Hi again Alastair. Some reasonable justification I am sure :cool:. Pictures have always and will always speak volumes and thousands of words. I must be honest and say that I have never really warmed to Porsche but having said that the older cars now that I am in my late 70's do really have an...

Hi Alastair. What is stopping you from using your 911SC ? I have just finished reading an article in 'MyLondon' that is very very much in the interests of anyone and every one that drives a car and more especially those with older cars that currently comply with ULEZ...

Hi Alistair. Thank you for that short input with 'HI' - Human Intelligence. There are that many acronyms these days I have difficulty in keeping up with them - there you go - have I just created yet another or am I so far behind the times that that my at very nearly 78 years young that I need...

Hi Binnedit. What is ICE ?

I assume that 'saw' was a typo and should have read snore !! Perhaps the not so difficult to believe tale of the Winnebago driver that left the drivers seat in favour of letting 'Cruise Control' take over !! It just shows that you do not need brains and intelligence to be comfortably well-off...

Hi Blobcat. I am still non the wiser. Is this something that is the butt of area related jokes alluding to intelligence rating ?

Hello Mark. Pray tell where is South Central as I am not familiar with it at all !!

Hi to you all out there. What the hell is this government really really about ? VED out of the roof and a rather quickly shrinking used car market for larger vehicles registered before 23rd March 2006. The insane thinking behind the £0 for putting certain hybrid and electric vehicles on the...

Why does Mercedes Benz make such much more of simplistic features. This was quite simply always known as Speed Sensitive steering and was common enough on big Fords,Vauxhall,Jaguar and the like. At parking speed it was light and did not induce Cardiac Failure in the older drivers and especially...

Hi BC. I would have thought that with an auto there was a greater need because of the potential for creeping - you must remember the DoT adverts on the TV where a new driver lightly shunts the rear of the car in front - I recall it being a Police Car !

Hi Rory. I do that as a matter of course.

The reason behind me asking is quite simply because the car will not stay stationary on a slight incline facing down. I have never believed in sitting with my foot on the footbrake because of the annoyance it will cause to drivers that may be behind me and the potential for burning out the...

What is the official procedure when it comes to applying the foot operated Park Brake ? Is the Auto box taken out of 'D' and into 'N' or not ? Does being on a slight incline and facing downhill change any aspect of using the Foot Operated Parking Brake ?

Hi Blobcat. I believe that that is not now necessary thanks to you tagging them but when/if needed how do I PM any member when I cannot find them in the forum search box ?

Thank you Blobcat. How does one contact the club ?

Hi to Admin and the Moderators. I have just discovered that your sister site is malfunctioning and will not open :-- the message that I received is copied &pasted below. This page isn’t working www.mercedesspecialistfinder.co.uk didn’t send any data. ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Hi Rob. As Blobcat has pointed out, MB-Tex is most definitely a vinyl and interestingly enough I have not come across a damaged one until the other day albeit that could well be Artico and the damage was in the same place and on the same panel as I posted an image of. The easiest way of...

Hi bosa. Yes the only real way is for a replacement panel to be fitted and ideally by a motor trimmer or an upholsterer with motor trimming skills. Vinyl Welding and the plethora of gels that are about are really only used by the motor trade used car bodges that just want shot of a problem and...

Hi E'sD. Cracking along the vinyl weld edge is often seen before the area around hardens and cracks as a new failure. Back in the mid/late 70's there was a company based in Knowsley,Merseyside that started off doing only such repairs but later diversified into domestic upholstery/re-upholstery...

I have been looking at a 2005 55 plate Jasper Blue C220 CDI Auto Estate that is advertised as having got leather seats with a view to changing my Iridium Silver 55 plate C220 CDI Auto Estate for a blue one which was the colour that I was first attracted to. Upon quizzing the dealer about the...
