random

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...

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...

ok ive got a few niggly things that i need to find out and cant find out in the manual i have. 1. where does the breather hose go to that comes out of the air filter housing? mine is unplugged. 2. under the carb/inlet theres a small round thing a little like a catch tank about as big as an...

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...

From which angle does your Mercedes look least appealling? In my opinion, the W209 CLK looks like an Avensis if you look toward the boot, say when opening the drivers door to get in....

My C180 has been randomly revving up around 2000+ rpm especially in the morning when its cold. The the car keep revving even without pressing the accelarator at traffic light, either with the Drive, Neutral or Parking.:( The rev seems to stay constant at that level without any sign to decrease...

Ok guys, i have a fair few bits for sale that i would like to give forum members the advantage of having before i stick them on ebay. It's an eclectic bunch! Most are new in boxes, some are barely second hand. Please ask for more details, pictures or fitment in this thread or via PM and i'll...

The last couple of nights the alarm (siren and indicators) has gone off on our V280 - the first at midnight, and then last night at 2am. Our neighbours are not impressed! Can't see any obvious reason for why it would have sounded - and simply unlocking and relocking the car with the remote...

Hi Got the wife a picture frame for christmas and a 4Gig memory stick and copied approx 500 photographs onto it. Problem is all the pics come in the order that they are on the stick. Question: How do i make the pics random as opposed to coming in the order on the stick??? Picture...

Hi I posted a few days ago, thanks for all your help, but still the car refuses to fire on all four all the time, I left the car for 4 days in the frost and rain and when i started it she ran very iratic misfire, backfire, poping, no power, stalls when put in gear.... I left it for 24 hours...
