I've queried this before ... still none the wiser. How accurate is the digital read outs for fuel consumption ? My C Class speedometer in 1% high at 100Ks. Don't know about the ODO. Can I believe the average 7lts/ 100ks reading.??? P.S 100/115 on the Motorway going to Katoomba

Is it my imagination again or is a smoothed idle and better Fuel consumption the result after I spray cleaned the inlet and inlet valves on our 50,000ks Turbo C Class 2010 model. Bought from the local Auto Store and sprayed as per instructions, down the main hose to the Turbo.( I could not sort...

The Guy I used at Castle Hill was a Radiator specialist. Multi skilled We rebuilt the Air Con Compressor from my 107 together.. and re-gassed the system with the new Gas. He has Clutch Kits and Pulley Kits, and Seal Kits etc. Also he cut open and re welded the Fuel Tank. Very reasonably with...

Only on the Drivers side. Clayed the screen and replaced the Blade ( new Bosch) A flick of the washer fluid stops the chatter temporarily. The blade turns over as it changes direction up and down.

I still do not know what the terms of 5/7 year warranty are. Nothing specific on the Net that I can find. E.g., is it a requirement that a fixed Service contract must be entered to with the Dealer to ensure this cover ??? Or does the Law stipulate that the Warranty must be honored as with the...

As I no longer trust the Battery in our 104 C Class i now carry a Jump Starter Pac. See At Kogan Web Site .Under "Centa" or Automotive sector. It's a mini Unit, 12,000 M.AR Could fit in your Pocket.. but it works. I disconnected the Battery in our Mk V11 Golf and started the engine twice. No...

2012 Ford Mondeo with Auto Trans. Cost to strip to replace an internal sensor, plus maybe some other parts, Seals and clutches. $7000 from two Shops. Worth of the Car ? $7000 with a good Transmission. Ditto most of the others. Any major repair soon exceeds the Valuation of all but the high end...

I have been searching in vain for a description of Rover's in house design of their own Automatic Transmission. Available in the mid fifties in R100S ??. I'm sure Michael would know a site. A local Car Dealer asked me to have a look at one with a problem in the late sixties... I declined his...

Not a word from Michael about the auction of the Canberra Rovers, some 60 odd. How many did you come home with Michael for instance ????

Is it my imagination or is our C Class performing much better with a fully charged battery. ie 100% full. I bought a Smart Charger specifically designed for AGM Batteries, it has 7 stages to run through to ensure a full Battery. 5 Amps over night once a week.

Today in New Town a very, very, nice Citron Safari Wagon in two Tone Grey. A rare item these days. Last time I saw one was in Brisbane in 1970 at the Dealer in Newstead. In their Day, the cream of the Wagon crop.

Telstra tell me that our 9 year old Nokia Phone which clips into the centre console of our 2010 Class will not work after the switch to 3 G (in September?) I recall changing to an updated Sim Card a year or so ago. Now they say we need a new Phone as well, which I assume will be a Bluetooth...

Did you know that the Mazda 2 & 3 are based on the Ford Fiesta and Focus ? (AND PROBABLY BETTER BUILT.) Well I didn't. But I do know that Ford own a large chunk of Mazda. A global economy after all. And what has that to do with a Mercedes Forum ? Well the Chrysler Cross Fire is a Mercedes E...

Recent service on a 300E resulted in two issues. First the drain plug fitting inside the Transmission Pan was raised not allowing a complete drain of the oil ??????? Second we could not stop the drain plug from leaking when refitted.. no gasket or seal. was not leaking before ???? Posts on the...

Nothing much.... all the engineering principles had been sorted the eighteenth century. We have advance in metallurgy and oils in leaps and bounds, probably by the second World War's end. Electronics I hear you cry, well they took of with the invention of the transistor... an electronic switch.

No not another VW comment !!! This time its Nissen, They have further developed a variable compression Engine, to be installed in the Infineti. ( spelt right ? ) Runs from 8 to 1, to 13 to 1 shifting seamlessly as necessary. Improves performance and economy. The internal combustion Engine is...

Did I forget to mention that VW have revived the Miller Cycle Engines? Alongside a new Variable geometry Turbo it should overcome the drawbacks of holding the inlet valve open in the compression stroke. More power and better economy. The march of time. P.S. my Granddaughter has explained to me...
