Hi all, First time MB owner and first post here :D I am purchasing a 98 Mercedes ML 320 petrol. After doing a few searches am I correct in thinking it is a "W163"? Presumably the MB model or version number? It's just over 100k and I understand the gear oil will need to be replaced if it...

On a switchable autobox as fitted to a '94 W124, when's it actually IN Sport mode? With the 'S' visible or the 'E'? Stop laughing at the back. :D

Anyone remember Top gear used to show each week t poeple who had multiple or massive exhausts on their crappy cars or even decent cars that then look stupid After seeing quad set up with 4" pipes on a vw passat estate today got me thinking if people still see any around!!

Hi Please be gentle, this is my first post I had a 2002 c class coupe and today traded it in for a late 2007 c class sport saloon (face lift model with the mean grill :D ) My coupe's central console/armrest opened up, useful space inside The saloon has a spilt armrest but it does not...

How 'electronic' are modern electronic transmissions? Would they recognise an idiot at the controls by not going into reverse at 70mph, for example?

It may be a stupid question - but how the hell do you set the clock in the speedo of a R171 280 SLK? The manual suggests you do it via the menu's - unless you have the command system (as that gets it's time from the GPS). Well - I've got the command system, and that tells me it has the correct...

2004 W211 with retrofit NTG1 COMAND. Radio settings have RDS enabled. Clock settings on the COMAND system need to be changed manually. My mum's 1986 Astra changes its clock automatically twice a year, why not my Merc? :confused::doh::wallbash::D

The head gasket has gone on my car :mad: Ive only just rebuilt the cam chain with new sprockets chain and guide rails , and a full service . So now the HG has gone . Sometimes I hate my car

Yesterday on the A1 I lost power and had a BANG BANG BANG. Turned out to be an injector seized open. The fuel (and plenty of it!) was pre-igniting. Engine survived. I keep having to repair stuff to keep this w124 going. I was wondering what next after replacing small items like the head gasket...

I've not used Windows 7 and understand that it comes without an internet browser. So here's the stupid question. If I get a pc with windows 7 and it doesn't have a web browser how do I log onto the net to download one? :doh: I'm sure I am missing something:confused:
