    W207 Fuel economy not as expected

    Have a sniff of your engine bay. You may have some leaky fuel hoses. New air filter just cos it's easy.

    Mercedes 190E Convertable !

    If you look on google images there are pictures of w201 convertibles. To be honest the real w124 convertible is much nicer.

    Mercedes 190E Convertable !

    I think a few w201 convertibles have been made over the years by coachbuilders. This one is based on an early w201 as it has no hydraulic wiper blade mechanism. Pity they never made an estate w201. Personally i hate the sec front end conversions but the Recario classic seats are amazing (and...

    Anyone found their W212 E250 CGI Avantgarde suspension too hard?

    Even Renault now

    When i was a child my dad always had Citroens. GS estate, CX estate and then 2 Ciitroen BX's. He never had a problem with them that i can recall but maybe back then Citroens were still real Citroens. Hydro suspension and all. I learnt to drive in a Citroen BX. Loved it.

    In the early 2000's i had a mate who had a Renault 25 turbo in black with black leather. Absolute flying machine. The French used to make wonderful fast barges.
