track

Just a quick one to say I finally managed to do a dry track day, after a soaking wet one back in August. Rockingham International Long circuit layout on Saturday with bookatrack. Loads of fun. Car was one of the slower ones there to be honest - those nimble Caterhams, Clio race cars and...

Hi all Not a regular poster but here for some help and advice. I have a E320 04 plate that has been squeaking at the front end. I knew it was suspension related and in all probability a dry bush of sorts. This weekend this has turned into a "knock" when turning the wheel and pulling away and...

Well... arrived early with four spare wheels in the back and a plan to change all four. The torrential rain made me change my mind so I stayed on the road rubber - Falken 452s with tread. Sighting lap and first session gave way to open pit lane for the rest of the day. I'd already caught up...

Hi all, Was thinking of a nice day out at Silverstone next month and am sure other people here have done the same. Only have a C220 and spend most of my time driving it carefuly up and down the motorway tring to acheive maximim MPG and not getting (as much) joy out of it as I should , so I...

I must admit I have had worse days! :D I was invited along by Mercedes to Goodwood today, for a track day with a difference, a day driving round the Goodwood circuit, but in whatever high end Mercedes cars I wanted, and for as many times as I wanted too, with no restrictions on speed or any...

I'm putting together a list of all the track days in the UK with a searchable database etc. It's just a hobby site because I do quite a few track days myself in a Caterham and I got fed up having to visit 30 different organisers to find a suitable day. www.trackdaylist.com I'm after feedback...

Had my track rod ends replaced on the C55 today by MB as part of the MOT (under warranty thankfully). My steering wheel is ever so slightly off centre as a result - should they perform a geometry check and wheel alignment after fitting new track rod ends!?! I don't think they have done, although...

So i bought the c230k After using the father in laws 96 plate for a while . It goes ok and will do the job , I did'nt know about the launch control and have no fun in corners control that came on the 99 models but after unplugging the abs sensors in the boot thats sorted . Next i want a...

Slightly worn (apologies for rubbish phone pic) Thanks Olly for the excellent service and for changing the plugs as well

With trepidation I set out yesterday for my first ever track day. My Parents bought me a day at Knockhill for my birthday. I turned up early to get my bearings and chat to others and watch some of the other kit turn up. Many and varied would sum the metal on display, two Aerial Atoms, and old...

So I went to Brands Hatch yesterday afternoon and had a great time:bannana: Anyway an extra nice surprise was to see two BTCC heroes present – Colin Turkington 2008 BTCC Independent Drivers' Champion and Fabrizio Giovanardi – the current champion. I didn’t manage to go on track with them...

Okay just a quick post in hope rather than expectation. The Toyota IQ (Panasonic based Nav/audio system) is throwing up a quirk in MP3 track order: It ain't always correct - one of the following happens: 1 - All OK 2- Out of order, this is not as you would think - it isn't in...

Barely two months after replacing two wheels because I hit a kerb which also involved having the OSF track rod end and ball joint replaced and steering geometry realigned I get it back from the MOT today with an Advisory Notice from the testing centre that there is play in both NSF and OSF ball...

A friend of mine recently had a Dension GW500 installed in his 2007 SL500. The iPod does not display track or playlist names ( as he was advised prior to fitting ) but the independent guy that fitted it reckoned there may be a firmware update for the comand unit that would allow track names to...
