On my morning walk could not believe how many people have so much stuff hanging from the rear view mirror ! One car locally the guy has worry beads, pair of boxing gloves, air freshner , religious medallion and a smallish picture of his kids . I bet 50% of the cars had some thing dangling in the...

I have recently bought a CLK 270 CDI and it runs perfectly if a little noisy when cold but nothing out of the ordinary. After doing a little research i have found out a few issues with regards to injectors (black death) EGR and inlet manifold and swirl flaps. My injectors are fine but I...

We had an almighty thunder storm yesterday with heavy bursts of rain and hail. When my brother went out to his BMW X5 later on he found all 4 windows had decided to open themselves half way leaving a bit of mopping up to do. Anyone heard of similar tales?

Just saw this article from a Chinese car site when browsing around.... By the way, it's not a translation, this is actually what was said... Not sure I'd like it if my car did that.. :D Link here: Beijing Auto C70G pops up before the Beijing Auto Show | CarNewsChina.com - China Auto News

Mercedes-Benz E500 Elegance | eBay Apart from no mention of servicing take a look at the tyres, a different brand on each wheel. I may seem pedantic but after seeing that I would think the owner doesn't really car for proper maintenance hence I would never consider looking. What things put...

I am pursuing a C55 purchase as I am selling my BMW 02 track day car as it has just been too problematic - all the issues are now sorted, but I can't climb in to it without fearing the worst. The car would be used for a few track days and also for some V8 fun. I am going to crack on and look...

Cluster reported an indicator bulb out so I stuck on the hazards to help me identify if it was front or rear. Front was fine so I walked to the rear of the car and smiled. Those lovely boffins at Mercedes decided that, in the event of an indicator bulb failing, the reverse light would flash as...

I've had my E270 CDI Elegance W211 for a month now and, in the main, loving it. However, there are two little (I hope) things that are really starting to wind me up: 1. I'm getting an annoying wind whistle from somewhere when I hit 70 mph. Any way of finding out where it's coming from and...

Yesterday I got one of those dreaded phone calls from the wife to say "the car's doing something funny:eek:" Apparently the indicators, blower, wipers and windows all stopped working during a journey. It seems like there were no other symptoms and no warnings were displayed on the dash. It...

Hello all fellow Mercedes enthusiasts I would love to know what you all miss about Mercedes from back in the days ? To get us started 2 things that I miss are the weird & wonderful colours that new owners used to order their Mercedes in. Today all Mercs are sadly either silver or black but...

Hi all - I have two Alpine amps to go into the car. Its a 1999 E55 AMG. The smaller amp is 2 channel, the larger is a V12 4-channel. They are both mounted on boards at the moment with the cables disappearing behind the boards so it's nice & neat. I'm wanting ideas from people who've...

Would a 93/94 SL320 have the wiring loom issue? Do interiors come up for sale very often? The car I am having is black but with a grey interior. Would much prefer tan or black inside etc. Many thanks.

Not sure if this has been done before so my appologies if it has. There are several things that really annoy me about other drivers in general and thought I would see what your pet hates are. I have compiled a list of the things I find most inconsiderate and aggravating and attached a poll...
