stupid

I was coming onto the motorway off a slip road. I put my foot down and the car accelerated as normal. Then i lost all power and could not accelerate. All i could hear was the engine revving, no power being put onto the road. People behind me must have thought i was doing it on purpose. I...

can you get in the UK that air horn fitted that plays Dixie like in The Dukes of Hazard... and are they legal?

If I spray normal car lacquer onto a matt-painted panel, what kind of finish will I get? I want a matt finish, but the paint needs some protection.

Mercedes Woes.. After having my car finally delivered four days late after the date i had personally agreed. And i also booked this day off work. I waited in anticipation for my car to grace my drive. It arrived. I was so happy.. The driver having driven 200 miles form the Merc garage down...

As i keep saying in all my posts (i should really put it in my signiture). I have just bought a c200K coupe 2001. I was pretty happy with it until on the way home from work and this is quite sad that it troubles me so much but I struggled to keep up with a 1.8 astra! Apart from kleeman or...

Just started looking for a 300se merc, I'm looking at an '83 later today. Never had a merc before but they seem very cheap for what you get :) What chassis will that be? w126? Any common faults I should look for? I know they rot around wheel arches and door bottoms but know nothing about the...

I've recently purchased some refurbed AMG wheels off ebay. The specs seem to match my car (an A209) according to the link provided in the original post. The wheels are 17x7.5 front, with a 37 offset, and 17x8.5 rear with a 34 offset. So if that document is correct (and if I'm understanding it...

I live right on the edge of the South coast and I am going to Kent early in the morning. I can use the coast road, thats the A35.A31,A27 to Lewes, then up to Tunbridge Wells, I can see most of it looking out of the rear window of my house. What does Command want to do, go West for 30 miles...

Half an hour ago I hear a car pull up outside my drive, I take a look out and see an almost identical car to mines outside! So in a flash, without thinking I grab my trainers and run outside to see whats going on... just as the car is pulling away. So I run back in grab my keys and jump in the...

There I am on my GSX-R1100 of 90's vintage, cruising at 85 in the outside lane passing the sleeping commuters being calmed into near coma by Radio 2, when a pikey looking Turquoise Shogun decides to drift from Lane 2 to Lane 3, he is almost on top of my heavily braking bike before the shock...

The turn signal assembly of my car came loose and wobbly and I had to remove the steering wheel in order to check and tighten the assembly mounting screws. Since I have taken off the steering wheel, I thought I might as well take out the instrument cluster and clean up the coolant tank warning...

Do dealers (and some private sellers) use an independent company to write their ads, ensuring that whoever writes them has as little car knowledge as possible. Some of the inacuracies in car advert descriptions are comical!

was last evening driving along a dual carriageway stretch of the A322, very erratic & wobble prone in a Toyota Previa. I was cursing him but then realised it must be really quite hard to control a fully laden people carrier when your front offside tyre is shredded and flapping around the rim...

Did a quick service on the car today, plugs, oil, oil filter, airfilter and brake pads. Bought all the bits from the main dealer using my chassis number to make sure they got things right and yet on fitment I found I was supplied the wrong air filter :mad: Dont quite understand how they...

A colleague handed me a laptop earlier, basically windows is destroyed on it and he wanted it reinstalled. It's a Packard-Bell EasyNote, with a handy xp home product key sticker on it. He had no xp home disk so I used someone elses but used the key on the back of the lappie. The...
