rant

Hi all, just wondered if anyone has dealt with these clowns? Maybe it's because I drive a Vito that I don't get the service I pay for or get any communication from these guys once they've had my money. Still waiting for a new remote for my auxiliary heating and it's been now two months since...

I thought I was onto a good buy when I purchased another E300 a nice tidy and surface rust free example, only 145k on the clock and nil advisories on the MOT. However after two weeks and nearly 1000miles driven the list of problems is growing! electrical issues, glow plugs need doing, now...

Because I'm a bit bored. On renewing my insurance with Aviva I note that there's a credit card charge of 0.5% of the total transaction - what horsesh!t. Usually those justifying c/c fees argue that it covers the processing and electronic transfer etc. So bigger numbers must be harder to...

At a recent get-together (Brooklands) I met one of the previous owners of my W124 E36. He told me that my car was originally a MB press car when it was first registered in the UK. On the strength of this, I wrote to MB and asked if they could confirm if that was indeed the case. All I...

In our area this mob are doing a lot of TV advertising. Mrs P even had a letter from them today. Turns out if you borrow £350 for 12 months you repay..... £1267.80! A £917.80 charge for credit or 1971% APR! How can this be allowed? It's preying off those least...

My wife and I have both had our cars insured with Admiral for a couple of years now, although it was never worthwhile going for the multicar option as it made very little difference. We have just changed one of our cars to a C63 and this coincided with a policy renewal date so we did the usual...

...I was tasked with fixing the exhaust on my wife's Rav4 this morning. The rear silencer had separated from the pipe running the length of the car. When I got the area cleaned up I could see the original flange on the back box had rusted off (and yet this is not a Mercedes). Since both pipes...

My father in law commutes to work, 2 miles. He makes the occasional journey oop north from Surrey to see us, a 400 miles round trip. That's all he does in his ML350, around 5k a year. He want's to replace his ML for something different, another Mercedes, but he's preoccupied with MPG figures...

I ordered some coloured pads for my CLK which arrived a week late. the wear wire is different but the pads are the same. rang them on Saturday and was advised they were closed and that i should leave a message on their answer phone for BOB...!? forgoten about it until today (wednesday) and...

The wife broke down today in the W210 E320CDi. She was doing 30mph, in the inside lane of the roundabout and it just shutdown completely. the wife who was alone, and during rush hour on the M1 junc 5 roundabout, could not do anything and had to put her hazard lights on, triangle out, and...

Arrive at local filling station in Belfast and proceed to look for gloves and there is none, then try all 4 dispensers for paper towel and there is none. I remember that i have one of those little disposable blue refuelling gloves in the car. Fill the car with £90 worth of diesel wearing the...

Just my little rant before I goto sleep... Rant 1: Why is it that I cannot find anyone with a decent stock of alloy wheels who will tell me exactly how much each rim weighs? Rant 2: Why is it that ever seller that has directional alloys (like the aeroblade, swirly ones, turbine ones, etc)...

So, three days before I have to drive down to my folks for Christmas....and the brakes are...broke. Brakes were only engaging when the pedal was almost to the floor, stopped to have a look and found the offside rear wheel was red-hot. Looks like the blasted thing was stuck on. No time to buy...

Hi there all. I have a c208 CLK which i often turn into Mr ocd over as im on a mission to preserve it as much as possible. My problem is i run a bar and often give friends lifts home after they have had one or two sherberts and after telling them not to countless times not to :wallbash: i still...

OK, so this morning as usual I walked to work around 15/20 mins through Chester. Must have spotted at least 20 if not more convertibles. MX5, TT, SLK, SL, Nissan 350, Saab, Audi A4, mini's etc etc EVERY one had the roof UP, and even worse some had the roof up but side windows down???? What...

Only been a year since I sold a car on Autotrader, but the increase in the amounts of idiots who cant even speak properly is getting on my tytz. Plenty calls for my c203k, but questions like "is it petrol or diesel", "what does it do to the gallon?", "is it a nice colour?" are just a few of...
