I'm having a similar problem to member "Shedinthegarden". From cold it will sometimes not tick over or will struggle to fire up, sometimes it will be fine. Out on the road generally at low speed either parking, stop start in traffic or just giving a bit more gas to go up a hill when there's...

I have a 190 carburettor manual model. The engine is not idling smoothly and is fairly lumpy. When I accelerate hard sometimes it gives a few misses then takes off. I have to date had the carb overhauled, replaced plugs, plug leads, distributor cap, engine mountings (thought it might be...

Just perusing the internet this morning planning for my eventual change of car in a couple of months and I can't stop looking at ML & GL V8 CDI's and the ML63. I've got used to low 20's mpg in the Discovery, so that's not that much of a concern really, but I do like to know what I'm letting...

Drove home from London this evening - no problems Out for curry about 2 hours later and it sounds like she's on 5 pots. Hunting for revs on tickover. Drives almost OK but no real power and a blown exhaust sort of soundtrack. Any ideas please? Many thanks - into my indie first...

Hi all, I've been looking at various cars to replace my Honda Civic Type R, and after paring a list down from ST220, 3.0 Jag X Type Sport, MG ZT 190, or a BMW 3 series in Sport guise, I settled on the ST220. I've yet to make a purchase though. Last night, I happened upon the c36. It looks and...

Hi everyone, i'm new to the forum and have recently purchased a lovely 1982 280e. Great car and been reliable so far. It was in storage for many years and is now being pressed into use as my daily driver. There is a longish list of issues which over time should be easy to sort out but one...

I'm running a '96 C180 Auto estate with a mere 208,000 miles on the clock. It started pinking and was noticeably sluggish so having searched the forum, I took it to the local garage for a diagnostics check and they confirmed it needed a new mass air sensor. I fitted a Bosch unit and the engine...
