Hi, am a newbie here so big "hi" to everyone. Great forum btw. My situation is I'm currently in the process of relocating to the UK after 10yrs out and am evaluating which car to buy. I'm strongly considering plumping for an E Class AG estate but am also looking at A6's and 5 Series but am...

Some off you may have realised I have been absent from the forum for a while and for those of you that know why thank you for the kind e mails. Last Friday my wife was involved in a serious accident that saw her roll her 4x4 and sustain some nasty injuries. Fortunately the driver training and...

Anyone seen the article in Februarys 'Bike' about re classification of some of our favourite roads and how we can stop it? and has anyone written, draughted a letter to send to their local highways agency? Very interesting article and useful graph titled the 85th percentile about why slower...

Read this in my local paper this week Donnington in ruins More info here Save Donington They have set a date for the Day Of Support, March 7th. (that is a Sunday) Several car clubs will be in attendance. Anyone fancy going along?

As per the title really. Are there statistics anywhere that supports the mandatory installation of rear fog lamps? I'm pretty sure that they have been a waste of effort! More of a nuisance on the road rather than a safety aid...

Hi all I drive a 2001 W210 320CDI Estate, bought in Hungary as I live in Hungary and decided to give the car its first tour trip back to the UK to see what it can do, especially on die Autobahnen :rock: However this plan was scuppered whilst as I was almost through Austria Engine...

I have the opportunity to use this car in the scrappage scheme to part fund my wifes new car. However, as the car is in such lovely condition it seems only right to offer it up for sale first in case someone wants to save it from this fate!. The car was bought direct from the factory in...

No doubt some folks will have thought of this already but if not this was posted on a subaru site recently:- I'm sure those of you unlucky enough to own Band G cars are already quite p1ssed off at the latest plans to rob your money come March 2009 What's been less publicised is that in...

looks pretty good from the pics (dont they always?) a little rusty underneath but perhaps not too bad , sounds like fuel pump relay has gone, Im slightly doubtful about the engine having been stood for 14 years though, could make a nice wedding car alas my missus would probably kill me so I had...

Totally insane to drive at 40mph let alone 20mph. http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/driving/article4107764.ece

Since fuel is getting so dear, I wonder why I changed from my 40mpg Audi 2.5 to a 30 mpg E300TD! Well, the Audi has a high mileage (I added 120000 over 6 years AND I suspect the previous owner clocked it VERY cleverly - it just feels old). I believe 30 mpg is good for this car, especially...

I had a bit of brake squeal, so I thought I would clean up the pads and put a bit of grease on the calipers. Look what I found when I got the front wheel off! I dread to think what could have happened if it blew at speed. Any thought about what caused this? The suspension seems OK...

Further to this & this thread, my dealer has officially diagnosed a faulty accelerator pedal. (btw Ollie thinks this is most probable too, had a chat with him today, delightful, helpful chap, wished I lived nearer:o) They have quoted £140 inc vat for supply and install (half an hour labour...

As some of you may have noticed I like W201s, especially the Cosworth variety. I bought the car in this thread http://z14.invisionfree.com/mercedes_190_club/index.php?showtopic=5075&st=0#entry10126852 I would very much like to fix it and use it. The owners were open and straightforward in...
