    Removing Phone Harness thing?

    How does one remove the telephone holder thingy in the glove box? I'm sure there's a REALLY simple technique, but I'm terrified of doind some damage!

    Funniest Thing of 2007

    This photo is apparently genuine. The men were told to concrete in some steel posts to stop people parking on the pavement. They are clearing up at the end of the day. Problems?

    This thing called Command is stupid

    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...

    Wobbly DAS thing - also known as ignition barrel

    Apologies for the cryptic title. My facelift 202 has the infra-red key which plugs into the 'ignition' barrel/switch. However the chrome trim around the key switch fell off the other day. As a result the barrel assembly flopped about under the dash. I managed to get it back together after partly...

    A strange thing happens in the morning when I start my E230

    I get an electronic "buzzing" sound coming from the interior light control consul above the mirror.I know its coming from here as it sounds muffled when I put my fingers over the vents.It only happens in the morning, and if I knock the engine off and start it again it usually goes away. Anybody...

    ABS - a wonderful thing

    I bought my 1990 300TE-24 in March this year. 236K on the clock, a great deal of service history and 12 mths MOT. It appeared to have been well looked after. The main reason for purchase was the load capacity as the other family cars are a Saab 9-3 Aero convertible and an MGTF, no space in...

    Naffest thing I've ever seen on a car !

    Driving home from work one night last week I saw a silver 07 reg Ford Focus a few yards ahead. As I approached it I noticed something rather odd on the back where the engine size badge would be. It had the "FOCUS" badge on the left but instead of seeing "TDCi" or "1.6" etc on the right the...

    The Worst Thing About Returning From Holiday...

    ...when you take your car, is usually clearing all the sand out of all the nooks and crannies. For me, this time it's having to get an estimate for the repairs to my car after it was hit in a car park in Croyde. Of course, the culprit didn't own up and there was no CCTV... After a bit...

    The only thing my wife dislikes about my car..

    Is that she now gets cold feet when sat in the back (she likes to sit next to the baby). Should the rear footwells have heaters?

    Taste is an individual thing

    It looks like one of those Chinese copies that have been posted on the internet. But no, this is a real W210 butchered by some idiot somewhere on t'internet. /edit: Actually, its not a W210 at all. Please ban me for thinking such filth.

    Probably The Most Stupid Thing One Can Do To The Instrument Cluster.

    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...

    USA-Every thing is a 500

    Just got back from Florida, and more or less every E,SL and S Class out there was a 500. Even every W202 was a 280 or bigger. In two weeks I only spotted one C220. Mind you, at 35p a litre I suppose they can afford to run the V8 500's.....Lucky sods-I'm emigrating :)

    The last thing I remember [ joke]

    :) We were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" in bed last night. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to make love?" "No." She answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?" Yes." She replied. So I said, " I'd like to phone a friend." That's the last thing I...

    CLS - a thing of beauty

    I was at a small motor show in Glasgow last weekend and was able to sit in and have a good look around the cls. It is really impressive. Best looking car for years from MB. Anybody got one. Are they as good to drive? Be smug and tell all. I thought the £50k price tag was a touch high.
