test

There was an article in Evo magazine a few months ago about manufacturers supplying "fettled" cars to the press for tests without making it generally known that the wheels on test are anything other than bog standard. This got me thinking about a few things. As I have been waiting for the new...

My 17 year old son passed his driving test today after 52 hours driving with good ole dad :) As he set off it snowed but he coped and passed. :bannana:

Interesting video showing comparative crash tests for nine family cars of the 1990s. The German cars show up well but some of the others, like the Honda Legend, are truly scary LQH6MLTSDZ4 Nick Froome

Exhaust CATS and upcoming MOT changes... As we approach the revised MOT I think 01/2012, is there any more knowledge about the CAT situation (specifically regarding those with multiple CATS and 1 or more having been removed) i.e.: "No, your car still has a CAT fitted, regardless of how many...

Following on from the recent buying online thread I came across a new car video road test review from CAR AND DRIVING on the Autobytel website. There are lots of video reviews online from Honest John, What Car, Parkers, Car Buyer MSN etc but this one struck me as particularly detailed. Its...

Hi, newbie here. I've a suspicion that the fan control module on my 1999 C200 (W202) isn't working properly, but I'm actually not sure. My car hasn't overheated, but sat in town traffic on Saturday I felt that the cooling fan wasn't cutting in when the temperature gauge reached the point where...

After coming precariously close to reaching 120c in a motorway tailback earlier today, I had a look at the viscous fan, which I think is dead (can be freely spun with the engine off, and continues freely rotating for a few seconds after the engines is switched off) To add insult to injury, the...

I was at Goodwood today on an AMG trackday, along with CSR, we both got to test drive some AMG cars, and I got a lenghty spell in the new C63 coupe, gotta tell you all so impressed, I,d have loved to have taken on the track, but it was the local roads only, its performance,brakes, suspension...

I just thought I'd post this to see what other thought I should do. Took my C class for its MOT test on tuesday to the MOT test station I have used for last few years. Left car with them as they said about a hour and half wait. (I went to my mates house for a brew while it was being done)...

Hi! Went to a local garage the other day to have them check why my BAS/ESP light comes up on a intermittent basis. They didn't know but they kindly hooked their computer to my car and read the fault codes. They cleared the fault codes to have a "fresh start" and see what code(s) will come up...

Since I've owned my S211 E320CDI 2008 (V6) it has had a slight vibration at idle (700rpm) felt through the steering wheel and driver's seat. MB Central have accepted it isn't how it should be and have previously changed the engine and gearbox mounts, but to no avail. They raised a query with...
