    Another MSL first and maybe just in the nick of time!!

    I was at MSL again today for some upgrade work namely SLS valve buckets, ARP Cam phaser bolts and ARP head studs. A lot of fiddly work especially resetting the timing and to get it spot on, hats off to Adrian who had it spot on with the first attempt. But all in all a good days works just to...

    Time to come back into the fold?

    I got rid of my last Mercedes in Nov 2008 having had a very disappointing experience (E320 W210 - corrosion and broken engine!). I am now considering rejoining the clan. I have been looking at buying a new E class estate in order for me to have the colour and options I want. But have just...

    Why does my car select first gear all the time?

    Just recently started (see other threads) but it seems my car has started to select first gear rather than second when coming to a halt. Anyone know why this might happen? Makes life un smooth.

    Is it time I joined the PCP brigade?

    Hi all, Been considering a used M Class for a while now but can't find a good spec low milage etc. So been talking to couple of local dealers to see if they can source something.

    Order in time for winter.

    I've been searching for a decent "roof down mid winter non leather jacket" for some time and stumbled on this line of clothing. Merino wool with possum lining. I bought a 36.6 jersey; looks smart, weighs 1 kg, [2 lbs] and frankly it's almost too warm - makes me sweat. Thought members might...

    I have a c200 W202 (petrol) that seems to refuse to accelerate for about 3-4 seconds every morning after starting from cold. It always happens about 2 minutes after leaving the house. Very weird. Power just drops away and I slow down before it comes back. ECU/gearbox problem? Edit: could low...
