Hi all, newbie here. Had a number of C Class estates, for even more space I now have an old E Class. Not 'interesting old', it's a 2000 model E240 (2.4 engine) in pretty good shape, bought it with 98,000 miles and full MB service history. Pretty gutless, tbh, and around 30mpg, but very...

I have an E320 sport with 120K on the clock and a white smoke problem. When the car is started it can sometimes take a while to start (5-6 seconds) and when it starts a puff of white smoke is emitted. If I turn the ignition onto position 3 for 10 seconds prior to start the engine starts...

So I've had a clicking sound for a little while and the car is booked in with the doc. However, just wondering if anyone can hazard a guess as to what it could be. I thought was the SC pulley but I noticed it got louder this week and on closer listening, it is actually coming from the...
