Oh don't be like that - it's not nice

I think you will find the car is driven from the rear rescueuall. .
The tunnel through the centre of the car is the give-away. This is where the drive for the rear wheels runs underneath.
Enjoy the car but give it to someone else to do maintenance

HI

I know I have replied to your reply but the more I thiunk about it the more dissapointed I am

I didnt ask the question on the forum to get a reply like that, I do drive the car but regretably I<m not mechanical minded, we all cant be experts, I thought these forums was designed to assist folk with questions on their car, my god how wrong was I

just incase your in the habit of trying to slag anyone off for asking a question and you have forgotten mines I asked is the c180 FWD or not

a very dissapointed junior member as I thought these boards were friendly , obviously not

Enjoy the forum for what it is. An informative media based around all things Merc and some things not. I'm new hear myself and have been enjoying my time spent for that short spell.
Keep visiting and do not take offence when somone has a bad day.

Just read your reply but my message stands
Your quite welcome

Just one more thing
My car is all over the place in this so I leave it at home. LOL
You can always add a couple of bags of sand. LOL

woah, calm down. It was only a joke. FWIW I apologise, you obviously didn't like my dry sense of humour

No hard feelings eh?

Really though, I am gobsmacked that somebody can drive a car and not know which wheels are driven. I strongly suggest you take some kind of advanced tuition, perhaps a ridedrive course, or an IAM or ROSPA course?

HI

When I sat my test in 1984 the requirements then didnt ask you to know if a car was rear wheel drive or front wheel drive, maybe the new style tests do i,m unaware of new requirements for the driving test

I enjoy driving, but leave all maintenance to my local garage, I have 22 years driving experience with cars and 15 with fire engines and high reach appliances

I think that this subject should now be laid to rest as another kind member actually took time to explain it to me
