From a W140 S600 Coupe. Part # A1408201202

I got a phone call from my wife yesterday telling me that her car won't start:crazy: . From this moment I wasn't sure what to do, so I thought it must be a women thing. So I told her that I couldn't be bothered to go to tesco car park to find the problem. WAIT WAIT WAIT...

I never quite figured out why the urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart. FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed...

Police will keep driving records for five years. By Sarah Knapton Last Updated: 12:01am BST 15/09/2008 Police plan to map all journeys made by drivers on major roads and store the data for five years...

I have just placed an order for a SLK 200 Kompressor Auto. Delivery in a couple of weeks. Being driving MX5's for 7 years and have loved every minute of it. Can't praise them enough particulary when you consider how cheap they are. Going back to the SLK my test drive was interesting. In most...

Last night my wife was minding her own business getting fuel for our T55AMG. She was stood at the rear of our car happily watching the money mount up on the machine when all of a sudden the pump stopped! A man came running to-wards her shouting in a very loud and excited voice... "Stop for...

Called my local Inchcape to see what haggling I could do over service / work on the new (but not here yet) R129, they ran the VIN said they havent seen it for 18 months (its on assyst) and told me oh its in here now :eek: Why I asked - well the roof needs resetting and it probably needs a new...

So 600 on the allowance, that's 120 quid off at 20% 600 off the 40% threshold - that's 240 quid extra tax at 40%? So am I right in thinking that 40% payers are 120/yr worse off with todays announcement or am I miscalculating it?

As a truely British car any more? :confused: A car that has all its major components MADE (not just assembled) in Britain? TVR was the last one I can think of, but of course they are no more. Morgan? Bristol? Noble? ?????? If the answer is in the negative, what a sorry state of affairs. :mad...

It appears that whilst putting some of the trim back together on my CLK (W209) I managed to drop a screw into the gear box selector :crazy: Whilst it doesn't appear to have caused any problems I am worried about it being in there! Any ideas how to get the thing out ? Is it likely to blow...

My first little mod to the CLK, not that i condone speeding But just in case;) :p :D

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!

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?

My Mothers first job was working at De Havilands in St Albans during WW2, building Mosquito fighter/bombers. Her first task there was to help build, she told us, wooden electrical stuff for a magician who was supposedly a spy. He then blew it all up, supposedly in some sort of accident. But...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
