vehicles

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...

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...

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...

According to Thomas Weber, head of technology and research as well as development for the Mercedes Car Group: "All our vehicles will have turbocharged engines in series production by the end of 2010 at the latest." Slightly ironic from a company who once rejected turbocharging petrol engines as...

Does anybody know why all US vehicles (from EU Manufacturers) have as standard most equipment that in the EU are paid accessories. And is not that they cost more over there (before TAX at least) ? Why do we get screwed over by the manufacturers (MB included)

According to this story

Just a general question really. Traffic lights are at red and there's sirens, blue flashing lights, flashing headlights blazing away behind you. This might be an ambulance, fire engine or police vehicle.There are also cameras at the junction. You can't pull over. What would you do...

Remember all the spin about improving the social fabric by removing abandoned vehicles? Now there was I thinking that this POS dumped 50 yards from my front gate would be a qualifier. Been there for 10 days now and has been vandalised in the meantime. Reported it a number of times last week to...
