If you’ve spent any time using a smartphone, you’ve likely come across QR code stickers, letting you redeem a coupon or get some snippet of information. Mercedes-Benz plans to start putting such codes in its vehicles, but for a nobler reason: making it easier for first responders to access...

Was just looking at the price of road tax and wondering what tax band my car would be in under the post March 2001 classification. I have an E280 estate 1999. Any ideas?

I've searched this and didn't find any info so thought i'd start a thread which may be useful to others. I miss driving a 211 because of the 2 part visor which is excellent when your constantly changing angles and in most other cars you only have the one visor to flip back and forth. I...

I think i have had the worst luck of my life with my vehicles this week: 1) Sunday morning trying to go to church, the 210 refused. It started and stopped immediately three times. It's never done that before. :dk:So we gave up and we all got in the Accord. 2) Had a dicky starter in the...

I'm as much for getting these off the road as anyone but is this legal?:- I run a small repair and restoration business on a (confirmed by our landlord) privately owned business park, i've had a small van parked outside there for about 4 weeks waiting for a repair and return to the customer...

Has anyone had dealings with this particular car dealer? I thought I should post a note of my experience of these dodgy guys. I was going to buy a SL350 from them, but as they were in Sunderland, and I was in London, I had the car inspected by the RAC before I actually saw it. No point of...

Cutting MOT red tape for classic vehicle owners - News - Department for Transport

Have a look at this. It had been parked in this position for approx 30mins. There is a Pelican crossing 6ft from it's rear doors. Not a sign of anyone in or near it. Are there valid reasons why the driver is exempt from laws all the rest of us have to abide by? (Other than the WPC was in...

Just found this on the VOSA website http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/technical%20pen%20picture%204.pdf

Almost a case of tell us something we don't know BBC News - Insurers undervalue wrecked vehicles, ombudsman claims

Interesting iece on Mercedes research vehicles over on the eMercedesbenz site An Overview of Mercedes-Benz Research Vehicles | eMercedesBenz Includes their 3 wheeler and the C class based Vario from 95 which I hadn't seen before.

Hi all Need to replace my cabstar lcv which is under 3500kg. Been offered a renault mascot crewcab tipper which is fitted with a tacho and is 6500kg gross 3500kg carr/capacity. Never done anything over 3500kg and this vehicle would be ideal as its not too big. Dealer insists it is treated...

What should this mean? My rant? Lately I've noticed the Highways Agency 'Traffic Officer' vehicles using these 'Police Patrol Vehicle Only' spots / perches on the motorways, in particular along the M40 and M6. I assume that they must have permission from the Police to do so? It's...

Without wanting to take anything away from these great cars, I wonder if they'll be future classics? I guess I'm looking at the W202/208/210 AMGs mainly. Only reason I wonder is that I ask myself what makes these cars notably different from the mainstream models - in terms of equipment...

Mercedes AMG – For Sale Unfortunately due to a Seperation, this labour of love must be sold, I am gutted about this, but sometimes I guess these things happen. The car started life as a 320e but being a bit car crazy I just could not leave it alone. I slowly started to make various...

This is a phenomena that has become increasingly normal over recent years and has now reached a dangerous level. I guess it's more common in London or major towns but has now made it's way out to the sticks..... I travel daily down country lanes where many people park on the road and...

It seems more and more insurance companies are not allowing drivers with Fully Comp insurance the automatic right to drive other vehicles 3rd party on the policy - this is even happening with some companies when the annual renewal comes round :crazy: . In the past I'm fairly sure this was taken...

In response to this thread, this may be of interest. Drivers will see a new style of winter treatment on England's motorways and major A roads from this Autumn, as the Highways Agency replaces its yellow 'gritters' and invests £45 million in a new fleet to tackle snow and ice. Pre-wet salt...

Hi Not that i do this particually often, mainly due to the price of fuel!, I am interested to know what the result could be of someone reporting a smoking or iding vehicle: http://www.westlothian.gov.uk/law-licensing/1101/47 I heard an advert on the local radio station saying that you...
