TODAY'S DEEP THOUGHT I think the cycle of life is all backwards, so instead You should die first, start out dead and get it out of the way. Then you wake up in an old age home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, When you...

Hi - new member here - I have a lovely 500sec that has started to object to going backwards! I can easily select reverse, and if the engine is cold it will move - but very slowly, - when warm even the slightest gradient will leave it stationary! I know will have to go to a garage, but wondered...

Hi there, I had the brake discs and pads replaced on my 1999 E300 Turbo-D a few months back. A few weeks after they were replaced I thought I occasionaly heard this funny clicking/tapping noise when reversing but thought nothing of it. Anyway, the other day I was reversing in an underground...
