    I've recently changed cars from a W211 E240 to a R230 SL500. I've noticed drivers now tailgate me much more often and much closer when I'm in the overtaking lane of a dual carrigeway or motorway. I am not guilty of sitting there when there's room to pull back in safely. I will not be pushed into...

    Revs rising on slow 3rd -> 4th changes

    I'm not sure if there is anything wrong here - but I have noticed it recently and it's bugging me. If I accelerate steadily, so the box changes gears between 2000 and 2500rpm, the change from 3rd -> 4th is very slow and seems odd. Initially the revs increase by 200-300rpm then after about 1...

    Slow folding mirror on W210

    One of my mirrors takes a lot longer to fold in & out compared to the other side. Not a major problem I know, I just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem and if it was a motor fault or something restricting it.

    I seen to have developed a noise at car park speeds, most noticeable at full lock at the bottom of ramps - sounds like outside front tyre is scrubbing - perhaps that all it is, as the car is doing it's best to go straight on even though speed is slow. The sound does give the impression of tread...

    Slow Cold Starting W210 320CDI

    Recently noticed much longer starter turning before the engine fires on these cold mornings [up to 10s on the starter]. Wondered what likely causes were. Am about 5000 miles away from a B service with 85k miles in total. Once started needs a prod or two on the throttle to liven up but after that...

    ML270 Cdi slow starting.

    For several weeks I've been aware of the car taking slightly longer than normal to fire up from cold. Well this morning it was not having it, after several attemps it refused to fire at all.

    W202 SRS slow to go out after dashboard cluster removal

    Had to remove the cluster on my 1996 W202 to replace the backlight bulb for the odometer.

Replaced the bulb and put every thing back together...

    W124 slow to start

    Sometimes, my 300TE takes a while to start; I have to hold the key in the ignition for about 3-5 seconds before it will spring into life. Once it has started, it will run fine. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to this; the other day I started it from cold and it started right on the key...
