trip

My e320 needed an A service and some minor things done. I had been ripped off by an indi in Hounslow and was struggling to find someone who I felt I could trust. :doh: So it is with this in mind that I decided to call Ian Walker from this site. I booked my car in with him and made the 252 mile...

Afternoon All ! As the title suggests I am looking to do a Euro tour with my wife in our new car (2010 C250cdi Auto). We have managed to narrow the trip down to the following: Calais to luxembourg Luxembourg to Munich (Via Stuggart - Mercedes Museum tour) Munich to Zurich - Via German...

I love these old Top Gears and this one from '83 is a peach! Look out for a test of the then new MB 190 (19.08), the birth of speed cameras, the Austin Meastro (my dad had one :eek:), concept of Saab convertible and just 30 year old nostalgia. Bring on Clarkson! :D ooI-EQIDouA

'advice' needed! I'm picking up my new purchase in a couple of weeks from Aberdeen and wondered if anyone who has experience of the route or area could give me some advise on the journey back to London. Advice needed: 1. Disregarding what Google Maps says is it best to take the East or...

We picked up our ML63 AMG about four weeks ago but haven't had chance to go on a proper trip in her until last weekend. We normally take 9 or 10 days away in the caravan over Autumn half term, but a combination of work and decorating meant that a short sharp break was in order. So I booked a...

Hi all, I have located the bulbs for the trip that require changing to ensure the trip illuminates. However, I do not know what bulbs to purchase and how to fit them exactly. More so, dismantling the trip off the circuit board. Any ideas, I have found this link which helps Trip Computer...

Hi all, On the ML is it possible to fit the Overhead trip? I have opened mine up and I can not see the connector for the trip. I will try and upload a picture shortly. The vehicle does not have the trip currently or the Auto-dim mirror. I have looked at wiring diagrams and the...

If this is the sign of things to come, this car wont be around for long with me.... I'm really not impressed that a 5 year old car with 23k miles and full Mercedes Service history should need a new rear Air Suspension/shock absorber strut. So £1600 later and both rear struts replaced (as...

Hi all It's that time of year again when we take a drive to Poland stopping at friends houses on the way down. In total it should be 3000 miles round trip, that's 1200 each way and 600 going here and there. we go on the 1st of August and return on the 11th august, my old 1998 C Class...

Hi All Just back from a trip down to the south of France. Had the car 1 month now and it is a delight on a long trip. Managed to clock up 3500 miles (not bad considering it only had 16k on the clock when I got it a month ago). Previously done similar trips in my wife's E220 but the 280 is a...

Some years ago I used to go to Halfords (and before that, to Ripspeed in Edmonton, who later became part of Halfords) to buy bits I needed, and remembered it as a rather friendly type of place. Around two years ago the battery on the Renault died, and I took the car to Halfords. They were...

Friday evening we sail from Hull to Rotterdam for 9 days touring round Germany. Planning to stay off the autobahns most of the time and take scenic routes, have short drives so not rushing anywhere. We are staying mainly in guest houses outside the towns and cities, I love the personal service...

Here are my findings after seven months and over 13k miles. At each re-fuelling, which tends to be from nearly empty to completely full, I record the "From reset" mpg figure and reset the computer. On average, the computer reads about 2mpg better than actual.

I went to Barons auction at Sandown Park. My observations. The auctioneer was an idiot. He listed faults on cars that didn’t need mentioning, he refused to take a bid of £10,950 on the 220SEB because he “was going up in hundreds” (It sold for £10,900:doh:) and he sold the TVR to someone...

I've never reset my trip meter since the car was new, and it's always been less than a mile difference to the total for the car. I had the Brabus D6S fitted, and when I filled up yesterday (440 miles later) I noticed that the trip is now ~20 miles less than the total for the car - that's...

Hello Can anyone please telll me if a trip computer was ever fitted as standard to ML270's (possibly the later models), or was it only ever an optional extra ? Many thanks.

Why does my average mpg (since reset) creep up when my average mpg (since start) is much lower, surely it should reduce? It's baffling me
