Hi,
We are new to this fabulous site - my wife's new car is an SLK 320 and I am trying to establish which model/chassis ie 170 or R171 it is. I have read threads on the site relating to a W170, a 170, an R170 and a R171?
I am therefore hoping that someone may be able to help - the one that we...
She does about 60/70 miles motorway driving a day, so im looking for a motor that is good for quite a lot of mileage that i want to last at least 5 years.
I only have about £5,000 to spend very soon, like now.
Any suggestions?
P.S. She blew up her Smart car today that i have been begging her...
Hello
Wife left her car in a Multistory yesterday and this morning noticed the passenger side door has been well bift, creased the panel and down to bear metal :(
I've just seen it after she has just got in and it is quite bad, certainly the car that hit it would have known...its not just...
My dear wife has a girls night out planned tomorrow night with a few of her girlfriends, as she's on the wagon at the moment she's offered to drive. Good plan I though until she mentioned that "I might take them in style and use the SClass!" :eek:
She's not driven it much and I must admit to...
Without wanting to join any Corsa forum, wife reveresd into a bollard in Tesco. Smashed rear fog light situated in rear plastic bumper.
Does the bumper need to be removed to replace the light unit ? Anyone know ?
The missus is after a car. Budget 7k tops, nothing outlandish etc..
I have been shopping around. I have driven a 1-series 1.6 petrol and seemed ok. The other choice is a Mini Cooper One.
The mini's are noticebly cheaper. I personally think the 1-series is a v.nice car..
i dont know :crazy:
Got home tonight after a s*** day and was greeted with the sight of the wife trying to fix her car! I have been informed that she "bumped" the Fiesta while pulling up to a round about - the lorry having stopped in front of her.
damage is minimal - front grille cracked, bonnet has moved so...
Last week while my wife was at the gym, another visitor to the gym hit her parked car and shunted it half a car length into the front of another parked car before driving off, leaving the scene of the accident.
The damage is quite substantial and her car (being 9 years old) will probably be a...

Not with the wife, I think I know what to do there! But I'm concerned the garage can't find/fix the fault with my car not starting and they have had it on and off since Friday.
The car is a 2002 C220 CDI auto and I've owned it for about 6 months with no problems. Now when trying to start it...
Probably a long shot on a Mercedes forum but hey, someone might want one.
It's a nice car with no faults but she's gone and bought a Shogun so doesn't need it any more.

Edit. It's a 2005, 05 reg 2.0i-Vtec sport.
And there have been strong hints that she would like another C220 coupe.....
So if anyone knows of a 1990ish C320 pillerless coupe going....or due to...please let me know !
Hi all,
My wife has had a scrape down the side of her Honda Jazz, on the back rear door, and going over the arch.. Caused by a brick wall - the door has dented slightly (by about 2mm - no more seriously), and its scratched the paint down to the metal.
Dealer has just called me with a quote...

The wife was flashed by a gatso this morning. It was on the other side of the road, facing towards her and flashed white light.
She was the only car around.
Was she got - can they flash white light into the drivers face - or has she triggered it but won't be got??
Any ideas or...
As previously mentioned on our way back some inconsiderate person side swiped the Coupe. Not a lot of damage, apart from our prides, but enough, according to Mr Mercedes (Blackpool) to warrant a new bumper, a new wing and a respray of the door. (that gets rid of the rust :D )
him - enjoying drive back from Port Solent Lunch G2G :bannana:
her - driving home from work when two busses came to an impasse. One reversed to make way.... onto her bonnet.... :crazy:
