weather

I've noticed that over the last couple of weeks the centre screen seems a little unsure if its light (but not dark). Its only in the mornings and it has been very foggy and grey when there is the confusion. I've switched from auto to day and it changes and then back to auto and it goes back to...

Not sure this has been covered but strangely the radiator fan in my C63 (W204) now where the weather has turned cold (only in this cold weather) kicks in 1-2 minutes into the drive and then comes off again after 5ish minutes. Seems very good and would be good with some advice / experience on...

So need 4 new tyres. Will go with either PS4 or Conti Sport Contact 5. Both are obviously very good tyres. It rains a lot in Scotland so would be good to hear any opinions on which is best in the rain. Cheers Nick

Unless my car has the power to see into the future and its predicting desert like temperatures on our way I think there is something wrong. The temp reading on the right hand digital readout is was saying today it was 63 degrees in Preston. Obviously it wasn't so what is the likely problem?

The US dealers offer all-weather rubber OEM mats that were pretty good. I had a set on my 2009 C300. And they were available for the w211 as well. But, I've not seen a set for RHD cars. Were they ever offered? Thx! Byas

SLK in the garage.

OK, really bad UK weather..,. What car would you want to be driving?

As above, i would like to replace the big thick weather strip that sits around the osf drivers door as its perishing but i cant see how it attaches to the door itself? Any ideas?:dk:

W123 Ive managed to source x4 new outer weather window/door seals. Does anyone know if they can be replaced by taking off the inner door cards or can I do by just taking off the outer chrome trim and dislodge the rubbers this way.

Anyone use v power diesel in winter. Does it provide better economy. I have read a few comments/questions on forums for other cars, wondering if anyone on here does this?

On the final part of a trip from the NW I ran into the last snow shower of the day and got an ABS/BAS/ESP warning coming up all at once. This was at a time when the outside temperature dropped from about 3 degrees to −1. Any idea what I'm looking at (hoping against hope it'll be one of...

Hello all, Problem RF lock/unlock misbehaving I am reduced to locking/unlocking my car via IR only, for a while now. However, recently as the cold weather has arrived the RF suddenly has started to work again but only if the temperature outside or inside the car remains at or roughly below...

Hi, My 2002 (had it for 1 week) W210 (its an estate so is it a S210?) has 18" AMG alloys on it. I drive 20 miles every day down back roads with kerbs, pot holes and not quite wide enough for 2 cars. So I was looking for either some 16" winter tyres, but in the end I have ordered some...

05.00 this morning dropped off relatives at Heathrow. In, out back home for brekky. So short while later just got on to M3, customary speed in lane 1, not a care in the world, light traffic. Then overtaken at great speed by an older, dirty & very heavily laden BMW 5 series estate that...

Before I go any further this is NOT an attempt to be racist/poking fun/etc in any way. I read this recently and thought it was quite funny. I hope you all take it totally in the spirit in which it is intended.......which is '100% light-hearted'. "Our weather is like Muslims.....it's either...

If you have to go to work then this is a nice way to do it. Cannot wait till 5pm

I have a C55 with Xenon lights. Most of the time they work just fine but I've found when the weather is cold they will flicker slightly and then you'll get these intense flashes when I assume they go out momentarily and then start back up again. I thought it was just the right side doing it the...

Steady run down from manc to London.. Quite impressed with mpg so far :)
