I used Compare the Market site to get the best deal on my car insurance and took 8 weeks to get my meerkat toy.

Hey i just Replaced the seat belt retainer after it broke (would not retain at all) and on the cluster saying srs restraint system service and srs was on after the replacement i have a new message on the cluster saying restraint system defective visit workshop and with the srs light still on...

Hi Guys, Hope everyone is well and enjoyed some of the good weather weve had over the summer (apart from the weather now:( I havn't been on here to make any posts as its been incredibly busy at the studio with getting cars prepped for summer and shows etc. But this week has actually been...

I am thinking of taking my wife and daughter [24] to Barcelona in a couple of weeks. I have been there once - about 25 years ago - and, frankly, remember nothing, apart from Gaudi! We would fly from south of Birmingham and stay for 3/4 nights. My idea is to take a flight and book accommodation...

Hi Guys I am after some advice here regarding the below. My dad has a W221 2008 320 CDI SWB with genuine MB 18" wheels (245's at the front and 275's at the rear, if I remember correctly) and due to going abroad, the car will remain in a garage for 5 weeks and will not be started (since I...

Hi, I have an SLK 350 (05 Reg) purchased in July from an independent garage. Noticed early that gear change was lumpy. After having codes checked , then gearbox oil & filter change, the garage used Merc specific analyser to check problem. Pointed to the gearbox ECU. Part ordered form MB (1 week...

I landed back here this morning, get out to a rainy gloomy Luton airport carpark and get in the car. The key wont turn in the ignition barrel, so I spend the next 10 minutes pushing pulling and twisting the key every way I can (and probably making some very weird facial expressions). Finally...

Well I have had my ML270 W163 a few weeks now & overall I am over the moon with it, it is everything I hoped it would be. There have been a few hiccups but this was to be expected on a used vehicle. Up to now the following has needed to be sorted: New front brake pads & discs. Front wheel...

So my brand new C class amg sport plus is going well! 2 Weeks out of 5 its been in the garage and it doesn't look like its coming back anytime soon! Tyre pressure warning keeps coming on on 15+ mile journeys and MB are stumped! Paying for a car i don't have! and they have lent me a...

Preamble : Got a new E220 CDI Sport Coupe 3 weeks ago as a replacement for my ageing W220 S500. Now that the snow has appeared and my car is not looking too new and shiny, I thought I should make a post to reflect on my 800 miles spent in my new car. Where do I start ??? There are so...

Previous two weekends I've been on-call so just sitting around the house but the weather was horrid so I couldn't wash the car and I knew I had to do something this weekend - even if it was just flushing out the arches and underbody... In the morning I changed the pollen filter as the HVAC...

Very sad to say that my nice new C63 estate which I collected on November 23rd is now languishing at MB Milton Keynes waiting to have its gearbox taken out :( I'd noticed over the last couple of days some small oil patches on the driveway and after a drive today had to pull over to inspect...

Heston is in this weeks Waitrose paper, but to be honest he looks a bit of a nob!

Hi Guys after only 4 weeks of ownership,the roof pump failed on my 2005 clk,I did buy this car from a dealer (not a main dealer) but a dealer that has been around for a few years! he is saying it his not his responsibility to fix this!(and his attitude is a bit aggressive) it has been into a...

The test of the practicality of the CLS as a family car was always going to be put to the test in our annual summer hols trip into Europe. With roofbox on (necessary evil) we cruised across to France, then Italy and back. It racked up 2,300 miles in 2 weeks and it didn't miss a beat. It happily...

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 Its been a long while (6 years) since we went for a long holiday abroad, but as we are currently saving a bit to move house budget is very low, but we do want to go somewhere... We are considering a holiday somewhere which is still reasonably decent weather in October (probably early oct)...
