Giving 'evil big brother' a break for a while I've found some Mercedes related news in this months Octane magazine: A short article mentioning the sale of this 1979 350SL that went under the hammer for a mere £2900 :eek...

Right my 211 e270 cdi developed a funny problem, went for a little cruise on the motorway today max 15 miles each way on the way back had cruise on at 80 then tried uppin it a little to say 85 and nothing was happening, baring in mind that 10 mins earlier when i was adjusting speed via cruise...

I found this on the TFL website, and don't recall it appearing on here before, if it has, apologies, I could not find it. Anyway I thought it worthwhile to post, for those of you who want to express an opinion in the consultation period. Consultation closes on October 19th...

Hi all.. I have a 1999 W202 C180 with 70,000 on the clock. I've started to notice that when the car is warm and say driven for about 10mins there is strange noise when you put your foot on the throttle or lift off the throttle. It only lasts for a second or two and then disappears, doesn't...

My local (Northampton) dealer knows nothing about my car.. having never seen a CL65/S65/SL65 before.. they don't even have that model in their database.. Is there anyone at Merc headquarters that can answer questions for me regarding my car ? Does anyone have contacts ?

As I understand it, the AMG wheel fitment (8.5 & 7.5x17) on the c class has tyre sizes of 225/45 17 front and 245/40 17 rear. This gives rise to a difference in circumference front to rear of 20.8mm. If fitting this set up to a car which didn't have it originally, will it not confuse the...

My 1996 C250D(non turbo) is giving problems again and this time a very strange problem. I've gone through a few theads on this forum and I think the problem could MAF related. I am not sure if it does have a MAF sensor or what you call it. It does have that that sensor/resister type thing on the...

A busy morning. Must be because the party conference season is over and all the journos have hangovers. 1. Yes, as reported in another thread the CPS are trying for an appeal on the 159 "just testing it" police officer. So now three High Court Judges plus armies of lawyers will spend a lot...

Taken from True urban legends.............. I had a wreck a couple of weeks ago and totaled our Lincoln Town Car. I hydroplaned on Hwy 135 between Gladewater & Kilgore, Texas. I was not hurt, just emotionally rattled! I know the Lord was with me. I learned a lesson I'd like to pass on...

My W210 has always had a extra noise in the cabin when acelerating hard. It sounds like there is a route through from the engine bay to the air vent for noise! Further investigation revealed that the noise only happens with the steering wheel in the straight ahead position. If you go around a...

Having installed a Blaupunkt Seattle MP 74, which I am overall very happy with, I have, however, experienced an increasingly annoying fault. Playing CD's it will from time to time "skip" or miss for a split second, which is not related to bumps in the roads and others. Same with the CD...

OK, like the title says, what gifts did you get, that are car related? I am guessing a bunch of car nuts like us, must have got at least one motoring related gift. I got a Air Compressor (note not with a "K") for inflating my tyres. I have been after one for ages as I hate going to...
