as my son had been in all night. Unlocked it and locked it again and the lights went back off and have been OK since. Anyone any idea?

I would like forum members to convince me that now is the right time in my life to buy an SL500

I stumbled across this today @ £38. Looked like very good value so I bought one and will be giving it a try on the weekend. I also bought some extra pads for good measure. Clas Ohlson I must say, theres loads of boys stuff that is extremely good value in this place, I ended up buying...

Went down to the Gower yesterday to a lovely beach called Oxwich. Had a great day with the kids, grandkids and even the mother in law enjoyed herself. Anyway quite late on in the day we spotted this chap close to us After firing up this contraption he then ran down the beach and came...

Hello, Firstly i do hope I've got the name of these things right, I fear someone may come at me with a microfibre if not! So then, what sort of proces are we seeing these go for? At £200 I don't think it is worth buying one, as you will rarely use - as I doubt it would be wise to use it...

Hello, Would anyone happen to know where i can identify what a chime i've found in my 2000 CL500 means? it only chimes one time when i start the engine and start driving, and theres no pattern to when it goes off. the chime has three notes, (obviously cannot replicate it in words), and just...

I had some idiot knock at my door last night at about 11pm. He gave me some dodgy story about his car being towed, he had a fight or punched the clamper and got arrested, police dropped him back to my road as that was where the incident allegedly took place. He then asked if I could spare a few...

Anyone got the rough size of box a 32" LCD telly would come in? Just to see if it'll fit in my car, don't want to buy one and find it doesn't fit :o

The S500 is a very popular choice other there. Once I realised how common these were I stopped taking photos on them: Only 1 of these spotted: My brother in law's Jeep Wrangler (very capable off road and not bad on road either) This is it's best angle: Quite a few of these spotted and I...
