Hello all, this is my first post so hi! Im looking to buy a CL55 AMG from 2003 onwards. I saw this car on Autotrader. 2004 MERCEDES-BENZ CL CL55K 2DR AUTO.....EXTREMELY HIGH SPEC ++ Just wondered what you guys thought of it. Is there anything in particular i should be looking out for? I...

As per title, due to 3 child seats not sitting in the back of my car I'm seriously thinking about trading my c class in for the new Hyundai Santa Fe (2010) Does anyone have any thoughts about this??? Any experience ( I appreciate this is a new model) All the car websites seem to give it a...

Dear Forum, I'm thinking of Buying a new Vito Sport X LWB Dualiner...any thoughts please? I wish i had ordered about ten days ago as the price has just gone up by 10% approx..... Is the difference between the sport and the sport X worth the extra money? Also i've seen available a...

I am a newbie to the site so don't be too harsh if I've raised this on the wrong forum category but... I finally got my new w204 delivered last Friday :) and although I had a C class about 7 years ago have forgotten what MB is all about. Having been driving a 530d for the past 4 years I've had...

Just a quickie: My 300ce-24 has a catalyst. Cold start excellent and smooth, as always. It has some hesitation problems when warm so I checked again the duty cycle, fully warmed up. Ignition on, engine off - 50% solid. Ignition on, engine idling - 50% +/- 4 or 5%. - settles back to this...

Ollie and anybody else care to comment ? I'm considering a 1990 300CE on a G plate to replace current W203 C240. I can live with a slightly worse mpg and don't mind having an older car that looks good. 300CE looks good, what should I look out for ?

Seriously considering updating and getting a C320cdi sports pack on or around 2006. can you share any thoughts with me about known problems!! equally anything that you feel is quite special about the C320. Any alternative recommendations welcomed. need to be same size or larger than C...

Out of the blue today someone asked if they might buy Mrs B's Audi. Since getting the SLK she's hankered after an automatic and I've always said I'd sell the (manual) Audi at some point and get her a car with an auto box. Possibilities are a VW Golf where there seem to be a few about and I'm...

Greetings, Citizens. You may or may not be aware that I've been considering returning to the fold.. however my attempts at buying an AMG SLK have fallen by the wayside. I'm therefore looking at a CLK.. with the proviso that is must have a V8 nestling under the bonnet. Three likely candidates...

My wife is nagging me for a cabrio, and we have settled on a CLK Cab Sport as there are some cracking deals to be had at the mo, because the car is about to be replaced. I got her up from a Mini! Any owners got any thoughts? Simon

Hi all I had noticed a little odd burning smell on Thursday whilst driving the 4 miles from work but thought it might have been external as there was nothing to show an issue, but when the wifey complains after her drive back from a girls weekend in Centre Parcs (tough life innit!) as she had...

I was looking through autotrader and saw a Bentley Arnage at £20K. Thats nothing for a modern Bentley is it? It was 1999, had 50K on it and FSH. Bentleys aren't really beaten up at that age are they-since only certain types can afford to buy, and run them. Insurance group 20 and 6.75litre...

Hi, Happy New Year to everyone on this top forum! I want to pick your brains about a potential new car purchase. My 3 year PCP is up on my 2006 Black W203 Advantgarde with Sports Pack which I had from new. I have done just under 20k in it - and I have a balloon of around 12k on it...

My Mercedes CLC 180k Sport – 1000 mile review Well I’ve had my new CLC for just under a month now and thought I’d give it 1000 miles before really making any initial judgments. I’ve now clocked up the said mileage and thought I’d do a brief summary of my thoughts. I’m pleased to say...

im hoping to sell my business this week, so my van will have to go and ill be needing a car, my van is just over a year old and i payed £15700 plus vat for it, im expecting a hefty drop but my mate who works for a mb main dealer is prepared to do a straight swap for this...

Hi, I have been posting about new shocks and i firstly (as usual) started at the lower end of things. I have now woken up to the fact that, that really won't cut it.. I am looking at Bilstein Sport shocks. Part# (front) B36-1854 Part# (Rear) B36-1855 Firstly do you guys think...

Guys, My uncle has recently imported an MX5 with this head unit in, which i am pretty interested in http://84.232.172.199/japan/mdaw900j.html I currently run a single din Alpine CDA 9833r, do you guys think the double Din would look good in a merc or is it a bit too much? Thanks in advance...

Due to a change in my needs, Im thinking of changing my daily drive. The ML320 CDI is a fantastic car and I have no complaints, but since losing my dog a few months ago I no longer need such a large car. I love the 320 CDI engine, so would like to stick it. I have been looking at CLK320...

So, with my '03 W220 S500L sold, I've been schlepping round the dealerships looking for my next carriage. Have looked at just about every car that's worth looking at (and a fair few that aren't!) and I've come over all queasy. Reason? I really rather like the new Skoda Superb (the one that...
