Looking through the literature the E240 is slower and uses more fuel than the E320. Almost pointless even existing, apart from £5.5k less.

Cheapest E class estate on Autotrader. 4 pot with EML on and 11 previous owners. At a grand more than I paid for this. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202309182090754 While mine has a short MOT (10th Jan), tyres need replacing as perished, rear view mirror dicky and drivers wing mirror heate...

It is. But people do seem to assume you'll drive under the speed limit everywhere. Also it's a naturally aspirated Honda engine. This means simple and solidly reliable. It also means you have no low down torque and need to rev the fuck out of it to get the power. But she likes it and is happy so tha...

  Now for the bad news. Mrs SiC didn't mind the car as a passenger and was quite comfortable sat there.  So we swapped sides and I let her drive it. Bit of a mistake. She's a very good driver and doesn't mind jumping in anything to pilot. However it's flipped her view and cemented her dislike for i...

I'd think you'd get 30mpg reasonably easily then. I've been pricing up a MAF (£79 on eBay for Bosch with a reputable seller but I'll wait for a discount code) and also I need to check the thermostat with the diagnostic tool. Thermostats appear they should open at 87c. This sits around 80c indicated ...

I could be interested. As much as I feel a 1.0 Micra will take me back to being 17, I think its work will be cut out on the new commute. If it's a long commute, you might be visiting the pump often. If you don't have Clean Air Zone or ULEZ to deal with on a long motorway commute, I think a diesel w...

Some good news and some bad news from today. Good news first. Did a code scan. Loads of codes related to low voltage. I know the battery has been changed. So makes sense that before it was changed, it got upset with a failing battery. But codes not cleared so still there. After I cleared them, there...

I've been using it all day today just running around. Getting an indicated 24mpg. Now while this is out of town traffic, we have a shit tonne of roadworks around here (fark you North Somerset Council organising them all together). So it's spent a good while sat idling. No doubt not helping that cons...

That makes sense - mine are just the fixed hid lights - as yours are the fancy adaptive ones they may be different and maybe don’t do the little dance. Or the mechanism could be fucked 😁 Not all cars do the dance and I've found the earlier cars didn't. I don't think my Laguna did and that was a sim...

Judging by the black background dials, it’s an elegance which would have had halogen projectors as standard so they must be an option or someone’s been changing stuff. They should do the up and down dance. I had to change the burners in mine as they were very dim. Now much better with oem spec repl...
