Ooooops,,,, I have a tiny ding in my rear bumper :mad:. Looks like someone got a bit too close when parking,,,, although it looks a sharper than just another bumper nudge. I’m hoping to be able to push the ding out,,,, but have no idea how these new fangled bumper/skirts are fixed. The strip...

To cut a long story short, last July as I was driving along the M8 to Bathgate (from Edinburgh) I was about to take the Bathgate junction which is a long tight slip road. Just before this slip road is an overhead bridge (that the slip road doubles back to join up to, locals will know where I...

what a wonderful day it has been. Having been busy with work, decided to take the partner out for a day out at Bushy Park near Richmond... in ofcourse, the wonderful 320 sportline cabrio. The car looked stunning.. what a beautiful girl she is.. and i hope you will agree.. Hope you all are...

There's a "k-d-lunk" noise coming from the rear right of the car if I give it some stick off the line - had a look for loose wheelnuts and stuff but all seems to be in order - anyone got any clues? Doesn't happen under braking or cornering, just from standstill. Have just spend an hour removing...

Someone on here may know the answer to this.... I have been working in Malaysia for the past 4 months flying back and forth. The plan is to move there in March 2009 and live there full time. My dilemma is that cars in Malaysia are damned expensive unless you want a Proton or Perodua. Now...

Just fancied the challenge. So if you dont here from me for a while, the weather got the better of me. :D

It gives me no pleasure to do so, and I have better things to do with my time, but if they break an agreement with money at stake and refuse to talk to me about it, what other option do I have? Last October I put a £500 deposit down on a Viano at M-B Direct. Of course, normally deposits are...

Hi All I've been thinking long and hard about getting a CL500 (probably 2003/4 spec with the 7G 'box) and after getting side tracked with the thought of Ferrari 456 ownership (the maintenance costs scared me!) I've decided that I'm going to get one (hopefully before the summer). I've notice a...

I'm sure I have seen this but can't find it! :confused: I want to take a feed from the back of the cigar lighter so I can add a double power extension socket. Does someone know how to remove the trim so I can get at the back of it and use a ScotchLock? The info I thought I saw illustrated how...

This Monday I'm booked in for my CBT. Looking forward to weekend rides in nice weather on 2 wheels. I only wish MB made a motorcycle . . . :rolleyes:

On Saturday my neighbour watched a guy in his early 20's pull up in a grey Escort Van and take photos of their cars, and then over the road to photograph our cars. Took pictures from front or back (not side) - and the one thing we all have in common is cherished plates. We live on a very quiet...

Hi All, Just a quickie - I was down at Pall Mall earlier in the week and noticed that the wardens were taking digital pics of the cars that they were ticketing. Good idea?

My C36 raining when I took this, will grab some more when I get the chance.

Taking cars apart is a disease thats addictive .... does anyone have a cure?? :crazy:
