yesterday

Not really much, though. It's a 2008 E-class (S211) estate, with 88K miles on it. The rear wiper motor doesn't work; the load area lights do not come on; the luggage cover does not lift automatically when the tailgate is opened. I knew about the first two snags when I bought the car. The...

Nothing major. Pulled up at a set of lights on duel carriageway yesterday in my van. Sat at a standstill with foot on brake for about 10 seconds then bang! I was shunted forward about two foot. Got out to check on driver and damage. Young girl driver very apologetic. Not a major amount of damage...

First off, my apologies for this not being an especially car related topic although, in my defence, it is about Brooklands, the oldest motor racing circuit in the world. For extra relevance (maybe a tad spurious, I will admit;)) it is right next door to the renowned MB World.:D Anyhow, I'm...

Just thought I'd share a couple of pictures

Finally got one. New c220 amg line premier plus auto estate with brilliant blue paint, airmatic, and black ash wood trim. Originally I was after a petrol one but the wait was to long (Sept/Oct). The sport plus is due 2 rear tyres and big service incl gearbox oil, plus its depreciating quite...

Got the SL booked in for a service on Monday. It's been going to the same main dealer for over 10 years now ... they give me 45% off labour plus 15% off parts, are still happy for me to provide my own Mobil 1 from Costco, and never push to do extra work (in fact they told me to stop having it...

What a car. I just need to persuade the wife to sell the house!!!

I had a 64 plate C200 Diesel B Class yesterday, Nice quiet engine compared to my 62 Reg C Class Sport Plus, but not for me, I didn't like the body roll and front wheel drive, nice high up driving position. It was an auto like my C Class, it felt a bit cheaper inside. It had 18" wheels so felt...

In anticipation of seeing Rashman and a few others with beautifully presented motors at the weekend, I had a sudden panic to give the old waqon a clean yesterday. It was in a bit of a state from my various fishing trips and covered in dust from our neighbours building works (no garage...

Yellow is the new silver ;) :D

If it snows like hell this weekend ... Then you know who to blame !! :eek:

Having 'lost' my CLK500 for over 7 weeks to the repair shop last summer after an 'Insure the Box' customer scraped down the side of the bloody thing, guess what happened this afternoon......? As I stopped at a pedestrian crossing to let a mother and baby in a pram cross, I got 'stuffed up the...

Here is the damage - Luckily ACID from MSL is sending me a new glass window.... Had to take all the seats out as the shattered glass went everywhere!

driving along the motorway yesterday a nice 12 foot long bit of the red and white plastic barrier stuff decided to shoot across the road at 6 foot in the air ploughing into the side of the car in front - cue much merryment of emergency swerving and braking and squeezing between 2 collided cars...

On returning to my Mercedes E Class Estate parked in a busy Brighton Multistorey yesterday after a family Christmas outing, I was horrified to find one of the rear windows totally gone. Looking inside, twinkling in acres of my pale grey leather back seat was a mountain of smashed glass...

Met up with Jules yesterday to grab my air filters (thanks again Jules) Couple of snaps took!

...but it had a puncture! Apparently they can't source one from the UK so they have to get one shipped in from Germany. Not sure why the tyres are so special??? Hopefully they will have a replacement for next weekend. Having said that I did get to look at it and start it up. The sound was...

B180CDI - 2005 M/Y So the last couple of days have been very wierd. No change of use pattern, all has been well, until a re-fuel the day before yesterday. Millers Ecomax in the tank as always for the last 6 months. Yesterday, wife was driving as normal and she reported it was gutless, no...
