trip

A summer trip to northern Italy is on the cards this Summer 2012. I've not sorted out how to get there yet but I'm wondering what to change/check before I set off e.g. polybelt - I've changed that; I had a leak on the HP Diesel pump so I changed the lot, including pipes; I'll change tyres, if...

Not sure how accurate it is supposed to be but I am not convinced by the MPG reading right. Reset at petrol station yesterday morning (reset trip, from reset and from start). MPG on from start was around 22 when I got home. This morning the from start had reset (as it does after about 4 hours I...

In a similar vein to my previous "spotted" threads, I thought I'd share some more photos of cars I saw during my trip to Frankfurt at the beginning of December 2011. I like Mercedes, you like Mercedes, so hopefully you'll enjoy the following! :) First up, a Brabus modified G-Wagon. It...

Hi everyone, I am 20 years old, and have recently bought my first merc, a 1987 W124 (230 E). I live in Denmark, and car prices here are roughly double when compared to the UK. Me and two mates are currently planning a european roadtrip. Due to our age (early 20's), renting anything is either...

Anyone fancy a 2012 weekend trip to the home of AMG and/or the Nurburgring?

A friend has just bought a 2004 BMW 645Ci (V8, 4.4L, 333bhp, petrol, auto) and he took me out in it. The impression I came away with was.................... how good (relatively speaking) my V6 272bhp oil burner is, in terms of noise supression, refinement and performance. Don't get...

A friend has bought a R107 280sl. He's asked me to bring it back from Ilfracombe to Manchester so should be an interesting day this Saturday with 6.5 hrs on the train and a bus ride just to get there. I'll get some pics up when I get back.

I’ve not been on here as much of late due to work commitments taking over my life. However, last Friday and Saturday I undertook a trip to York, via a superlong shift on Friday and a late night drive down to Carlisle to break my journey so I could be in York early AM and not be tired...

I have just purchased a ML270 cdi 04 plate and hoping to put the trip computor in the light section. I am hoping that someone may have done this mod and what is involved as the main problem I see is that the alarm hook button is where the mode button would be on the Trip. Can anyone help re...

Just a few pictures of my car outside MB Museum. Didnt get a chance to wash it as we had so much to do in so little time!...

Guys After Sunday’s meet one of the things that was mentioned to me was "When are we doing the next event for the AMG boys". Well something I have been thinking about doing for a while and listening to Benilux, Palmball and my Audi pal Nigel the ring seems to be a calling as these guys have...

I with a group of mates are going to Brooklands Museum Weybridge early Oct and have researched the museum but not what to do at night there. We are all young and fancy nightlife, ie pubbing etc. Where is the main drag of pubs in Weybridge and is there a vibrant nightlife within them at a...

Reiserechner Mercedes-Benz 300 E/CE/TE W124 W 124 | eBay Now..how much of a challenge would this be to retro!? im assuming a mammouth task. :eek:

As I was off work today as was my cousin we felt a spot of driving and luncheon was in order, despite the looting 200 miles plus away from us and the weather.... Life goes on and all that. We left from Helensburgh in his Subaru impreza, of which I have wrote about previously. Onto Inverarry...

Just returned from a short European road trip driving holiday from the UK to Barcelona & can honestly say that the C350 CDI performed brilliantly over 2360 miles of driving. Stats from reset : 2361 miles covered Avg Speed : 54 mph Avg Consumption 44.4 Mpg 46:35 h Driving Time Just...

Soon off to Europe and probably do around 2500 - 3000 miles. Gave the car a quick clean....with a little one helping and other things to sort it will do for now :) First as it was a nice day I did the Sweetpea 'Seatbelt' clean...as my trim is grey I was amazed at the colour of the water...

Well that's our trip over :( 3200 miles through France, up through Italy and over the stelvio then through Switzerland and finally France again with a bit of Belgium. Car averaged 36.1 mpg over the whole trip which I am more than impressed with. pics to follow if anyone is interested. Daz

on the 'after reset' trip menu does the total mileage reset back to zero after 1000 miles or does it just carry on. We go on holiday next week and i'd like to keep a record of the mileage we do so if it restarts i'll need to make a note elsewhere. Daz

Well my R107 500SL has behaved itself for 600 miles barring a few minor issues which are being resolved... so a road trip beckons. My dad lives in Dunnet Head which is the Northern most point of Mainland UK, and normally if I drive up, the A9 is my route, however, this time I want to do...
