My 1999 E55 AMG W210 was serviced recently - big service entailing all 16 spark plugs, 2x engine air filters, fuel filter, oils, etc, etc... But when I picked it up I thought it lacked pulling power in the low rev range.
After driving it for a couple of weeks since the service I still think...
Toyota owners in the United States have filed dozens of group lawsuits claiming that massive safety recalls have hammered the value of their cars in an action which could cost the company more than £2 billion...
I've just driven my vehicle for the first time since it was worked on at MB, to find that the undertray has not been secured and is now dragging along the road. This doesn't fill me with confidence and to have a working vehicle off the road is bad enough, but to have it off the road due to this...
Just got back from hols in sunny Turkey. Hired a car to buzz around the sights whilst we were there - what an experience!! Things we have seen in just 10 days:
-zero road markings on major dual carriageway, so you can't tell when the road changes between two and three lanes
-zero lane...
:confused:Hi all,
posted this problem about a week ago and still no success in the repair. The whine is much louder now after about half a mile from cold about 1500 revs same when stationary. Today replaced pulley beneath the idler pulley and ran car with idler pulley dissconnected. So...
This will have them queuing around the block, I suspect his phone is red hot! (sorry not a Mercedes again!).
56 plate and new clutch (and Cat D) = thrashed to near extinction!

Bought a copy of Mercedes Enthusiast today (for the free calendar - will look nice on the wall next to my work desk) and I noticed a full page advert for Huge Hefners Personal 600 Pullman.
On the legendary Mercedes were a pair of £20 AMG badges on the wings :rolleyes:

I've just spotted this on Ebay, and I can only describe it as "cream puff with porno red interior". :eek:
It looks like a nice tidy original car with one owner - but the colour scheme...
Good luck to the seller anyway. This has to top my list of worst colour combos...
What a surprise.

As some of you may know my car is currently in the dealer due to an intermittant accellerator problem. Mobilolife have already replaced the pedal assembly to no avail and now the dealer is saying it must be the ECU!
Obviously not very happy and have asked that mercedes be consulted as the...
Hi - I was thinking today as I was reading about the top 50 flops in car production - what was the worse car I have owned...and I have had some pigs...
I think it has to be a Renault 16 - automatic K reg so around a 1972 car.
It had no first gear (only a 3 speed box) so I can remember...
My E220CDI (July03) has done 55K miles. I have noticed that the economy seems to be getting worse. I was getting around 43mpg this has now reduced to 39.5mpg. I would have thought at this mileage things would be perhaps better. Initially I thought it may be linked to ambient temperature...
Today I was driving along and I approached a mini-roundabout (those crappy dots in the road) and over I went, at the same time another bloke was burning around it comming from my right.
As I watched him nearly hit me I end up in the back of a '03 reg Ford Focus :(
The focus then hits...
My right front sensor goes off now about 5 or 6 times on a 15 mile journey.
It always seems to be just after I have hit the brakes :confused:
I've cleaned the sensor and taken it out of the bumper to see if a wire was loose but it looks ok. Has anyone had a single sensor replaced because of...

Well, they say things happen in three's so I guess I've had my third with the CLK today. Driving up the A34 this afternoon and something ripped a large hole in my tire (tyre). Not expensive but after spending £412 at the stealership on Monday and getting rear ended on Friday I've reached the end...
