    My wife has a 25,000m E320CDi (9/2000 vintage)with a few problems, neither of which the dealer has been able to find. First one is a strange 'flapping' noise from the O/S rear wheel, which appears intermittently when pulling away. We've checked the tyres etc. Lastly, the steering intermittently

  • 306 D Turbo - again! 1 Nov 2002 (Forum)
    Hi all, A while ago I posted on here about my woes with my 306. When cornering and travelling at low speed across rough ground, I can hear a creaking/banging type sound coming from the O/S front wheel area. The general opinion was that the arb droplinks needed replacing. Well I replaced them
  • Volvo S60 T5 SE v 2.4T SE 1 Nov 2002 (Forum)

  • LED Lighting eg Range Rover 5 Oct 2002 (Forum)
    , cost of vehicle off road and so on. So wondered when this technology was going to filter down onto normal cars and get rid of the high frequency we all see of cars diving round with light(s) out. Seen quite a few of the new Range Rover, but yesterday was the first time I'd followed one. LED rear
  • Old shape BMW 7 series 22 Jun 2002 (Forum)
    I'm seriously considering getting a second hand 7 series on an S or T plate. I cover about 25k a year, including a couple of trips to Austria/Switzerland, and the idea of a car like this for under £15,000 appeals to me. Am I being a complete fool? If so, you'd better talk me out of it. I really
  • MOT failure points? Newbie query. 11 Jun 2002 (Forum)

    of the fast fit places to put another tissue paper box on with a 13 month rust through guarantee. Does anywhere near Yeovil sell Ernst (or similar good quality) exhausts? I know G&S in Bristol do, but it's a bit far away. Or are there any decent exhaust suppliers around here? I'm not afraid to crawl
  • Driven Tonight 31 Mar 2002 (Forum)
    In the absence of the regulation thread on Driven I?ll start one. The comparison between the S class Merc and 7 series BMW IMHO set new a new low even by the standards of this programme.

  • Price guides 21 Aug 2001 (Forum)
