traffic

Often when I'm sitting a jam I turn the engine off. Then, as the queue starts moving I re-start the engine and continue. I'm lucky having keyless-go, so its not a great effort. But I did wonder what the down side might be in terms of the service interval. Would this style of driving get me...

I've got a '99 210 300TD estate. I notice that after driving around there's a sound like a buzz or moan at 1200 to 1400 rpm. I think it's something resonnating, but haven't been able to trace it. It's not A/C. Seems to be comming from front left wheel arch area. Any one had a similar experience...

Hi all, Could you please help me with a query? I had my C43 serviced (B) by Mercedes about a month ago (£720!). Ever since, the car has intermittently "died" upon braking to a stop at traffic lights. 1: Having had it towed to Merc after the 3rd occurence and it not restarting, I have...

Just a quickie... Been loaned a W211 Elegance by my dealer and the TA's on the radio are driving me nuts. How do I turn them off, please? (I can't RTFM coz there isn't one in the car :( )

Noticed some new (but not switched on) traffic lights have appeared at the bottom of the slip road at J8/9 of the M4. How is that supposed to work?? Seems like a ridiculous idea to me unless someone here can convince me otherwise.

I have owned my EClass for 4 years and have just discovered this :bannana: I was getting really frustrated as it seemed mad that if you got an RDS TA traffic announcement you could not cancel it from the Multi Function wheel you have to reach over and press any button on the Comand Unit...

Since I still haven't got a european manual for my Comand 2.0 unit I wonder the following; The TMC function works for navigation but I would still like to have the TP - "Traffic Programme" information as well. On my Audio 10 CD it worked perfectly (it came on when I was tuned to other radio...

I am currently struggling with the Audio 20 in the SLK. I want to get the RDS traffic reports so they interupt CD or even Radio. e.g. Set Radio to Radio 4 and then when a BBC local radio station like Radio Northants or Coventry and Warwickshire or West Mids gives out a message it over...

Anyone any experience of this unit http://www.activegps.co.uk/becker-traffic-assist-pro-7916.htm

I was driving out of London on the A4 towards the Hogarth roundabout, and spotted a gantry on nearside with a row of 5/6 grey cameras facing the traffic. Came back in later on the A40 and saw the same again London bound near Hillingdon. Anyone know what they're for?

thinking about these for car any thoughts.:confused:

W210 E55 very annoyingly cuts out when the moving slowly in traffic, car moves along, cuts out, then a random combination of locking and unlocking or just turning the key restarts it, any ideas?
