I pulled up to a set of red traffic lights this morning in the right hand lane.
There were several cars to my left and 1 car in front - a marked police car.
We were sitting patiently waiting for the lights to turn green when the police car started to move off - through the red light. He got...

Hi everyone. Recently bought a '94 C280 salloon and the backbox is rusty. Can anyone tell me if a back box from an AMG c36/43 is a straight fit? (Just want a nice set of tail pipes instead of the standard ones) How much should i expect to pay for a new one of these from mercedes? Also...
I've just changed the spark plugs on my 96 E280T (along with some other work), which was "serviced" just before I bought it late last year.
The problem I had was after running on a journey for an hour or so, the engine would slightly misfire at higher revs when overtaking, with the odd...
01 W210 boot opens and shuts fine, well until last night in the petrol station and it wont slam shut:mad:, bungee strap it down, to work remove bungee and it locks and shuts fine.
If you operate the lock with a screwdriver with the boot open it clicks in and out as it should, sounds okay, all...
Hi, i recently posted a thread after viewing a c43 and noticing the same size tyres front and rear, you guys put me wise telling me that the fronts should be 225/45 17 and the rears 245/40 17. I went back today to see the car for a second time and on further inspection found that the near side...
A rare post indeed from me but R2 has developed a problem:eek: The drivers mirror has stopped indicating and adjusting up and down but despite the fault showing in the cluster, the mirror will indicate when the mirror is folded in! I'm having it sorted at the weekend but have been warned it...

You won't believe this (but then again, you might); the reason for my factory order being delayed by a month is that the Mercedes production line has been using the wrong diesel. At least, that's what my dealer has been told.
Apparently, they only have 'summer' diesel - and not 'winter'...
