I think the market has shifted somewhat for Mercedes over the past two decades. In my opinion, if you had a Mercedes pre-1990 you were rolling in top class, maybe the equivelant of a Porsche 911 kind of status. As people have mentioned, I think they went through abit of a state in the 90's and...

Forget it - placebo says it works. No substitute for a proper clean - i.e - intake manifold off.

This is the issue nowadays, there is no compassion - just the whole "screw them for all you can get" attitude. Accidents cannot be avoided, I would consider a full repair, courtesy car and an apology sufficient. It was nice of them to offer a meal - which the customer took the mick for, and...

I paid in full for the first time this year - this is because its the first time my insurance has cost less than a grand! I took out a 6month 0% credit card and paid with that..... So I am paying off the card in installments but without any APR.

Injectors, as others have said. I have sent a few sets to Diesel Bob Tuning in the past, who has sent them back like new!

I thought people stopped doing stuff like this in the late 90's?

A - 2003 A4 B6 2.5TDi Quattro B - 2005 Megane 225 Trophy (Which replaced Rachs' MG ZR of 5 years - Aim with the Megane is for me to jump in and have a hoon when the mood suits! - must say its a cracking car on the twisties) Bike - 2001 Honda CBR600 Sport (FS1) - Recently started biking - its...

I think these new Golf R's are going to be the weapon of choice for criminals. Perfect blend of power and subtle looks.

Good idea - may be worth while sending a message to Sandra, I think she looks after the VCDS map on the site - which would be similar to what you are suggesting.

I have been using an ECS magnetic one for a few years. Get a little swarf (if you can call it that - more like microscopic particles) everytime I do an oil change - (5,000 miles) Dont know if it helps out - time will tell. I guess if I get a lot of swarf at any point it will be a sign that...

Its an interesting one - such a profitable show. Its pretty much the only show I will make time to view, or even turn the TV on for. I can see BBC's point-of-view, Clarkson has been in the press for things he has said before (maybe trivial, but im guessing the BBC get a lot of complaints), so I...

I use Camskill usually. All New Tyres as a second preference - they are cheap but call to make sure they have them in stock before ordering.

Good stuff - which armoured jeans did you go for? Im going to be looking at getting an armoured hoodie and jeans for the short rides from my house to the unit (2 miles) during the summer months - cant really justify getting the leathers on for a 5 minute ride. I am getting closer to having mine...

Depends on the value of the car I guess. I bought my A4 from Coldstream - around 200 miles from Liverpool but the car was good and had a lengthy phone conversation with the seller before I went. I had a specification of the car I wanted, so it meant searching further for the right one. For...

My old boss mentioned these a few years ago - his mate had one and was forever hitting things! Reckoned they were abit dangerous.

This is how mines sitting at the moment, plenty of winter maintenance / work to be getting along with (valve clearances, fork rebuild, caliper rebuilds.etc) Hoping to have her ready again mid-march ready for a trackday.

January 2013 I think.

I passed my bike test last year. Should have done it a few years ago before they made it more of a process; I did it this way; 1 - CBT 2 - Theory test (at test centre, done on a computer - questions and video based hazard perception) 3 - Mod 1 Test 4 - Mod 2 Test 1 - The CBT is straight...

As above, lightest load as possible until up-to-temp. A slower warm up will stress the block and other components less. I think the 1.8T is limited in boost until a certain temperature too.

I would expect there would be some wiring changes that would need to be done - possibly a different amp and MMI coding to be done?
