    Little thing make a big difference to Braodband Speed

    Over the past week my internet speed has been dropping, until last Friday it was 1-1.25Mb on an alleged 60Mb feed. My dear friends at NTL, with unusual haste, sent an "engineer" out yesterday. He fiddled around a bit, went off to the box housing the cable end, came back fiddled some more and...

    A Good or a Bad Thing?

    News that as of today police can now act as judge jury and executioner for certain motoring offences. The new fines are part of changes giving the police powers to issue fixed-penalty notices for careless driving. Typical will be £100 and 3 points which might be for tailgating or lane...

    boot locker/storage thing

    I have one of those FANTASTIC book cubbies for the back of an S211 floating around in my warehouse. It has black/seriously dark grey carpet and is almost invisible from the boot but when you flip down the seatbacks it reveals this hidden, secure storage unit. I used it a lot and loved it...

    The first thing you broke on your new MB

    7 months new and I broke something. Was rooting around in the boot, getting to know the spare wheel etc, and thought I'd remove the small black plastic carpet clips at the back, there's two, one left and one right. Little did I know the little black cap was egg shell thin and brittle as a very...

    ML remote locking doing its own thing

    Could open the car, then got it open and boot would not close. Found 1" of water in the bottom of the wheel arch well below the trunk fuse box. Dried it all out, pulled a few relays and fuses out and hey-presto all working again. Need to find out how the water is getting in!!

    Is a rusty Mercedes a thing of the past???

    I am thinking of selling my CL600 (this is not a for sale advert)and purchasing a CLS, probably the 500. Several questions for my fellow members. Has the rust problem on Mercedes vehicles (cars) now a thing of the past?, on say a 3 to 4 year old vehicle. Is the CLS a fine vehicle to own? I...

    Strange thing with Comand NTG 2.5

    Just noticed that on Comand NTG 2.5 you can't type a phone number while driving. Now I'm a big fan of safety, but two questions beg an answer. 1) What happens if your passenger wants to type a number. 2) Why does the 5 key have an "accessibility lump" on it. I'm assuming that blind people...

    Car for 16 year olds. Good thing or not?

    Just read about this in one of our local free papers and wondered if it seems like a good or bad idea on UK roads, but as I don't know any of the legislation or restrictions relating to their use I can't decide. I can see points for and against, what are your thoughts?

    After seeing this I am convinced that too many options are a bad thing

    Used S500 DESIGNO AMG Sports Pack for sale - PistonHeads (Ref 1096427) The interior is a bit yuk but the exterior...hideous The interior would maybe work with a black car if you like that sort of thing, but that paint colour should not be available to S class buyers. It makes the car look...

    What is the thing in the upper part of the centre armrest on my R230 SL500 ?

    Inside the upper section is a plastic fitting on the drivers side with three sprung loaded round covered openings facing inwards. At first I thought they were for cigarette lighter plugged accessories but they are too close to the HFP puck for that and the sprung covers just push straight in...

    ABC suspension; a good thing or a nightmare?

    I will be looking at, and test driving, a 2008 “Sport Edition” SL350 this coming week. I believe that there is a possibility that the vehicle has ‘Active Body Control’ suspension. Whilst this initially seems like a bonus, I am concerned that if it goes wrong it will cost a fortune to fix...
