After agonising for too long about which tyres to get and where to get them I finally took the plunge today and had the new Michelin Primacy HP's fitted to the rear (225/50R16V) of my C270 Estate, to replace the Bridgestone Turanza ER30's. The Bridgestones seemed far too stiff in the sidewall...

So I took my C270Cdi Estate for its first ever trip to my local dealer (MB Chester) – the cars an Oct 04 vehicle that I bought in March 05 from MB Direct with 6000 miles. I only really use the car for long motorway journeys, and it’s shown service A at approx 18,500 miles for some time. I...

Yep - I picked it up today - about 30 minutes ago. Many thanks to those who provided the part numbers etc - the guy at the depot told me they have a whole bunch to send out for back orders - so yours should be here soon for those that ordered them. Okay, so its the V5.0 Nav Disc. I'll keep...

I've had the RR Sport for a couple of days now, and really getting to like it. The first things that spring to mind is how refined the thing is. It's quieter to drive than the CL, and engine noise is almost silent from the 2.7 diesel unit. The steering is quite heavy, but this thing flies for...

Cost £790 plus VAT in the end, with £450 odd being supply and fit front and rear brake pads and front discs. Oil £117 though! Have to say, at 40,000 my service costs total is now £1100 plus VAT with 13,000 until the next one. Cheaper than I thought it would be when I bought the car. 2.75p...

I was just thinking to myself how many new/service parts have been replaced on my car since I bought it last July. Car is a 1997 C230 Kompressor Sport (5-speed Auto) Saloon. Currently on 91K miles. These parts have been replaced within the last 10 months. I negotiated a good price on the...

Autocar got in touch with me this morning about providing some input into their Crossfire long term report. I was open and honest - can't wait to see the results. :D

CARS STILL EASY PICKINGS Security experts say car makers still have some way to go to make their vehicles safe from thieves. In trials for WhatCar? magazine, they were able to break into 80% of vehicles within a two-minute limit. Most models proved easy work, with the Fiat Panda...

How credible is the report in this months Autocar? I ask this because they state this vehicle will come in 4Matic. 400CDI. No SBC. 4Matic has always been a problem fitting it onto a RHD vehicle. Has Mercedes-Benz solved this problem? Or is this an option that will once again be...
