Had a quick drive of a Diesel 220 CLA AMG Sport shooting brake today for about an hour. Fantastic looking car, it was an AMG Sport on 18" wheels with the lowered suspension. Its front wheel drive and handles superbly, stiff on the suspension, very taught and precise. Its priced at £35k no...

Hi All, As some of you may be aware there is a new 77mm Supercharger pulley (twin bearing) available from MSL and manufactured via UPD. It offers the ability to match the power / torque figures of the tried and tested 180mm crank pulley and as such, potentially offers owners a new pulley to...

I had a 64 plate C200 Diesel B Class yesterday, Nice quiet engine compared to my 62 Reg C Class Sport Plus, but not for me, I didn't like the body roll and front wheel drive, nice high up driving position. It was an auto like my C Class, it felt a bit cheaper inside. It had 18" wheels so felt...

Took a Yas Marina Blue (colour) M3 out for a good test drive today. Looks wise, for the interior and exterior I think the M3 looks fantastic – absolutely no doubts there for me. I also seem to prefer the M3 over the M4 for now although I typically would look to get the coupe. These were my...

HI guys, I have been trying to arrange a test drive of the C300 Hybrid for over two months, but without success. I will spare you my boring story, but the bottom line is that so far it has been impossible to find any C300 Hybrid available for a short test drive in the North West of England...

I folks, first post here and hope to get some help. I have a SLK 200k 2007 It has just failed the mot, i have very sooty exhaust pipes, the garage has said it requires a new intake manifold air control actuator bank 2 supply voltage low? He says these are around £750 +. Anyone have any views...

We thought this week would be quiet with the bank holiday but thankfully not, so come on which one would you road test first? :confused::confused: https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/t31.0-8/10549940_714774215224687_3245289593853320216_o.jpg...

As title, our suppliers sent us the latest h7 cree led bulbs. I tested them on my Mercedes clk w209 as a replacement for the h7 high beam bulb. Results. Amazingly they were very very bright, did get errors but our h7 resistors solved that, when flashing they look awesome. Have a look at...

I really am my own worst enemy when it comes to cars. After 8 months in with my C63 Coupe (ppp) - I'm now after something with a little more grunt. After coming from a GTR, it kind of set a bench mark. I wasn't expecting the C63 to perform like the GTR but as each day goes by, I realise now...

Thanks to MB Bishop’s Stortford, I had this for 24 hours over the weekend. It impressed me much more than I expected it to. Engine: The 3.5 liter V6 is smooth, almost turbine like, and quite quick (this is relative!) once it gets going. However, it is too quiet, and what...

New test as below....

The Yanks quietly continue with their manned space program development ORION Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV)with this capsule recovery parachute test- designed to splash down in the ocean- goes back to the 60'S technology having seemingly abandoned reuseable vehicles for now. There are...

I drove the M3 today - black on black - looked excellent. Problem was it had 24 miles on the clock, so I was quite restricted in what I could do. This car will be for sale in 3 months so I am glad they didn't say thrash it tbh but I did mention to the dealer that demoing cars to people who...

Hi all! I'm currently writing a dissertation on civil recovery and have seen mention of a legal case I'd like to read. Unusually, I don't have a case citation - all I have is that a House of Lords decision (following on from the Operation Julie LSD case of 1978) held that £750,000 of seized...

Hi my car failed on smoke test 2008 S320 diesel, Smoke was 5.340/m Limit is 3.00/m I recently replaced a cracked inter cooler hose so hopefully this was contributing to the problem, but is there anything else I can do to reduce smoking? Car was nice and warm for test? Thanks C

The August edition of What Car magazine (publication date 26th June) will contain a road test report comparing the new W205 C Class to it's rivals. Although there have been some first drive reports, etc. I'm surprised there haven't been any full road test reports in Autocar, AutoExpress or...
